The Twirl White Dipped was teased by the company last month in a Facebook video.
These bars are much like Cadbury’s popular Twirls – but are coated with white chocolate instead.
“OK but we’ve really outdone ourselves with this one,” they told shoppers.
They described the flavour as “unreal, indulgent, smooth, swirly, creamy, melty, new, and mouthwatering”.
But a few weeks on from its tantalising announcement, the chocolate bar has now been spotted in stores.
Its presence was flagged by the popular Facebook account Newfoodsuk.
The account posted: “Wow, these are outstanding – closest bar you’ll ever get to a Cadbury Snowflake!
“We spotted these at our local convenience store!”
The bars hit shelves on June 2, but are only set to be available for a limited time.
Katya Savelieva, Brand Manager for Twirl at Mondelez International, said: “Cadbury Twirl has always been a fan favourite, so it’s no surprise that limited editions like Cadbury Twirl Orange and Cadbury Twirl Mint had everyone talking.
“With smooth white chocolate surrounding our iconic milk chocolate swirls, the new Twirl White Dipped is an indulgence you won’t want to miss – grab it as soon as you can and experience Twirl like never before.”
Twirl bar were first released in Ireland in 1985, as a single finger bar.
They hit UK shelves two years later in its classic double finger form.
How to save money on chocolate
We all love a bit of chocolate from now and then, but you don’t have to break the bank buying your favourite bar.
Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how to cut costs…
Go own brand – if you’re not too fussed about flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you’ll save by going for the supermarket’s own brand bars.
Shop around – if you’ve spotted your favourite variety at the supermarket, make sure you check if it’s cheaper elsewhere.
Websites like Trolley.co.uk let you compare prices on products across all the major chains to see if you’re getting the best deal.
Look out for yellow stickers – supermarket staff put yellow, and sometimes orange and red, stickers on to products to show they’ve been reduced.
They usually do this if the product is coming to the end of its best-before date or the packaging is slightly damaged.
Buy bigger bars – most of the time, but not always, chocolate is cheaper per 100g the larger the bar.
So if you’ve got the appetite, and you were going to buy a hefty amount of chocolate anyway, you might as well go bigger.
