Shoppers go wild as new Rowntree’s chocolate bar that ‘tastes like Cadbury classic’ hits shelves
SHOPPERS are going wild as a new Rowntree's chocolate bar that "tastes like a Cadbury classic" hits the shelves.
A post on Facebook from a user who had bought the bar attracted nearly 150 comments and 200 likes.
The Rowntree Jellytastic Mini Egg Bar, which is 100g, appears to be on sale at corner shops priced at between £1.50 and £2.
The choc bar contains pieces of fruit flavoured jelly sweets. Rowntree also makes family favourite Fruit Pastilles
It has been compared to Cadbury's Marvellous Creations Jelly Popping Candy bar, which has a similar look.
One person : "Similar to Creation Cadburys Love it."

Another said: "This looks good."
A third said: "The marvellous creations Cadbury’s is still #1 for the jelly sweet n choc bar, but this looks like it could contend".
Not all reception was positive, however.
On the Instagram post, one user had commented: "Nope not even looking at it."
One person on Facebook described the bar as "very sickly" and did not recommend it to others.
Another commenter said: "Not sure about this."
In response to a comment saying "jelly tots in a bar!", a user said: "Ew no, not with chocolate."
The bar had been purchased from a Premier store, a chain that consists primarily of convenience shops owned by Tesco.
This comes after shoppers rushed to B&M to buy an ultra-rare Cadbury chocolate bar earlier this week.
