Cadbury discontinues chocolate in decision fans say has 'ruined Christmas'

Cadbury has confirmed its has discontinued a popular festive chocolate from its range just months out from Christmas 2024.

The confectionery company is responsible for a range of popular chocolates including Freddos, Boost, Crunchie, Creme Eggs and the classic Dairy Milk.

Several chocolates have been axed by Cadbury recently.

In November (2023), Cadbury confirmed it had discontinued its peanut caramel crisp chocolate bar after just five years on UK shelves.

In the lead-up to Easter this year the company revealed Mini Eggs chocolate cartons "will not be returning", a decision it said was based on the "changing tastebuds" of Cadbury fans.

While some Cadbury lovers also discovered for the first time in the lead-up to Easter 2024, that Dairy Milk Egg 'n' Spoons had also been discontinued (back in 2023).

Dairy Milk Orange and Mint Crisps chocolate bars have also been discontinued by Cadbury in 2024.
