The British chocolate giant will be selling the fruit-infused sweet treat in British supermarkets from this week, with some savvy shoppers saying they’ve already spotted them in stores.
The bars, which will cost £2.49 for 180g, will have the same melt-in-your-mouth taste as a standard Dairy Milk bar with the added smooth zest of orange.

While some were very excited, others were unsure for the need for another chocolate orange treat.
‘More orange? I just want some banana,’ said one.
‘I’m so done with orange, I just want some exciting new flavours,’ added another.
‘This will be nice to be fair, I just wish they had some originality,’ commented a third.
It comes as Cadbury changed it’s packaging to add quotes from surprising stories told by older people on its packaging in a campaign with Age UK.
The true stories, first shared in October 2020 through the brand’s The Originals advert, are from older people from all walks of life with surprising and inspiring experiences to share.
The stories help to remind the British public that a conversation with an older relative or neighbour could be just as rewarding and entertaining for you, as it could be for them.
Pippa Rodgers Brand Manager at Mondelez, told FEMAIL: “We’re proud to continue our long-term partnership with Age UK. To be featuring the Donate your words campaign across 10 million Cadbury Dairy Milk bars is both exciting and fitting, as we look for more impactful ways to support this important mission.
