Cadbury has brought back a huge chocolate fan favourite after it discontinued the product nine years ago.
The chocolatier left its fans drooling at the thought of its much-loved Chocolate Coins making a comeback.
Back in 2014, Cadbury announced it was scrapping its festive favourite, sparking widespread outrage across the UK. An online petition was even launched to bring the popular sweet treat back to Christmas stockings.
