It’s an absolute cult-classic Down Under, but it’s never been widely available on UK supermarket shelves until now.
After years of tempting the taste buds of Brits who’ve made the trip to Oz, Cadbury announced last week that one of its most popular chocolate bars of all time would be available to buy from shops on this side of the pond for the first time ever.
The iconic British chocolate brand is finally bringing Cadbury Caramilk to the UK.
Many gifting websites and high street stores like B&M have previously been known to import the bars from Australia, but this is the first time a UK-made bar will be available.
The beloved Australian chocolate bar will join Cadbury’s extensive range of treats in supermarkets nationwide and is made with a uniquely-crafted blend of caramelised white chocolate that’s combined with golden caramel chocolate to create a smooth and silky texture.

Chocolate lovers were initially told that they would be able to get their hands on the new bar by the end of this month.
But many have already spotted it on supermarket shelves.
A shopper over at the ever-popular Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group on Facebook noticed that the 190g bars of the exclusive chocolate bar were stocked on the shelves at their local Tesco branch and so decided to share the news with the over 1.7 million members of the money-saving community.
As you can probably imagine, it really went down a treat and got a lot of people talking after amassing thousands of interactions and comments.
Although pricing is likely to differ from store to store, these 190g bars were priced at £1.50 each.

Speaking on the launch of Cadbury Caramilk, Beatrice Berutti – Brand Manager at Mondelez – said: “We’re excited to announce that Cadbury is launching its Cadbury Caramilk bar in the UK this summer.
“After we heard Aussie fans’ reaction and their love for the Caramilk bar, we knew we had to add this popular classic to our range in a new and improved format [so] I’d encourage everyone to keep their eyes peeled for the bars hitting the shelves.
“If it’s anything like Australia, the bars will be loved by everyone.”
It’s expected that Cadbury Caramilk will be sold at a number of major supermarket retailers, but if you want to try your luck at your nearest Tesco for now, you can check the opening times for your local branch here.

Three tiny ‘chaos potatoes’ have been born at Chester Zoo and they’re so cute

Three tiny ‘chaos potatoes’ have been born at Chester Zoo… and they’re really flipping cute.
Born to parents Maris and Albert in late summer, the three rock hyrax pups – only affectionately known as ‘chaos potatoes’ – have just passed their first vet check with a clean bill of health, and now weigh roughly 350g.
Hyraxes are found across sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East, where they live among rocky landscapes and are most active in daylight.
The litter includes two boys and one girl, and keepers at Chester Zoo have decided to give them potato-themed names – Russ, Spud, and Jackie.

Currently, the three pups are a fraction of the size of the adults, which can weigh up to 4kg, but despite their small stature, they have an unlikely relative.
Believe it or not, rock hyraxes are actually a part of the same evolutionary group as elephants, as well as sirenians, which are the family of aquatic mammals that includes dugongs and manatees.
“Hyraxes are one of those species that you have to look for, but once you’ve seen them, they are fascinating to watch,” explained Megan Carpenter, who is a Keeper at Chester Zoo.
“The pups are little chaos potatoes. They are much more energetic than their parents and sometimes get the zoomies, darting about and testing their climbing and parkour skills.
“In contrast, the adults often wedge themselves into corners and grip on to steep rock faces for hours at a time. They’re incredibly well adapted to living among rocks and are much better climbers than you might expect.”
