New M&S chocolate bar that tastes like classic Cadbury bar arrives on shelves
M&S is selling a new chocolate bar and shoppers have said it reminds them of a classic Cadbury treat.
Fans of the retailer have spotted the new chocolate bar on shelves.
The 180g treat costs £3.50 and features chocolate candy beans, orange jellies and popping candy.
But many are saying the sweet snack - with the lengthy title Chocolate Candy Beans, Orange Jellies & Popping Candy Milk Chocolate - reminds them of one Cadbury bar.
A post by NewUKFoods on Instagram said: "New M&S Chocolate Candy Beans, Orange Jellies & Popping Candy Milk Chocolate Bar!
"This is amaze, reminds us of a chocolate orange Marvellous Creations Bar."

Supermarkets regularly stock the original Cadbury Marvellous Creations bar which features, popping candy jellies and milk chocolate.
The similar bar is priced at around £2 or £2.50, depending on where you buy it, for a 160g bar.
That's slightly cheaper than the M&S bar, taking into account the different weights too, but M&S' version offers fans of the wacky chocolate an orange flavour in the mix.
"I would really really like this," wrote one user.
"I may have accidentally demolished a whole bar earlier," joked another fan of the sweet.
A third commented: "Need to get STAT!"
While a fourth tagged their pal said: "Thought this looked a bit like Cadbury's marvellous creations."
And a fifth posted: "Omg I have this I’m excited to try it xxx"
Another commented: "Sound right up my street."
Shoppers at M&S have spotted a range of new treats on the retailer's shelves in recent weeks.
Its new Big Daddy chocolate bar has proved a hit with customers and has gone viral on social media.
The Big Daddy, currently priced at £6.75, is a chunky oversized chocolate bar made with milk and dark chocolate.
It also has a layer of soft caramel with peanut butter and roasted peanut pieces.
The 300g M&S chocolate bar, which serves 10 people and has 537kcal per 100g, has become popular on social media.
In a video review shared on TikTok, Lia said it took her about 10 minutes to find the chocolate bar as it was on the bottom shelf.
The TikToker said: "It kind of just tastes like Snickers, it kind of is just like Snickers.
"Like if you chop this bar into lots of small pieces, that would be a mini Snickers bar."
Snickers bars have a similar amount of calories compared to The Big Daddy, with 516kcal per 100g of chocolate.
They're sold in a number of different formats including duo packs, small-size bars, and the standard 48g packaging.
The price of Snickers varies based on the retailer, but currently, it is 80p at Morrisons, 85p at Tesco, and 95p at Sainsbury's.
Elsewhere, M&S has also brought back its Reversy Percy jellies.
It's a twist on the original, swapping the gummy ears and foam faces around.
Despite being a beloved pick for many to satisfy their sweet tooth, M&S pulled it from the shelves 10 years ago.

But fans are buzzing to see the mouth-watering candy make a comeback.
"Immediately yes," hailed one on social media, while another urged their pals to "look out for these".
How to save money on chocolate
CONSUMER reporter Sam Walker explains how to save money on your next chocolate haul...
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.
