Cadbury fans gutted
The choc giant has 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, will no longer be available for purchase because “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.
And at the time they pledged the 30 per cent less sugar bar was “just as irresistibly smooth and creamy as our original Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate, but with 30 per cent less sugar and satisfaction in every single mouthful”.

The flavour was released to M&M fans for a limited time in a promotion contest alongside two other nut flavours – Coffee Nut and Honey Nut flavours.
However the product failed to win the vote and was ultimately discontinued.
"These were great, much better than the flavor that won," one person wrote on X, previously known as Twitter.
