    They've been replaced by Cadbury Freddo Popping Candy this year...

    And they're a complete rip-off! Most places seem to be selling them for about 60p or 2 for a pound!

    You can get 10 caramel Freddo's for a pound in B&M and they're the same size and weight.

    I love Cadbury but they're taking the mick with this one!

    The problem is, Freddo's don't last 5 mins in my home! I used to buy outers from Makro and they would be demolished so quickly.....

    Yes, they're lovely but only a mouthful or so.

    But they're okay for a treat which you're only paying 10 or 15p for.

    50 or 60p though? You're paying a LOT more just for a bit of stupid popping candy so Cadbury can shove it.

    If you really want a popping candy choc, better to wait until their 200g marvellous creations popping candy bar is on offer for a quid and stock up.

    Or stick with normal Freddo's and get a multipack (about 75p for 6 Freddo's in most stores).

    Morrisons and Asda sell Popping candy freddo's at 20p each just like the original ones for some reasons Tesco's sells them at 65p or 3 for £1.20 no idea why my local Morrisons and Asda has loads of them and are very nice :)
