With the cost of living crisis affecting almost everything in recent years, one sweet treat which has really been affected by inflation is the iconic Cadbury Freddo bar, which now retails at a simply outrageous 25p.

However, to celebrate Morrisons' 125th birthday and 200 years of chocolate maker Cadbury’s, the supermarket giant is rolling back the clock for a limited time only, pricing the Freddo bar back to its original price of 10p.

A move which will save Freddo lovers a huge 60%, customers can get their hands on 10p chocolate between Friday 21st June and Monday 24th June in all stores nationwide.

Mike Kenny, Confectionery Buying Manager at Morrisons, said: “We’re bringing back a sweet taste of nostalgia to celebrate our 125th anniversary and we’re thrilled to be able to offer everyone’s favourite Freddo bar for just 10p. The offer won’t be available for long, so customers will need to be quick at nabbing themselves a bar, or two, or three!”

According to Cadbury, the Freddo bar is a 'delicious treat size frog made from classic, creamy Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate. A little family favourite for generations'.

Freddo bars were actually originally created by an Australian confectionery company called MacRobertson's. Designed and created by an 18-year-old employee called Harry Melbourne in 1930, the sweet treat was later sold to Cadbury in 1967.

Although it was initially only sold in Australia, it didn't take long for Cadbury to produce the Freddo bar on global scale, even adding adaptations and flavours of the product.

Following its UK relaunch in the 1990s, Freddo bars were priced at 10p and remained that until 2005, before a rough increase of around 2p per year. In recent years, Freddo bars average around 25p.
