SHOPPERS have been scrambling to taste a band new Cadbury chocolate bar as it hits store shelves.
The new tasty treat has caught the eye of many consumers – but Cadbury has said it won’t be around forever.
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.
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.
A PAIR of illegal immigrants targeted a coach on a school trip to France to get across the English Channel – after a surge in stowaway journeys.
The two of asylum seekers – one thought to be a child – climbed into the luggage compartment as the bus brought back 50 children from a day trip to Bolougne on Friday.
They remained hidden from Border Force officials at Dover and remained in the storage section of the coach until it stopped at Birchanger Green Welcome Break service station on the M11.
Year 7 pupils and teachers are said to have heard noises from the bottom of the coach, prompting the driver to pull over and stop.
Two illegal immigrants, including a child, are said to have emerged from the vehicle and remained at the service station until they were detained by police shortly before 10pm.
The students, from a small secondary school in Cambridgeshire, were taken inside the halt and told the coach had suffered an engine failure.
It took an hour for the children to be allowed back on the coach so the journey home could resume.
A parent of one of the children on board said: “The children were really tired because they had been up at 3am, and they were meant to get home at 10pm.
“Because of the hold-up to arrest the migrants, they didn’t get back until well after 11pm.
“It’s a total shock because they could have been any two people.
“Thankfully they did not try to do anything, but I feel uneasy knowing they were close to my child.”
An Essex Police spokeswoman confirmed: “We were alerted to concerns for the welfare of two people discovered under a bus on the M11 near Stansted on Friday evening.
“Officers were called out to a rest stop shortly before 10pm.
“One person has been taken into police custody, while one is being referred to social care.”
It comes after we revealed 13 migrants targeted a lorry delivering supplies to a Sainsbury’s distribution centre last week.
Figures show there were 5,874 detections of illegal immigrants at ports on the continent, including Calais, Dunkirk and the Channel Tunnel in Coquelles.
It is a rise of 22 per cent compared with 4,794 in 2023.
While migrants crossing the Channel are easily recorded, lorry stowaways may reach the UK undetected.
Many go on to obtain illegal cash-in-hand work or claim asylum and be housed in a hotel.
Last night the Home Office said it was investigating how the pair evaded border control.
A spokeswoman said: “We are relentless in our pursuit of people-smuggling gangs and stand ready to respond to all methods, including coaches and other clandestine routes, using a wide range of techniques and technology to protect our border security.”
ENGLAND boss Thomas Tuchel told Three Lions fans vile chants about PM Sir Keir Starmer were “not acceptable”.
Some of the 7,000 travelling supporters at yesterday’s World Cup qualifier against Andorra called Sir Keir a “c***” and “w***er”.
Tuchel praised the overall support in the 1-0 win against the tiny state, even though they booed his team at half-time.
He said after full-time in Spain: “Booing is OK.
“The support was amazing. Incredible.
“They created a fantastic atmosphere.
“They were underwhelmed with the way we performed.
“It’s not that we can blame them for that.
“I didn’t hear any abusive songs or chants.
“But if it happened, of course, it’s not acceptable.”
It’s thought that Declan Rice is being rested with a view to starting against Senegal on Tuesday evening instead.
Other unusual choices appear to include Reece James starting at left-back and Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones being deployed as a make-shift right-back.
