Shoppers race to get their hands on popular Christmas chocolate spotted on shelves at a major supermarket
A POPULAR Christmas chocolate has been spotted at a major supermarket, despite the big day being five months away. Eagle-eyed shoppers have spotted pouches of Quality Street chocolates on the shelves in Asda. 1 Shoppers have raced to get their hands on Quality Street Favourites pouches The pouches of Quality Street Favourites cost £3.50 for a 334g bag. Every pouch contains just a few flavours of Quality Street chocolate, helping to avoid leaving unwanted sweets at the bottom of your tin. Among the flavours on offer are Mixed Cremes and a Golden Selection. Shoppers have taken to social media to voice their excitement at spotting the popular treats. One person took to Facebook to share the news and said: 'Things are getting festive at Asda.' A second person commented and said: 'I love christmas so it's perfect, just waiting for the Christmas decorations in The Range.' While a third added: 'Might try and get some of these for our pick n mix table xx.' But not everyone was excited about spotting Christmas treats in stores so early in the year. One disgruntled person said: 'In July??' While another added: 'Oh crikey.' It's not the only Quality Street treat on offer in Asda. The supermarket also brought back the Green Triangle-inspired sharing bar after two years. It costs £3.50 for an 84g bar and it has the flavours of the iconic Green Triangle, which is usually found in Quality Street tins. The bars landed on shelves in 2023 but were axed just a year later. Why are products axed or recipes changed? ANALYSIS by chief consumer reporter James Flanders. Food and drinks makers have been known to tweak their recipes or axe items altogether. They often say that this is down to the changing tastes of customers. There are several reasons why this could be done. For example, government regulation, like the "sugar tax," forces firms to change their recipes. Some manufacturers might choose to tweak ingredients to cut costs. They may opt for a cheaper alternative, especially when costs are rising to keep prices stable. For example, Tango Cherry disappeared from shelves in 2018. It has recently returned after six years away but as a sugar-free version. Fanta removed sweetener from its sugar-free alternative earlier this year. Suntory tweaked the flavour of its flagship Lucozade Original and Orange energy drinks. While the amount of sugar in every bottle remains unchanged, the supplier swapped out the sweetener aspartame for sucralose. Meanwhile, Asda is also selling festive Dairy Milk Winter Wonderland chocolate bars. The milk and white chocolate bar contains Christmas tree-shaped pieces and is described as 'perfect for a stocking filler or a little treat at Christmas time' by Cadbury. It costs £1.64 for a 100g bar. The supermarket is also selling Terry's Chocolate Orange Segsations, which contain five delicious flavours. The bags weigh 360g and cost £3.50. More chocolate news The Quality Street bar isn't the only popular treat to return to supermarkets. Mars recently brought back its White Chocolate Maltesers after 11 years off shelves. Plus more chocolates are launching in supermarkets. Cadbury has released a new Dairy Milk Iced Latte flavour in the UK. The bar combines classic Dairy Milk chocolate with a creamy coffee filling and crunchy biscuit pieces. Cadbury also recently brought out a White Dipped Twirl that is a mix of milk and white chocolate. Do you have a money problem that needs sorting?

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) DONALD Trump pressed play on an iconic eighties track yesterday as he played golf in Scotland. The US President teed off his five-day visit with a round at his Turnberry resort, accompanied by a massive security team.

Angry campaigners waved creative signs in Aberdeen and Edinburgh as the American leader enjoyed a round of golf at his luxury Ayrshire resort. But this didn't get the leader of the free world down as he breezed past them while listening to Billy Ocean's 1983 hit Uptown Girl. Also on President Trump's playlist was Memory from the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical Cats, All Out of Love by Air Supply, Unchained Melody by the Righteous Brothers and Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon and Garfunkel. Today, the US leader will meet the president of the European Commission as work gets underway on a five-day visit to Scotland. The US President flew into the country on Friday night and was then seen playing golf at his Trump Turnberry resort the following day. However, on Sunday, he will meet European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen for talks on the trading relationship between Europe and the US. The talks come ahead of discussions with Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer on Monday, which are also expected to focus on trade issues. The UK and the US struck a trade deal recently, with discussions between the two men expected to focus on this, with reports suggesting Sir Keir will be looking for the US to cut the tariffs for British steel. The start of discussions show the US President getting down to business on what is a private, five-day visit to Scotland. Donald Trump touches down in Scotland On Saturday, he was spotted playing a round at the Turnberry course, which he purchased in 2014. A massive security operation was in place as the President played golf. He drove his own buggy, but a heavy security presence saw Mr Trump flanked by a fleet of similar vehicles. Even before he took to the course, police officers and military personnel could be seen searching the area around the resort, which has had a metal fence erected around it as part of heightened security measures. 5 President Trump blasted out Billy Joel's much-loved hit Uptown Girl Credit: Getty 5 The US President donned a black top with a white USA cap Credit: AFP No protesters were seen while he was playing on Saturday, but hundreds of people gathered in both Edinburgh and Aberdeen for demonstrations against his visit, organised by the Stop Trump Coalition. Police Scotland said that no arrests were made but a 50-year-old woman was given a recorded police warning in Edinburgh. After spending some time at his South Ayrshire resort, the President will head to Aberdeenshire, where he is expected to open a second course at his Trump International golf resort in Balmedie. During his time in the north east, Mr Trump is also due to meet Scottish First Minister John Swinney. Speaking ahead of the talks, Mr Swinney said it was his responsibility to "raise global and humanitarian issues of significant importance, including the unimaginable suffering we are witnessing in Gaza" with the President. Saying he wanted to "ensure Scotland's voice is heard at the highest levels of government across the world" Mr Swinney added: "That is exactly what I will do when I meet with President Trump during his time in Scotland." Mr Swinney announced that he met Ms von der Leyen on Saturday evening in Glasgow and discussed the wars in Ukraine and Gaza. Mr Swinney said: "I was pleased to welcome the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, to Scotland. "During our meeting, I outlined Scotland's continued support for the European Union's leadership in demanding free and safe humanitarian aid in Gaza, alongside efforts to bring an end to the unbearable suffering unfolding. "I also took the opportunity to reiterate Scotland's steadfast commitment to Ukraine and the country's commitment to work with European partners on key issues, including energy."
