But now discount chain B&M has begun selling a new version of the treat, also made by Cadbury.

It has combined both Dream and Marvellous Creations to create a raspberry-flavoured white chocolate bar.

Posting on the Newfoodsuk Facebook page, admins shared a whole selection of new chocolates found in store.

They said: “Loads of new bars of chocolate spotted at B&M Stores.”

Shoppers flocked to the comments, with many drawn to the Dream bar in particular.

One said: “Got this today and it’s good.”

Another wrote: “This is one I want.”

A third commented: “This is lush.”

While a fourth posted: “I NEED this.”

“Omg need to try this,” a fifth declared.

Although one was not as impressed and stated that Cadbury has “ruined” Dream with popping candy.

The bar is made up of Dream white chocolate with raspberry candy chips, jelly pieces and popping candy scattered throughout.

The chocolate appears to only be available in B&M at the moment and is a special edition so likely won’t be around for long.

We have reached out to B&M to find out the price of the bar and will update this story when we hear back.

As B&M doesn’t have an online shop, you’ll need to visit your nearest branch to pick up a bar.

B&M has 600 stores in the UK – use the online store finder to locate your nearest one.

For those of you who don’t remember, Dream bars were made from white chocolate and cocoa butter.

Fans of the much-missed bars were left devastated when the popular treat was axed from shelves by Cadbury just a few years after its launch in 2002.

To help fill the void, Cadbury released a new white chocolate range, suitably called Cadbury White, in July 2019 – but some chocolate lovers say it just isn’t the same as their beloved Dream.

Several years ago, The Sun first spotted Dream bars being sold in B&M on the Instagram page John’s Snack Reviews.

More chocolate bargains

It comes as shoppers are racing to stock up on their chocolate treats for Christmas – don’t miss out.

Choc lovers have been left thrilled after discovering a “strange combo” hidden within a new Cadbury’s bar.

Customers have finally started getting their hands on Cadbury‘s new Dairy Milk Pink Lemonade edition which has recently hit some shelves across the globe.

Described as being the classic Dairy Milk chocolate on the outside with a “flowing raspberry lemonade flavoured centre”, the snack is sure to attract chocolate fans.

This means shoppers will be pocketing a 34 per cent discount on the sweet treats and saving £2.05.

Meanwhile, Asda shoppers were delighted after discovering a Cadbury chocolate advent calendar is selling for just 85p in stores.

The deal has been shared on the Extreme Couponing and Bargaining Facebook group and users are shocked by the reduced price.

It is a Cadbury Dairy milk advent calendar, containing 24 milk chocolates in various festive shapes.

On the Cadbury website, the calendar sells for £2.25, meaning this Asda bargain is 62% discounted from the original price.

Plus, B&M shoppers are rushing to buy festive chocolate treats that are perfect for kids’ Christmas Eve boxes.

The bargain retailer’s festive selection box has social media users going wild as they plan ahead for Christmas.

How to save money at B&M

Shoppers have saved hundreds of pounds a year by using B&M’s scanner app.

The scanner lets you see if an item’s price is cheaper than advertised on the shop floor label.

Products that are typically discounted are seasonal items and old stock that B&M is trying to shift.

The app is free to download off the B&M Stores mobile app via Google Play or the Apple App Store.

According to one ex-B&M manager, you’ll want to visit your local branch at 10am on a Wednesday too.

This is when staff slash items to as little as 10p to clear excess stock and make way for new products.

Remember you can find your nearest B&M branch by using the retailer’s store locator tool on its website.

MICHAEL Strahan and Howie Long were jokingly offered the chance to come out of retirement by a Fox NFL Sunday colleague.

Host Curt Menefee tried to broker a deal with the Dallas Cowboys live on air for the pair to return to the field.

Strahan, 52, won a Super Bowl with the New York Giants before retiring in 2007.

Long, 64, was a Super Bowl champion with the Los Angeles Raiders before his career ended in 1993.

But despite the pass rushers both being way past their prime – host Menefee offered their services.

Strahan, Long and Menefee appeared on Fox NFL Sunday alongside Terry Bradshaw and Jimmy Johnson.

The crew welcomed Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones for a live interview ahead of a Week 6 game.

Jones was speaking from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas before the Cowboys faced the Detroit Lions.

And host Menefee noted the injuries that Dallas is dealing with on defense before offering his colleagues’ services.

“You’ve got all those injuries on defense,” Menefee told Jones.

“Michael Strahan and Howie Long.

“You’re a deal maker – what will you give me for them for one afternoon?”

The crew laughed as Jones responded to the attempts to broker a deal.

“We were doing this great celebration for Jimmy Johnson,” the Cowboys owner said.

“Next thing Howie Long was talking about all this confusion going on the sidelines.

“But we brought them in so we could make a big show for Jimmy.”

Long responded “it was an amazing day” as the crew laughed at his expense.

Cowboys owner Jones had no reason to laugh or smile after Sunday’s game.

He suffered the worst home loss of his 35-year tenure as Dallas was thumped 47-9 by the Lions.

“I regret that for our fans,” Jones told reporters after the loss.

“I regret it for everybody that is a part of the Dallas Cowboys.

“The key thing to think about is we’re six games in and we’re 3-3.

“We’ve had times when we haven’t liked where we were in the early part of the season and we don’t like where we are now.

“There’s a lot of work to do and a lot of improvement before we sit here with any smiles on our face.”

SISTER Wives star Meri Brown has admitted breastfeeding one of husband Kody’s other children.

The California-born mum-of-one 53, who terminated her marriage with Kody, 55, in 2023, told how her actions were “medically necessary” at the time.

Meri – Kody’s first wife who he married in 1990 and with whom he shares child Leon – opened up on her gesture and said: “I actually breastfed one of our kids that was not my own child.”

She told the latest Sister Wives episode in a confessional: “That was something that was kind of medically necessary at the time, but it wasn’t something that we did on a regular basis just for fun, just for kicks and giggles.”

Kody’s final wife Robyn, 46, added: “Yeah, it’s true. It’s true.

“Women would breastfeed each other’s babies.”

She continued: “In our culture, I’ve seen it plenty of times.

“It’s not like musical babies. It’s more of, like, necessity and help and, you know, a community of women being supportive to each other about their children and stuff.”

Between his four wives, Kody has had 18 children and six grandchildren.

ALL CHANGE

Three out of TLC star Kody’s four marriages have now ended.

He recently told of an awkward run-in with his exes during a family wedding and said: “I don’t need another enemy.”

Meri and Kody – who were spiritually and legally married – divorced in 2014 for the sake of expanding their family, with Kody then marrying fourth wife, Robyn, in order to adopt her children. 

But Meri remained in the family unit – alongside Robyn, second wife Janelle and third wife Christine – before breaking up with Kody properly in January 2023. 

Both Christine and Janelle have also split from Kody, leaving him now with one wife Robyn.

He said: “I think if I were single and Meri was single, would I date her? No, I wouldn’t,” he admitted to the camera. 

“She is upset that I’ve dragged this out so long. I don’t blame her.” 

Admitting he is no longer on good terms with Janelle or Christine, he added: “I don’t want Meri to be in this place where she’s taking this toll, this direction that both Christine and Janelle have taken.

“Oh, yeah, ‘I need one more enemy right now.”

It came after Meri proved she was moving on, showing off her epic weight loss and chiseled cheekbones in a new video.

Sister Wives continues Sundays on TLC.

DOZENS of Dirt Cheap discount stores are set to close by the end of the year after bosses filed for bankruptcy.

Sales are already underway, meaning customers can grab a bargain.

Dirt Cheap bosses are already advertising sales[/caption]

Owners of the chain’s parent company filed for bankruptcy on October 10, and it means that the future of the chain’s 60-plus outlets are now in jeopardy.

It’s not known exactly when the stores will close but it’s thought it could be by the end of the year, according to The Daily Leader.

The chain has a presence across the southern United States, including in Alabama, Florida, Georgia and Texas.

All nine of the company’s stores in Louisiana are to go to the wall.

Dirt Cheap has been part of the American retail scene for more than 30 years.

One store near the company’s headquarters in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, is already holding a closing-down sale, as reported by Nexstar.

An outlet in Greenwood, Mississippi, is holding a discount sale.

Prices of items in the entire store have been cut by between 70 and 90%.

Shoppers can pick up clothes and shoes for less than $5.

Sales have been advertised on the company’s Facebook page.

Bargain hunters can pick up luxury apparel for just $10, while luxury footwear is on sale for $15.

Shoppers can get home improvement items that have been cut by up to 70%.

Bosses at Channel Control Merchants, the parent company of Dirt Cheap, revealed the chain had been experiencing financial headwinds.

Jeffrey Martin, who was recently appointed as the company’s chief restructuring officer, seemed to blame competition from major retailers, as reported by The Daily Journal.

Shoppers have shared their reaction to the slew of pending closures.

“I hate this! I love shopping at Dirt Cheap,” one customer mourned.

“Use to be my favorite place to go searching for a deal,” another said.

Fans of the discount retailer said they were heartbroken after hearing the news.

Dirt Cheap stores sell items that were returned to major retailers such as Target and Macy’s.

Also, the prices of items are slashed, making them attractive to shoppers.

Dirt Cheap is not the only retailer that has seen or is about to see store closures.

A total of 150 underperforming Macy’s stores are to close by the end of 2026.

ANDY Cano was the cousin of the Menendez brothers, who took the stand to defend his relatives. 

Erik and Lyle murdered their parents on August 20, 1989, in a crime that shocked America and was infamously dramatized by Ryan Murphy in his Netflix series Monsters. 

AP: Associated Press

Court TV

The brothers were sentenced to life in prison without parole but it has been announced that their case will go to a retrial after new evidence came to light. 

Sadly Andy passed away from a drug overdose in 2003, years before there was a widespread movement to free Erik and Lyle. 

An infamous trial

Not much is known about Andy’s life before the trial, but his testimony became an integral part of the Mendendez brothers’ case. 

Andy was asked by Erik and Lyle’s attorney, Leslie Abramson, to reveal a secret that his older cousin had confided in him. 

Under oath, Andy alleged that Erik was being sexually abused by his father, Jose. 

Andy said that Erik revealed this information when he was 13 and that they had spoken about it several times. 

However, when the trial ended in a hung jury, a second trial was called and information about Erik and Lyle’s alleged abuse was restricted. 

Over time, the trial became the subject of huge public interest and was watched live across America.

After the trial 

The brothers’ defense was not successful and they were eventually sentenced to life in prison without parole. 

After the trial, Andy battled with intense feelings of guilt about not intervening earlier. 

Eventually, he overdosed on sleeping pills and passed away in 2003, at the age of 29. 

Andy’s sister, Marta, found a letter from Erik to his cousin which shed more light on his claims of sexual abuse

The letter read: “I’ve been trying to avoid dad. 

It’s still happening Andy, but it’s worse for me now.

I can’t explain it. 

He’s so overweight that I can’t stand to see him. 

I never know when it’s going to happen and it’s driving me crazy. 

Every night, I stay up thinking he might come in.

I need to put it out of my mind.”

While testifying, Andy opened up about how conversations with Erik about the abuse always ended with a “pinkie promise” to stay silent.

The Menendez brothers’ crime 

The Menendez brothers murdered their parents Kitty and José on August 20, 1989. 

They claimed that this was motivated by the alleged years of abuse that they suffered at the hands of their father. 

After the murder, they lived a lavish lifestyle which was paid for with the millions of dollars that they inherited from their parents. 

Erik hired a professional tennis coach and Lyle bought a buffalo wing restaurant in New Jersey. 

They were eventually caught after Erik confessed to his therapist, Dr Jerome Oziel, who then told his mistress, Judalon Smyth. 

When Jerome broke off his affair with Judalon, she told the police about the Menendez brothers’ crime. 

After being sentenced in 1996, the brothers didn’t see each other again until 2018. 

Since Ryan Murphy’s Netflix series Monsters dramatized their crimes and a subsequent documentary dived into the case, calls for Erik and Lyle’s release have intensified. 

Celebrities including Kim Kardashian have advocated for their release and new evidence will be given at an upcoming retrial. 

A SIDE hustle expert has shared how you can make $3,500 a month on TikTok WITHOUT showing your face. 

The content style is known as Faceless TikTok, whereby creators make videos and picture reels without ever going on camera.

David made $7,000 in 60 days through content creation without showing his face[/caption]

They instead use other creative ways to engage their audiences, such as voiceovers, text, external clips or visuals that don’t involve revealing their identity. 

Despite not showing their faces, many faceless TikTok creators still gain large followings. 

Faceless content creator and side hustle expert David, who goes by @dave_preneur online, claims that he built one profile to over 500,000 followers in just 60 days. 

He took to TikTok (this time with his face) to share how he leveraged the content style to not only rack up the followers in two months, but also walk away with $7,000. 

“The crazy thing about Faceless TikTok is that these videos only take about five to 10 minutes to make,” he said in a now-viral video. 

“The potential to earn is insane.”

His first content idea for making cash through a faceless TikTok profile was to create conspiracy theory videos. 

And according to David, this is the biggest faceless money-maker of them all. 

“TikTok pays more if you are targeting the older demographic,” he said. 

“They want older people on this app. 

“So, if you can target them, you’re gonna make a lot of money.”

Conspiracy theory videos on social media involve presenting, discussing or speculating on various conspiracy theories. 

These videos typically explore ideas or beliefs that challenge the mainstream narrative, often suggesting that secret or hidden forces are behind significant events, trends or phenomena.

They work for faceless content as you can use related, royalty-free images and videos, or a plain background with text written over it. 

David also recommended making quiz-style videos that are roughly around one minute long as these videos get “a tonne of engagement in the comments”. 

He also recommended using AI technology to generate images and videos for content ideas, but admitted this is a “saturated niche”.

The festive news comes after it was revealed that two new TV channels are landing on Amazon Fire and Roku sticks this week, bringing with them more than 100 hours of content.

The pair of new free channels, which air content 24 hours a day, will be available via the Rakuten TV streaming platform.

The channels are called Rakuten TV Halloween and Rakuten TV 100% Christmas.

Both stations will exclusively stream movies, from Hollywood blockbusters to beloved classics.

They are free to watch, as long as you’re happy to watch adverts.

Rakuten TV Halloween is already live on the platform, having launched yesterday, and will be watchable until 4 November.

The channel will feature a spooky selection of films, like The Resurrection of Charles Manson and Jessabelle.

Tomorrow (16 October), Rakuten TV will also launch its Christmas channel, which will air festive classics until 8 January, 2025.

The channel will include titles like Christmas Eve and I’m Not Ready for Christmas.

A DRIVER has been left reeling after her car was hit by a mysterious “boulder”, only for her insurer to refuse to cover the $1,800 bill.

The stunned motorist said she was “grateful to be alive” after the projectile struck just inches from her windshield.

Gwendolyn Davis was in the car with her daughter in Sandy, UT, when the “unreal” collision occurred.

The pair were driving along I-15 and about to exist when, according to Ms Davis, a rock the size of a person’s head flew towards them, seemingly out of nowhere.

The stone then crashed into their SUV, crumpling part of the bodywork and almost sending them into a dangerous spin.

Ms Davis told KSL TV: “I could see a big boulder coming at us, and I thought I was going to die.

“It came so quickly.

“And next thing I know, I heard was a boom.”

The terrified mother then saw the rock go on to hit a further four cars, with one apparently having its transmission “ripped out” while others had their tires shredded.

Photos of the aftermath of the smash show Ms Davis’ car with a crater into the side of the bonnet.

If the impact had been just a little to the left, the stone easily could have hit, and potentially gone through, the windshield.

The local highway patrol confirmed that they had received reports of the “boulder”, with five vehicles damaged.

Fortunately, no injuries were reported.

But cops have been unable to work out where the rock came from and where it ricocheted off to.

Ms Davis went on: “I was just so thankful that we made it out of there alive.

“I knew that my prayers, my immediate prayers at that moment had been answered.”

There’s still a mess for the mom to sort out as her insurance company is refusing to pay out for the damage.

An initial mechanic quote suggested it could set her back as much as $1,800.

Nonetheless, the family said they were just happy to escape unharmed.

A MACY’S store inside a popular shopping mall will close its doors in the coming months.

Execs at the department store chain identified 150 underperforming locations that will close by 2026.

The store is located in the Kingston Collection mall[/caption]

The company has tried to reassure shoppers that the closure isn’t imminent, per The Patriot Ledger.

The department store located in the Kingston Collection mall is to remain open until early 2025.

A company spokesperson told The Patriot Ledger the pending shutdown aligns with the chain’s desire to return to profitability.

The space inside the shopping mall has always been a Macy’s or a Filene’s outlet since 1989.

Shoppers regret the store is closing.

“It’s sad. I grew up here, and I’ve shopped here,” one told the radio station WBZ.

“I’m very disappointed. I love it,” another said.

Shoppers also reflected on their time visiting the mall.

“Such a bummer about the mall. The place was off the hook,” a third person chimed.

The Kingston Collection mall also houses chains such as Starbucks, Sunglass Hut, Target, and Toys R Us.

It’s unknown what will replace the Macy’s store once it closes.

Macy’s is not leaving Massachusetts entirely, as the chain has more than a dozen other sites.

But outlets in Braintree and Hanover are expected to go to the wall.

The stores in Massachusetts are not the only outlets that are slated to close.

In August, The U.S. Sun reported that a Macy’s outlet in Tucker, Georgia—around 24 minutes northeast of Atlanta—will also close by early next year.

In February this year, bosses first revealed plans to close down 150 stores.

Chiefs decided to make the announcement after the chain, which has been part of the retail scene for decades, reported losses in the fourth quarter.

But bosses warned the chain wasn’t disappearing entirely from the map.

Execs announced plans to refurbish 350 outlets and open 15 Bloomingdale locations.

“We are making the necessary moves to reinvigorate relationships with our customers through improved shopping experiences, relevant assortments, and compelling value,” Tony Spring, Macy’s CEO, said at the time.

The decision to close 150 stores came years after bosses announced plans to shut 125 outlets.

Macy’s is not the only retailer that has seen store closures.

Bosses at huge department store chains JCPenney and Belk have closed outlets in recent years.
