B&M shoppers divided over new £1.25 chocolate snack

B&M shoppers have mixed opinions about the addition of a new range of snacks to the discount store's shelves.

The discount store regularly uses its Instagram page to keep shoppers up to date with the new product lines available in store. This time, it was a new Easter chocolate that caused a stir among fans online.

Despite it still being the 'Chrimbo Limbo' period, many shops are already stocking the shelves with Easter chocolate. B&M shared a picture of a new Milky Bar Mini Eggs bar to its Instagram page, dividing opinions among shoppers - with some arguing that it's too early to be stocking Easter products.

Sharing the post with its 1.4 million followers, B&M wrote: "Grab this tasty Milky Bar Mini Eggs bar in stores now for just £1.25. It's NEVER too early for Mini Eggs...am I right?!

"Thanks to @new.foodfindsuk for snapping this! TAG someone who NEEDS to see this." The post quickly amassed over 2,500 likes, with many shoppers taking to the comments section to share their thoughts.

Many people were keen to try the Easter treat. One said: "I need this!" Someone else commented: "I demolished mine, ate mine on the 23rd while wrapping last bits. Helped me through the pain." Another fan said: "Omg love them."

However, some people weren't too pleased to see Easter chocolate already on the shelves, arguing that it's too early. One Instagram user said: "Woah woah woah...calm down! Our Christmas trees are still up! (Though this does look good!)"

Another person added: "It's far too early." Someone else commented: "It's still Christmas!" The Milky Bar Mini Eggs bar is available to purchase in B&M stores now. To find your nearest B&M store, click here.
