B&M SHOPPERS have gone wild for rare snickers bar spotted on UK shelves.
Customers were shocked to see almond flavoured versions of the classic chocolate stocked on the shelves of the bargain store.
The treat was launched in the USA almost six years ago and contained almond pieces alongside peanuts, nougat, caramel, and milk chocolate.
But it is not typically sold in the UK, making it an unusual find.
On the NewFoodsUK Facebook page, a moderator shared the find with others.
Shoppers were quick to chime in and share their excitement.
One lover of the nutty sweet said: “Ooh, about time these came to the UK.”
While another added: “I need to try this”.
But one shopper was clearly not a fan and said the chocolate “tasted awful”.
It comes just days after shoppers spotted another rare snickers flavour on the aisles of the bargain store.
B&M is also selling a brownie version of the chocolate bar, which is also a hit in the USA.
B&M does not have an online store, so if you are keen to shop the product, you will have to make an in-person visit.
You can find your nearest B&M by visiting the website and using the store finder tool.
You can also buy the chocolate online from a website called Sugar Rush Neath for £1.99 but you will have to factor in the £2.42 delivery costs.
It’s not the only rare chocolate spotted at B&M in recent weeks.
Customers were shocked to see honeycomb Maltesers at the popular store.
Unlike classic Maltesers, which have a malted centre, the honeycomb version features a sweeter, golden crunch wrapped in milk chocolate.
B&M is well-known for importing rare chocolate flavours, especially from Australia, that you don’t usually find in UK supermarkets.
The honeycomb flavour has been available in select markets overseas, but this is one of the first times it has landed in UK stores.
Fans also went crazy when they spotted a limited edition Lotus Milky bar- which combines Lotus biscuits and white Milky bar in one chocolate.
How to save money at B&M
The B&M scanner app is free to download onto your smartphone via the Apple App Store or Google Play and flags potential bargains.
Once downloaded, use the camera on your phone to scan product barcodes around the store.
The app then tells you the true price of that product, which is sometimes much lower than the price tag says it is.
One shopper used the app to get a £10 long hot water bottle for just 10p.
The best time to get cut-price products is 10am on a Wednesday, according to one ex B&M manager.
This is when staff slash items to as little as 10p to clear excess stock and make way for new products.
Deals expert Tom Church said to keep an eye out for red sticker products as well.
These are added to special-buy products that have been reduced in price.
It’s worth signing up to Facebook pages dedicated to hunting for bargains from B&M and other discounters too.
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.
