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.

Home Bargains has announced a special two-day closure of all UK stores
Emily Sergeant
Home Bargains has, once again, announced it’ll be closing all its UK stores on both Boxing Day and New Year’s Day this year.
And it’s to make sure staff get a ‘well deserved break’.
After what has been yet another busy year for the retail industry, many workers have been left feeling like they could do with a little extra time off, which is why Home Bargains is following on with what has become a now-annual tradition by shutting up shop on two bank holidays.
All of our stores will be closing for Boxing Day & New Years Day.
Announcing the move in a post on social media, the discount retailer confirmed: “All of our stores will be closing for Boxing Day and New Years Day. We would like to thank all our colleagues for how hard you have worked this past year, and want you to relax and enjoy the Christmas break with your loved ones.”
Of course, this isn’t the first time the retailer has kept its doors shut on bank holidays.
Many shoppers will recall it has made the same decision to give hardworking staff a break every year since 2019.
Explaining a little more about the decision taken to close all its stores, Home Bargains said: “As a family-run business, we know the importance of being together at Christmas with those we care about most, now more than ever.
“This is our way of saying thank you to our colleagues for their continued hard work and dedication.”

Two Greggs in Manchester will be serving their breakfast menu in the evening next week

Who says breakfast has to end at 11am?
In news that’s set to be music to the ears of breakfast lovers in Manchester, Greggs is giving them exactly what they want.
We all know that brunch is a ‘thing’ by now, so now it’s time for brinner to make a name for itself instead, as Greggs has teamed up with Heinz to bring its much-loved breakfast menu back for tea time, kicking off from 4pm onwards.
The move comes as a new survey has found that the majority of Mancs (69%) admit to enjoying eating breakfast food in the evening, saying it’s ‘convenient and comforting’ – even ranking breakfast as a ‘more important’ meal than tea, as well (38% vs 36%).

Greggs says it has ‘lost count’ of the amount of customers that have tried to order breakfast items after the usual cut-off time, especially in Greater Manchester.
But luckily for those breakfast-loving Mancs, they can finally get their favourite breakfast and sauce pairing long after the morning rush is over next… but only at two Greggs branches, and only for a very limited time.
On Wednesday 14 and Thursday 15 October, the Heinz x Greggs Brinner collab will be available at Greggs St Mary’s Gate and Greggs Oxford Road, from 4-7pm only.
“We’ve lost count of the number of customers who have tried their luck ordering breakfast after 11am, so when Heinz came to us with the idea of making Brinner a reality, it felt like the perfect excuse to give the people what they want,” explained Zoe Harris, who is the Customer Director at Greggs.
“And let’s be honest, a Greggs Bacon Roll just wouldn’t be the same without a squeeze of Heinz Tomato Ketchup.”
