Shoppers across the UK are in for a sweet treat this festive season as bargain retailer B&M has brought back a highly sought-after chocolate bar. The Mars Raspberry Smash, a flavour typically exclusive to Australia, has made a surprise return to British shelves.
A Sweet Discovery for Savvy Shoppers
The exciting find was first reported by a sharp-eyed customer on November 23, who spotted the 12-piece fun size bags in their local B&M store. This prompted a wave of excitement on social media, with many customers rushing to secure the chocolates before they potentially vanish again.
The Mars Raspberry Smash offers a twist on the classic Mars bar, featuring a raspberry-flavoured nougat centre instead of the traditional filling. This unique confectionery creation has built a cult following since it was first introduced as a limited edition in Australia around July 2021.
Customer Reactions and Verdict
Reactions on platforms like the NewfoodsUK Facebook group have been overwhelmingly positive. One delighted shopper declared the bars were "unreal", while another simply stated, "I love these. So nice." A third comment read, "These look niceeee," capturing the general anticipation.
However, not all reviews were entirely glowing. One sceptical customer suggested the bar would be similar to being "ruffled with caramel," while another who had tried the full-size version remarked they were "nothing great." Despite these few reservations, the overall response has been one of excitement and approval.
Stock Up Before They Disappear
Shoppers can currently pick up a bag of 12 fun-size Mars Raspberry Smash bars for £2.99. This isn't the first time the Australian import has appeared in the UK; it was initially spotted on British shelves back in April 2022 after disappearing Down Under.
Its return to B&M has proven to be a hit, offering Brits a chance to enjoy an exotic chocolate experience without leaving the country. With its limited edition status, customers are advised to act quickly if they want to add this 'unreal' treat to their Christmas celebrations.
