Cadbury lovers are only just realising ‘best chocolate bar ever made’ is DISCONTINUED days before Christmas
See the list below of the range of other Cadbury chocolates that have been axed in recent years
CADBURY lovers are only now realising just days before Christmas that the “best chocolate bar ever made” has been discontinued.
One confused shopper took to social media platform X, saying they were “struggling” to find the sweet treat.
The user tagged Cadbury in the post and asked: “Have you discontinued the Cadbury big taste bar?
“Been trying to find it for my partner for Christmas and struggling.”
Cadbury’s Big Taste bars were fan favourites before they were suddenly axed by the chocolate maker.
Flavours included Oreo Crunch, Toffee Whole Nut, and Triple Choc Sensation which layered milk, white, and dark chocolate on top of each other.
Last year, lovers of the Peanut Caramel Crisp flavour of the bars were saddened to learn of the chocolate’s axing.
Baffled customer Amy had asked Cadbury whether it still made the incredibly popular sweet treat.
A spokesperson responded: “Peanut Caramel Crisp Bars have been discontinued.
“However, we still have lots of other chocolatey treats to try.”
Amy replied: “Aw no.
“That sucks, it’s our favourite.”
Another fuming fan said: “Cadbury’s Peanut Caramel Crisp is the best chocolate bar they have created in years.
“Kind of like Dairy Milk meets Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.”
Cadbury launched the Dairy Milk Big Taste Peanut Caramel Crisp in April 2017.
A crispy peanut filling was topped with gooey caramel and enrobed in thick Dairy Milk chocolate.
The bar sold for £3.49 at all major supermarkets before Cadbury axed it.
Cadbury, and other chocolate manufacturers, often remove old flavours to make space for new ones.
Other Cadbury chocolates that have been discontinued in recent years
Dairy Milk Winter Orange Crisp
The popular festive treat was made of smooth chocolate enhanced with tangy orange crisps.
Shoppers previously labelled it “delicious” and “my favourite chocolate ever”.
It was released as the same time as the Dairy Milk winter mint crisp bar, which has also proved to be a hit with shoppers.
But in November, the manufacturer announced the bar has been withdrawn from shops to make way for more flavours.
Dairy Milk Orange
Earlier this year, the chocolate maker confirmed the bar was discontinued.
The 180g snack was launched in 2021 following a surge in popularity for chocolate orange products.
This included Cadbury’s orange Twirl in 2019, and Buttons and Fingers in 2020, as well as Tesco‘s chocolate orange bourbons.
Dairy Milk Toffee Popcorn
Fans were left heartbroken in March after the firm revealed there are “no plans” to bring back the fan-favourite snack.
The bar was first released in 2012 but had been tough to find for fans ever since.
It was first introduced as part of the firm’s “Marvellous Creations” drive, which at the time was described as the most significant innovation for Cadbury Dairy Milk.
A Mondelez International spokesperson confirmed the 150g bars were discontinued “several years ago”.
Dairy Milk Marvellous Mix-ups with Oreo
Shoppers were shocked in January after noticing Dairy Milk Marvellous Mix-ups with Oreo had been axed from shelves.
The sweet snacks came in bitesize portions, combining classic Cadbury chocolate with iconic Oreo pieces.
A Cadbury spokesperson confirmed the chocolates were discontinued “several” years ago, but did not say exactly when.
Nostalgic shoppers described the sweets as “amazing” and that they were “obsessed” with them.
Dairy Milk 30% Less Sugar
Last year, the choc giant confirmed it had ditched its Dairy Milk 30 per cent less sugar bar just four years after its launch.
The lower calorie option, which first hit shelves back in 2019, was culled as “demand for this product has dropped”, Cadbury confirmed.
Mondelez – formerly Kraft – which bought Cadbury back in 2010 – launched the 85g share bar as a slightly healthier alternative to the iconic Dairy Milk.
One choc fan said: “I’m devastated they’ve pulled this option from shelves, it just seems like another decision to cut costs at the expense of quality or diverse choices.”
