SHOPPERS are racing to B&M to get their hands on a rare Mars bar flavour spotted on shelves.
The limited edition product is usually only available to buy in Australia.
That’s why B&M fans went crazy when they noticed Raspberry Smash Mars bars in their local store.
It’s just like a regular Mars bar but with a twist — it’s filled with raspberry flavoured nougat.
One eagle-eyed shopper took to the Food Finds UK Official Facebook group to share the discovery — racking up close to 70 likes.
In the comments a user wrote: “Can’t wait to try this.”
While another person said: “They are even better than the classic if I’m being honest.”
The bar, selling for £1, costs roughly the same price as if you were to buy a standard Mars bar from Tesco or Sainsbury’s, where it is 95p.
However you can also grab a Mars bar in Morrisons for 65p – so it is a little steep when considering B&M’s usual bargain pricing.
However, it is worth noting that you’d struggle to find the rare raspberry flavour anywhere else.
B&M is well-known for stocking rare chocolate bars which aren’t typically available in the UK.
Some recent Aussie additions include a Peppermint Dairy Milk bar, spotted last week.

And a healthy Pinky Chocolate bar, also only available in Australia, was snatched up by UK punters in July last year.
Other international treats which have hit B&M shelves include chocolate from India and Brazil.
To find out which exclusive chocolates are hitting B&M, it helps to join local Facebook Groups, or snack-hunting ones like Food Finds UK.
This way you can be the first to get there when brand new items appear.
You can also find out where your nearest store is located by using the Store Finder tool on B&M’s website.
If you can’t find it in your local store, bear in mind that stocks may not be the same everywhere, but try asking a member of staff.
And also remember that, while limited stocks such as these tend to sell out fast, you should always remember to compare prices before you buy.
Just because something is rare doesn’t mean it is better value for money — so weigh up how much chocolate you are actually getting for the price you are paying.
A good way to compare prices on the general market is by using comparison sites like Trolley, which pull all the latest deals together for you.
