Cadbury brings back 'extinct' chocolate bar as shoppers rush to stock up

Cadbury is bringing back an "extinct" chocolate bar which will return to B&M shelves as shoppers rush to "buy them all". B&M shoppers have gone wild for the chocolatey treat which is appearing in stores as we head towards Christmas and the winter.

A Facebook user posted a picture of the Fuse Mini Treats to a Newfoodsuk Facebook group, with 539 reactions and over 70 shares. One social media typed in reply to the snap of the item: "If you see these buy all of them."

Others pointed out that the Mini Fuse Treats hailed the return of a cult classic - the Fuse bar. And a second wrote: "I thought fuse chocolate was extinct, seems like it still exists." Another said: "If these are like the old FUSE bars I NEED these!"

And another wrote: "Used to have these in full size bars years ago. Delish." Fuse is described as "crunchy peanuts, gooey caramel, and a creamy, truffle like centre all coated in smooth Cadbury milk chocolate. A perfect fusion of the best sweet ingredients."

Fuse is a brand of chocolate bar manufactured by Cadbury in India since 2016. A different bar of the same name was produced in the United Kingdom between 1996 and 2006. Full of raisins, peanuts and fudge pieces, Fuse was like a picnic bar, but better. Cadbury launched Fuse in 1996 with 40 million bars sold in its first week.

Fuse bars were a little bit different; instead of having a chocolate coating on the outside, the ingredients were suspended right the way through it. Sadly, it was discontinued in 2006 when sales dropped, but remains fondly remembered to this day.

Other bars which have been scrapped by Cadbury over the years include the likes of the iconic Spira, as well as the Dream and also Drifter too.
