A Cadbury chocolate bar beloved in Australia has hit UK shelves. B&M is selling The Cadbury Cherry Ripe bar - to rave reviews from hungry UK customers.
The bar is not typically sold in the UK - but fans in the past have resorted to buying it online, at either specialist food sites and stores, or alternatively, Amazon. The bar is described by online retailer International Food UK as "The oldest and most popular chocolate bar in Australia that gives you the big cherry taste."
"Cadbury Cherry Ripe is the oldest and most popular chocolate bar in Australia that gives you ‘the big cherry taste’!" according to the description. "Ripe juicy cherries with moist coconut all covered in Cadbury's ‘Old Gold’ rich dark chocolate."

The bars are an Aussie favourite and have landed in B&M stores for £1. Discussing the arrival on Facebook, one person said: "I've tried it, it's fantastic! It's like a chewier Ruffle bar." A second social media user rushed to comment on the drop of the product, too, saying: "I loved these when living in Australia.

"Baffles me why the rest of the world doesn't love Cherry Ripes. First things I hunt for whenever I go home are a Cherry Ripe and a proper pie.

Amazing chocolate bars. Great shop for selling them!!" Jacqui said.
