Shoppers have spotted a new chocolate find that resembles Cadbury's Tasters
The new chocolate is called Cadbury Dairy Milk Balls and supposedly resembles the discontinued Cadbury Tasters.
Tasters first hit stores in 1996 as small, round Dairy Milk chocolates, it resembled a Malteser but without the crunchy centre.
Despite their rich flavour, they were quietly axed in the mid-2000s due to slow sales. But clearly, fans never forgot.
One user wrote: 'Used to always buy these out the vending machine at school'.
Another added: 'They used to be called Cadbury Tasters, I've missed these so much".
While a third chimed in: "I can't believe it, I love these so much."
One fan pointed out clues on the packaging that suggest they could be Australian imports from the layout of the Dairy Milk logo to the 'milk chocolate' tagline and weight label in the top corner.
If that's true, it would make them an even rarer find, especially for Brits who've missed the much-loved Tasters since they vanished from shelves.
Shoppers were already sharing their plans to bag these goodies, writing: "I'm heading there straight away, I need these."
One shopper said: 'I absolutely loved them. Will have to pop into my local Iceland and see if they have them.'
You asked, we delivered' says Irish supermarket as viral chocolate lands in stores but 'they won't last'
The new milk chocolate balls are not listed on Iceland's website, meaning they're currently only available in-store.
Shoppers can check their local branch or even call ahead to see if stock is available, as demand is likely to be high.
The Sun has contacted Iceland to confirm the chocolate's price.
Top discontinued products
Here are our top discontinued snacks - including picks from our team...
Fabulous Bakin' Boys Cupcakes
Consumer reporter Emily Mee says: "It was always a good day when I spotted these in my lunch box at school. Putting a layer of chocolate on top of a vanilla cupcake is a simple idea but a genius one. I would pay good money to try these again..."
Ready Salted Chipsticks
Head of Consumer Tara Evans says: "Ready Salted Chipsticks. Why did they get rid of this classic flavour? Some people think ready salted is boring - but why mess with a classic? I often feel taunted when I see the salt and vinegar version in shops."
Coco Pops Rocks
Consumer news editor Ellie Smitherman says: "No idea whose bright idea it was to get rid of these, but it was possibly one of the worst moves in cereal history. "
Tooti Frooties
Senior consumer reporter James Flanders says: "Tooty Frooties were a chewy blast of childhood joy. Scrapped after 50 years, they were Britain's alternative to Skittles - and in an age obsessed with nostalgia, bringing them back just makes sense. Lots of dupes can be picked up at budget supermarkets but they just don't taste the same."
White Maltesers
While the milk chocolate version is still going strong, White Chocolate Maltesers were pulled from shelves in 2014. Mars said it was a "difficult decision" at the time, and fans still post comments on its social media pages calling for it to come back.
Heinz Toast Toppers
Out of all the discontinued products, this is one of the ones we see the most calls for to come back. The creamy cans came in a variety of flavours like chicken and mushroom or cheese and ham. They were binned in 2015 after delighting shoppers for decades.
Cadbury Spira
Another of the regular calls we see is for the Cadbury Spira to return. The chocolate featured twin bars in each pack which were formed into a spiral shape, with six hollow tubes running through each one.
Making a comeback
The surprise comeback follows a growing trend of supermarkets and snack giants reviving nostalgic favourites.
Earlier this year, B&M sent choc-lovers wild after stocking rare Cadbury Cola Fizz Marvellous Creations bars, another Aussie import not sold elsewhere in the UK.
And it's not just Cadbury jumping on the nostalgia train.
B&M shoppers recently spotted one of the most iconic breakfast treats of the 2000s after 15 long years.
The Kellogs Cocoa Krispies Straws made a surprise return to the bargain retailer's shelves, and nostalgic Brits were rushing to snap them up.
Mars made headlines after Crispy Rolls returned for a limited time then quietly snuck into Morrisons meal deals, following a wave of public demand and over 8,000 signatures on a petition.
'That's the most demand for a product I've seen in a while,' said Mars chocolate scientist Lizzy.
Walkers also brought back Worcester Sauce crisps in a spicy comeback with Lea & Perrins after furious fans made their feelings known online.
Turns out, brands are listening. Both Mars and Walkers confirmed they have teams trawling through social media, keeping tabs on what treats people are craving.
Walkers alone say they've had over 60 different flavour requests in just two years.
So, while Cadbury Dairy Milk Balls might be new, or newly returned, they could be the latest win for snack nostalgia.
And if they really are a Taster by another name, fans will be hoping this time, they're here to stay.

"Unfortunately the building is now about to be demolished, my heart is broken. "I was to first of all say how sorry I am to anyone who has lost even a single item in that fire. I can't imagine how those who have things that can't be replaced feel. I'm so sorry. "I posted my last reel as an appeal to help us all get back to work as soon as possible, without us working we can't buy stock, without stock we can't work. It's the hardest situation for so many of us to be in. With our whole place of work and tools gone and families to feed and bills to pay." She then told how there had been a glimmer of happiness in the dire situation and said: "I aimed to raise 10k not thinking for a second we would bet this support! But here we are passing 10k! "There are 12 of us affected by this who work in the beauty industry and every penny will be evenly distributed to help us get back where we were."

Cadbury launches new limited edition colour-changing Dairy Milk chocolate bars – and they're perfect for hot weather
Cadbury's new chocolate bars hide a cool surprise when the temperature drops CHOCCY TIME Cadbury launches new limited edition colour-changing Dairy Milk chocolate bars – and they're perfect for hot weather CADBURY has unveiled a brand new range of limited-edition Dairy Milk chocolate bars that change colour when chilled – and they're ideal for summer snacking. The new Cadbury Dairy Milk Summer Edition bars and the Iced Latte flavour are hitting shelves across the UK from June 2025, wrapped in cold-activated packaging that transforms in the fridge. Advertisement 3 According to Cadbury's research, more than half the nation stores their bars in the fridge, especially during the warmer months Credit: Alamy 3 Chocoholics can expect a limited run, so fans might want to snap them up quickly once they appear in shops Credit: Alamy Based in Birmingham, the chocolate giant confirmed that the special packs use thermochromic technology to reveal vibrant designs – including deck chairs, umbrellas, kites, and inflatables – when cooled. It's the first time Cadbury has launched a product like this. 'This summer, Cadbury Dairy Milk is reigniting the debate around storing chocolate in the fridge,' said Mara Popa, junior brand manager at Cadbury Dairy Milk. 'Our new Cadbury Dairy Milk Summer Editions range features cold-activated packs, reminding consumers that chocolate is a great snacking option in the warmer weather. 'Additionally, our limited-edition Cadbury Dairy Milk Iced Latte tablet is designed to excite consumers with a brand new flavour crafted for summer. Advertisement This NPD also features colour changing packaging, highlighting the chilled chocolate trend in a playful way and tapping into the debate.' The cold-reactive wrappers aren't just eye-catching – they're a clever nod to how Brits really eat chocolate. According to Cadbury's research, more than half the nation stores their bars in the fridge, especially during the warmer months. Despite this trend, the brand has advised fans to think twice before chilling their choc. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), a spokesperson warned that the fridge might not always be the best place. Advertisement 'Chocolate should always be stored in a slightly cool, dry, dark place such as a cupboard or pantry at temperatures less than 21°C to ensure the quality isn't compromised,' they explained. Still, curiosity is high. Shoppers beg Cadbury's to bring back 2005 recipe on iconic bar - as they moan current one 'tastes like candle wax' A whopping 67 per cent of Brits said they're open to trying chilled chocolate, and Cadbury is leaning into that interest with a playful summer twist. All five bars in the Edition range will be available in major retailers nationwide and have a recommended price of £2. Advertisement However, prices may vary depending on the store. Chocoholics can expect a limited run, so fans might want to snap them up quickly once they appear in shops. The packaging not only changes colour, but also ties in with the look and feel of a traditional British summer – perfect for picnics, beach days, or just a cool treat at home. The launch of the iced latte-flavoured Dairy Milk also adds to Cadbury's growing line-up of coffee-infused treats. Advertisement The bar combines smooth milk chocolate with a creamy coffee centre and crunchy biscuit bits, designed to satisfy both choc and coffee lovers. Cadbury has already seen success with coffee-flavoured chocolate. The Twirl Iced Latte has popped up in B&M stores in recent weeks, earning rave reviews from fans. Meanwhile, a collab with coffee brand Kenco gave us the chocolate-flavoured mocha – another hit among sweet-toothed sippers. Advertisement And it's not stopping there. From 2 June, the brand will also roll out a limited-edition Twirl White Dipped bar, combining its famous flaky layers with a coating of smooth white chocolate. A post on Facebook teased the launch, calling it 'unreal, indulgent, smooth, swirly, creamy, melty, new, and mouthwatering.' Earlier this month, fans also spotted a new Cadbury Dairy Milk Balls pack in shops, drawing comparisons to the nostalgic Cadbury Tasters – small, round chocolate treats first launched in 1996. Advertisement With so many launches lined up and a summer full of colourful, cold-friendly packaging, Cadbury is clearly out to make this season a choc-filled celebration. 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 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.
