Cadbury: Birmingham-based Chocolate makers axe popular dark chocolate treat

The chocolate firm has confirmed Bournville fingers have been discontinued after five years on shelves.

Bournville fingers are an adaptation of the popular dark chocolate bite, covering a crispy biscuit.

The owner of Cadbury - which is based on Bournville, Birmingham - Mondelez International has confirmed the treat will be disappearing from stores in the UK. "We continuously adapt our product range to ensure it meets changing tastes whilst supporting growth for our customers and our business," a spokesperson said.

"Our Cadbury Bournville Fingers were discontinued this year. However, we still have plenty of other delicious products for consumers to enjoy, such as our Cadbury Bournville Giant Dark Buttons and our classic Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolate Fingers."

The chocolate biscuit was popular among snack fans, with a 4.5 out of 5 rating on the official Cadbury store on Amazon.
