Shoppers shocked to see rare Quality Street chocolate scanning for £1 at B&M
SHOPPERS were left gobsmacked to see a rare Quality Street chocolate scanning for £1 at B&M.
Chocolate Hazelnut Matchmakers are priced at just a quid at the bargain store.
Eagle-eyed shoppers on HotUkDeals were quick to share the offer to other savvy customers online.
Others were quick to chime in and share their excitement over the deal, with one sharing they "used to love" the snack.
The Quality Street branded chocolate sticks, made by Nestle, are sold all year round but are loved by many as a festive treat at Christmas.
This particular flavour was launched over the summer by the chocolate maker, with many claiming it tasted like Nutella.

One shopper said at the time: "There’s a very strong flavour of hazelnut, tastes like Nutella - so good!! We got these from Morrisons."
While another said: "That sounds like a great flavour and I like it."
The product was marked down from £1.50 to £1 at the bargain retailer.
But if you are keen to shop the offer you will need to head to your nearest B&M as you can not shop the deal online.
With that in mind it may be worth ringing up your local branch ahead of time to avoid disappointment.
You can find your nearest B&M by visiting www.bmstores.co.uk/stores.
It is also likely this deal wont be around for long as the supermarket is probably clearing old Christmas stock.
Poundland is also selling the treat for £1, marked down from £1.50.
It comes as shoppers have spotted a number of festive chocolates slashed in price in recent days.
Shoppers were shocked to see Quality Street pouches scanning for just £1.86 this week.
The whopping family-sized refill pack can be found for the reduced price when you shop in Asda stores.
The bags are a popular product at Christmas time as they pack even more chocolates than a regular tub -- which usually retails for around £6.
CHEAP CHOCOLATE DEALS
B&M is not the only store slashing the price of iconic chocolate in recent weeks.
Heron Foods is selling off multi packs of Caramac chocolate bars for just a £1.
The iconic chocolate was discontinued in November 2023 after dwindling customer demand and sales.
But it has since made sporadic appearances, including most recently at Herons Foods.
The bargain food store also slashed the price of Share bags of Milky Bar giant buttons, raspberry ripple flavour from £1.50 to just 49p.
Meanwhile, Home Bargains is selling a dupe for the viral Dubai Chocolate.

How to save money on chocolate
We all love a bit of chocolate from now and then, but you don't have to break the bank buying your favourite bar.
Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how to cut costs...
Go own brand - if you're not too fussed about flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you'll save by going for the supermarket's own brand bars.
Shop around - if you've spotted your favourite variety at the supermarket, make sure you check if it's cheaper elsewhere.
Websites like Trolley.co.uk let you compare prices on products across all the major chains to see if you're getting the best deal.
Look out for yellow stickers - supermarket staff put yellow, and sometimes orange and red, stickers on to products to show they've been reduced.
They usually do this if the product is coming to the end of its best-before date or the packaging is slightly damaged.
Buy bigger bars - most of the time, but not always, chocolate is cheaper per 100g the larger the bar.
So if you've got the appetite, and you were going to buy a hefty amount of chocolate anyway, you might as well go bigger.
