Cadbury fans are only just realising that one popular Dairy Milk product has been discontinued.

One chocolate lover took to the Facebook group "Food Finds UK" to ask if you could still get Cadbury's Dairy Milk Marvellous Mix Ups with Oreas and where you could grab a bag as they "loved them". The marvellously mix-up bag featured a mixture of Cadbury Dairy Milk Pebbles, Cadbury White Buttons, Cadbury Dairy Milk Giant Buttons and mini Oreos

The product was first launched in April 2014 alongside a Marvlous Mix up with Maynards - as part of Cadbury's Marvellous Creations ranges which also included chocolate bars with popping candy, cola pretzels and Banana caramel crisps.

Sadly, the Facebook user did not receive good news, as commenters informed them that the product had been discontinued by Cadbury several years ago. One user said: "Discontinued about a year after they were launched. These were soooooooo nice wish they still did them."

Another added: "They got rid of those years ago. But it would be nice if they did a chocolate bar version." A third person commented: "I loved these!! Cadbury were B*TCHES for discontinuing these beauties." Another commenter said they should "start a campaign" for Cadbury's to bring them back.

The initial poster responded to comments thanking them for their input noting that they "had a feeling" the mix up bags had been discontinued adding: "They were my favourites to get I'm gutted."

A Cadbury spokesperson confirmed to the Sun the chocolates had been discontinued "several" years ago adding: "We continuously adapt our product range to ensure it meets changing tastes whilst supporting growth for our customers and our business."

This is not the first time Cadbury fans were left disappointed after their favourite product was discontinued. Last year, Cadbury axed its Peanut Caramel Crisp and its 30% less sugar Dary Milk bar. The Peanut Caramel Crisp was first introduced back in 2017 and the lower calorie option first hit shelves back in 2019. Cadbury - alongside other chocolate creators - often discontinues products due to sales figures and often they do not make a return. This leaves fans forced to reminisce about their favourite sweet treats on social media in the hope that they can persuade manufacturers to bring back the product.
