B&M shoppers have spotted a rare Nestle chocolate bar on shelves and they can’t get enough of it.
Choc lovers are flocking to their nearest store to get their hands on the packs of Milkybar KitKat.

The bar, usually only seen in Australia, first hit UK shelves at the back end of 2023, but some shoppers are only spotting it now.
One posted a photo of the 160g bar on the Food Finds UK Facebook page after finding it in their local store.
The post has notched up over 900 likes and more than 400 comments from shoppers, with plenty keen to give the choc a try.
One posted: “So good. I love white chocolate.”
Another commented: “I need it in my fridge right now.”
Meanwhile, a third added: “Omg I need to find.”
A fourth added: “Stop it right now.”
It’s not just bargain prices B&M is known for, but stocking rare and sought-after chocolates as well.
Shoppers spotted Cadbury Dairy Milk Peppermint on shelves last month – a chocolate typically only seen in Australia.
The bargain retailer also recently launched a range of Aussie-themed chocolates including Raspberry Cadbury Dream and Cola Fizz Cadbury Dairy Milk.
Choc lovers also couldn’t get enough of Milkybar Biscoff chocolate bars spotted on B&M shelves last month.
Customers found Aero Milky Bar in stores last month too, sending them into a meltdown.
It comes as B&M is set to shut 650 of its shops for one day only this Bank Holiday weekend.
The bargain retailer will close all its England, Wales and Northern Ireland stores on Easter Sunday.
How to save money on chocolate
We all love a bit of chocolate from now and then, but you don’t have to break the bank buying your favourite bar.
Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how to cut costs…
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.
SAVE MONEY AT B&M
One of the best ways to save money at B&M is by using the retailer’s Scanner App.
It is free to download onto your smartphone via the Apple App Store or Google Play.
Once downloaded, you can use the camera on your phone to scan product barcodes around stores.
The app then tells you the true price of that product, which is sometimes much lower than the price tag says it is.
One shopper used the app to get a £10 long hot water bottle for just 10p, while other customers have found a host of other 10p bargains.
Another quick way to cut costs is by visiting at the right time.
One ex-manager told The Sun this is around 10am on a Wednesday, when staff slash the price of items to as little as 10p to clear excess stock and make way for new products.
Deals expert Tom Church said to keep an eye out for red sticker products as well.
These are added to special buy products that have been reduced in price.
It’s worth signing up to Facebook pages dedicated to hunting for bargains from B&M and other discounters too.
