Man tries new Cadbury colour-changing Dairy Milk bar and has complaints
Cadbury unveiled a new range of limited edition Dairy Milk chocolate bars this month for summer that have a surprise when they are chilled in the fridge and a food reviewer has shared his thoughts Chocoholics are in for a treat as Cadbury unveils its fresh, limited-edition bars perfect for summer – the Summer Edition and Iced Latte flavour Dairy Milk chocolate bars, complete with special packaging that transforms to reveal exclusive designs when chilled. Decked out in classic summer imagery featuring deck chairs and kites, the purple wrappers of these bars use thermochromic technology. The Birmingham -based confectionery giant has confirmed that once stored in the fridge, this tech comes alive, showcasing a deep blue hue along with a unique design. TikTok food critic Ishan took to the platform with his review of the novel Cadbury offering, exclaiming: "Cadbury have released new colour-changing chocolate so let's see if it actually changes colour and if it's worth the hype." Delving into the unveiling mystery, he continued: "So this is the new Cadbury chill to reveal chocolate bars that they're doing for summer and apparently you put this whole bar into the fridge and it changes colour." "Now, I'm not going to lie I have been reading the comments and apparently the packaging changes colour and not the actual chocolate like I presumed so sorry on my front." With his curiosity piqued, Ishan confessed he was "intrigued" about if the packaging would really change colour. He put it in the fridge for a few hours. When he checked out his refrigerated chocolate bar, he was somewhat let down because it "looked the same" to him but eagle-eyed TikTok viewers in his comment section noticed that the swan emblem on the wrapper had shifted from white to blue. Ishan proceeded to unwrap the iconic Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate. He sampled it and noted: "The chocolate is so good though." Returning the chocolate to the fridge, he watched the swan change to a full shade of blue, although he mentioned that due to the heat that day, it was "turning back to white." His TikTok clip has racked up a staggering 2.6 million views, 98,200 likes, and more than 900 comments. A baffled user said: "Sorry but why would we care about the wrapper...I want colour changing chocolate." Another observed: "The swan changed." A third confessed their confusion: "I thought the chocolate changed colour." One sharp viewer highlighted: "It explains on the back of the packaging that only the swan changes from white to blue." Cadbury Dairy Milk's junior brand manager Mara Popa said: "This summer, Cadbury Dairy Milk is reigniting the debate around storing chocolate in the fridge." "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. "This NPD also features colour changing packaging, highlighting the chilled chocolate trend in a playful way and tapping into the debate."

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.

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.

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.

Read on to find out where you can get your hands on the latest flavour CHOC SHOCK Shoppers spot brand-new Cadbury Dairy Milk flavour on shelves for first time Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SHOPPERS have spotted a brand-new flavour of Cadbury's Dairy Milk on store shelves for the first time. The Sun recently revealed that the chocolatier was launching a new Dairy Milk Iced Latte bar this summer; however, the exact date it was set to hit shelves was unknown. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Cadbury Dairy Milk Iced Latte chocolate bar Credit: Facebook / Newfoodsuk Shoppers have started spotting the new flavour at various retailers this week, excitedly sharing photos of the bar online. One shopper found the new Dairy Milk in B&M, posting a picture of it in the Newfoodsuk Facebook group. Thousands of excited Dairy Milk fans replied to the post tagging their friends, with many saying they "can't wait" to try the new edition. Another user called on brands to release "more coffee flavoured stuff". Another said: "Is this the same as the iced latte twirls they did a while ago? if so they were divine!" However, it's not a hit with all Dairy Milk fans, with one writing: "I love a coffee, I love chocolate, I love cadburys but I HATE coffee flavoured chocolate." As well as B&M, the new snack has also been spotted by shoppers in Sainsbury's. Some local stores, such as Nisa Local in Faversham and Premier in Tayport, have also posted to social media that they're stocking limited amounts of the product. Cadbury said its new special chocolate bar blends its classic Dairy Milk chocolate with a creamy coffee filling and crunchy biscuit pieces. It's available for £2 per bar, although this may vary depending on the retailer. Cadbury launches brand new Twirl chocolate bar – and fans are going wild for it The chocolate brand is also introducing four limited-edition Dairy Milk Summer Edition bars, complete with unique packaging designed for the 53% of Brits who, according to the brand's survey, enjoy their chocolate chilled. This packaging changes its appearance when cooled, thanks to special thermochromic technology, revealing bright, summery designs. Mara Popa, from Cadbury's parent company Mondelez, said: "We know that over half the nation is already chilling their chocolate, and we're ready to truly embrace this debate! "With our limited-edition Cadbury Dairy Milk Summer Edition Bars and innovative colour-changing packaging, we're celebrating the fun and unique ways people enjoy their chocolate. "This special pack design highlights the chilled chocolate trend in a playful way – so whether you are team fridge or team cupboard, the choice is yours!" Cadbury also recently delighted fans by launching a limited-edition Twirl White Dipped bar, which hit shelves on June 2. The brand described the flavour as "unreal, indulgent, smooth, swirly, creamy, melty, new, and mouthwatering". Meanwhile, Cadbury recently reduced the size of its Dairy Milk Little Bars multipacks by a third. New packs of four are being sold for £1.40 - even though packs of six cost the same last month. The change infuriated shoppers, with one writing on the Tesco website: 'Advertised as new, only thing new is you get 4 instead of 6!! For the same price. Disgusting!' A second said: 'Stop reducing how much is in the packet and charging the same price!!!' 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.
