We've outdone ourselves with this one' say Cadbury Ireland as they reveal new limited edition bar 'coming soon
It comes as Cadbury recently confirmed it has discontinued a popular chocolate bar just two years after its launch.
Fry's Coffee Cream bars, coming in a multi-pack and combining dark chocolate with a fondant centre, have been axed.
A spokesperson said: "We continuously adapt our product range to ensure it meets changing tastes whilst supporting growth for our customers and our business.
'Our Fry's Coffee Cream multi-packs were introduced as a limited-edition product in summer 2023 for fans to enjoy while stocks lasted.
"They have since been discontinued but we still have plenty of other delicious Fry's products for consumers to choose from, including Fry's Chocolate Cream and Fry's Peppermint Cream Multipacks."
Cadbury did not reveal when the bars were axed.
The company has discontinued a number of products over the years, including the popular Dairy Milk Winter Orange Crisp.
At the end of 2023, chocolate fans discovered that Dairy Milk 30% less sugar, which first hit shelves in 2019, had been discontinued.
A spokesperson at the time said that demand for the lower calorie option had dropped.

Scottish aviation giant hires refugees under UNHCR link-up
The company hosted a refugee recruitment event in Mexico which resulted in dozens of people being offered jobs. A senior delegation from Menzies Aviation joined local teams at the event in Guadalajara, alongside Anisah Dathi, commercial director from the British Embassy in Mexico City. More than 50 job seekers attended, gaining insights and advice to pursue and secure employment in the aviation sector with 20 being offered employment on the day, and a further 15 after the event. It builds on the 19 refugees hired in Mexico since the start of the year. Menzies Aviation operates in 37 airports in Mexico and employs more than 4,000 people providing ground services to major airline customers. READ MORE: Through its partnership with UNHCR and other NGO organisations, Menzies has successfully hired refugees in Mexico, as well as in the United Kingdom, France, Romania, and the Czech Republic. Beyond recruitment, Menzies is committed to fostering stability and inclusion through practical employee support initiatives, including its employee housing programme. Juliet Thomson, chief people officer, Menzies Aviation, said: "We're deeply grateful to the Mexican government, local airport authorities, and our partners at UNHCR for their support in making this recruitment event possible. Creating inclusive employment opportunities is a key part of our values as a global employer. "We believe in using our reach to make a positive impact and recognise the strength and resilience refugees contribute to our workforce. Through our Casa Menzies housing programme, we're proud to invest in our people beyond the workplace, providing the foundation for stability and success. Together, these efforts lead to tangible benefits such as lower turnover, reduced absenteeism, and stronger employee satisfaction." Founded as a bookshop in 1833, John Menzies later became a news distributor and a series of acquisitions put it into the airport services sector in the 1980s. It sold its distribution arm in 2018, and was acquired by supply chain giant Agility for £763 million in 2022.

Hewlett-Packard lost hundreds of millions in Autonomy acquisition, judge rules
The technology firm, now known as Hewlett-Packard Enterprise (HPE), sued the British entrepreneur for around five billion US dollars following its purchase of Cambridge-based Autonomy for 11.1 billion dollars (£8.2 billion) in 2011. The company claimed at a nine-month trial in 2019 that Mr Lynch inflated Autonomy's revenues and 'committed a deliberate fraud over a sustained period of time', which it said forced it to announce an 8.8 billion dollar (£6.5 billion) write-down of the firm's worth just over a year after the acquisition. In a ruling in 2022, Mr Justice Hildyard said the American firm had 'substantially succeeded' in their claim, but that it was likely to receive 'substantially less' than the amount it claimed in damages. He said that Autonomy had not accurately portrayed its financial position during the purchase, but even if it had, HPE would still have bought the company, but at a reduced price. A hearing was then held last year to decide the amount that Mr Lynch must pay in damages, before the businessman died aged 59 along with his 18-year-old daughter, Hannah, and five others when his yacht, the Bayesian, sank off the coast of Sicily last August. On Tuesday, Mr Justice Hildyard ruled that HPE suffered losses amounting to £697,876,753 through the purchasing of Autonomy, some of which is set to be paid by Mr Lynch's estate. He also ruled that Mr Lynch's estate is liable to pay part of around 47.5 million dollars in damages, which is worth around £35 million. Some of the money is due to be paid by Sushovan Hussain, Autonomy's former chief financial officer, who was also sued by HPE. He was convicted in April 2018 in the US of wire fraud and other crimes related to Autonomy's sale, and was sentenced to five years in prison. While he has since settled HPE's claim, he could still be required to pay damages. A further hearing to deal with matters including interest, currency conversion and whether Mr Lynch's estate can appeal against the decision is set to be held in November. Handing down his ruling, Mr Justice Hildyard expressed his 'great sympathy' for Mr Lynch's family, calling his death a 'tragedy'. He said: 'It is a source of anxiety to me that I have to deliver a judgment that will inevitably cause further stress on those involved.' In the 197-page ruling, he said he considered that HPE's claim 'was always substantially exaggerated' and that the five billion dollars figure claimed 'was not based on detailed analysis'. Following the ruling in 2022, Mr Lynch, who was also the founding investor of cybersecurity giant Darktrace, was extradited to the US in May 2023 to face criminal charges after his removal was approved by the then-Home Secretary Priti Patel. He was cleared of accusations that he orchestrated a fraud and conspiracy over Autonomy's sale in the US in June 2024, and was celebrating the acquittal on his yacht at the time of his death. In a statement written before his death, issued posthumously by his representatives on Tuesday, Mr Lynch said: 'Today's High Court ruling reflects that HP's original five billion dollar damages claim was not just a wild overstatement – misleading shareholders – but it was off the mark by 80%. 'HP acquired Autonomy for 11.6 billion dollars and today's judgment is a view that Autonomy's actual value was not even 10% below the price HP paid. 'This result exposes HP's failure and makes clear that the immense damage to Autonomy was down to HP's own errors and actions. 'An appeal process will be considered later this year. 'The English civil case included hearsay evidence from the US and we were never able to question or cross-examine those witnesses. 'This is in direct contrast to the rights of defendants in the US legal system. 'When in the US criminal trial we were able to cross-examine the relevant witnesses, a very different story emerged. Why is the English legal system so trusting?' A spokesperson for HPE said: 'We are pleased that this decision brings us a step closer to the resolution of this dispute. 'We look forward to the further hearing at which the final amount of HPE's damages will be determined.' Jeremy Sandelson, who was appointed by the court as administrator of Mr Lynch's estate, said he would be 'examining the judgment carefully', including whether to appeal both the 2022 ruling and the judgment on Tuesday.

Major update on bust IT firm after more than 100 Scots workers axed
Thompsons Solicitors are now representing more than 100 ex- Adarma staff who were booted out the door with no pay LEGAL WAR Major update on bust IT firm after more than 100 Scots workers axed Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A top law firm has launched a legal war on behalf of furious workers ditched without a penny by a collapsed Scots cyber security firm. Thompsons Solicitors Scotland are now representing more than 100 ex- Adarma staff who were booted out the door with no pay, after the Edinburgh-based company plunged into administration last week. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Adarma offered a wide range of security services, including thread detection, security operations, bespoke security and managed data analytics Credit: PA:Press Association Shell-shocked employees were initially told the firm was on the hunt for a new buyer — only to be left stunned just days later when bosses pulled the plug completely. The Scottish Sun understands 173 axed workers across Scotland and England were then told they would not be getting their monthly salary or any of the other cash they were owed. The firm employed 176 people from its Edinburgh and London hubs. Now Thompsons — who've fought and won for hundreds of Scots dumped in similar sudden collapses — have stepped in to take on some of their cases, and are vowing to secure compensation. The legal outfit has previously bagged payouts for staff at Fife's Tullis Russell paper mill, Glasgow's Watt Brothers department store and warehouse workers in Ayrshire infamously given just 15 minutes' notice by a firm owned by retail mogul Mike Ashley. Paul Kissen, the top legal eagle heading up Thompsons' Protective Award Unit, blasted Adarma for the way they treated their workers. He said: 'Yet again, loyal, hardworking employees have been led up the garden path by a company that knew it was in trouble, but told them nothing. They've been treated with utter contempt. 'These workers are entitled to compensation through a protective award — and I'll make damn sure they get it. "Even staff who were only there a short time can expect several weeks' pay.' One former employee, who asked not to be named, revealed the cloak-and-dagger tactics used in the run-up to the company's collapse. Edinburgh Cybersecurity Giant Adarma Collapses with 173 Jobs Lost He said: 'We were told management was looking for new owners, but we were under strict orders to keep clients in the dark and make sure they kept paying. 'Not long after, we were told the company was in administration - and we weren't getting paid. We were completely kept in the dark and then dumped without warning. 'As usual, it's the workers who suffer while the top brass walk away.' Adarma, once a rising star in Scotland's booming tech scene, is now the latest high-profile casualty in the volatile IT sector. Adarma offered a wide range of security services, including thread detection, security operations, bespoke security and managed data analytics.
