The comments section was almost immediately filled with people admitting they were desperate to get their hands on a pack.
“NEEEEDDDD,” one wrote.
“Yes please!” another added.
“Don’t you like this chocolate?” a third commented, tagging a friend.
As someone else sighed of their local store: “They never have any!”
News of Home Bargains’ peanut butter cup deal comes after Reese’s Easter egg featured in a study looking at which eggs were the most sustainable.
The Reese’s Milk Chocolate Hollow Egg came in at number six on the list of the top 10, with 26.5% of the product made up of packaging.
However, 100% of the packaging used for the egg was recyclable, giving it a sustainability score of 43.3.
Terry’s Chocolate Orange egg topped the list with a sustainability score of 66.7 (out of 100), followed by Cadbury’s Creme Egg hollow Easter egg with 63.3.
Last place was taken by the Ferrero Rocher Easter Egg in white chocolate, with a score of 16.7 out of 100.
The result was determined due to the box having no instructions on how to recycle the packaging, which made up 30% of the product.
It also used four different materials in the packaging – plastic, cardboard, foil, and paper.
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.
“Over the years, many Easter egg producers have made great strides to reduce the use of plastic in their packaging,” Mark Hall, plastic waste expert at BusinessWaste.co.uk commented.
“Yet our research shows there’s still further to go when it comes to sustainable packaging.
“However, it is great to see nine out of ten products clearly marked with recycling instructions and most packaging having high recyclability rates.”
