‘Need to get them!’, movie lovers raving over new M&M’s chocolate popcorn snack on shelves of major supermarket
Date: 2024-10-21SWEET lovers are raving over new M&M’s chocolate popcorn snacks which are being sold at a major supermarket.
A picture of the Candy Pop Popcorn M&M Minis was posted in the Food Finds UK Facebook group, which has nearly 500,000 members.
One user asked where they were from.
Another user said: “Seen these in [Iceland’s] Food Warehouse yesterday.”
Another group participant Said she got the “Twix one” at B&M.
While another said: “I need to get these!”
We had a look online and couldn’t find the snack listed on Iceland’s website.
It’s best to phone ahead to double check what your local has in stock and to double check price.
But we did find online convenience store HJodies lists the 5.25oz bags for £5.99.
The retailer describes the Candy Pop Popcorn M&M Minis as “the perfect snack for any occasion”.
The product description reads: “This delicious treat is made with fresh, fluffy popcorn with pieces of M&M’s.
“This creates a delightful combination of crunchy and chewy textures.
“Open a bag of Candy Pop Popcorn M&M Minis, and smell the aroma of fresh popcorn and sweet candy.
“The crunchy texture of the popcorn and the chewy texture of the M&Ms create a satisfying mouthfeel that will leave you craving more.
“The flavours of the candy glaze and the mini M&Ms perfectly complement the buttery taste of the popcorn.”
It comes after B&M shoppers went wild after spotting a rare Cadbury chocolate bar with a twist on shelves.
Fans were left devastated when the chocolate giant discontinued Dream bars 20 years ago.
But discount chain B&M started selling a new version of the treat, also made by Cadbury, the Sun reported earlier this week.
It combined both Dream and Marvellous Creations to create a raspberry-flavoured white chocolate bar.
Posting on the Newfoodsuk Facebook page, admins shared a whole selection of new chocolates found in the store.
They said: “Loads of new bars of chocolate spotted at B&M Stores.”
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.
