Cadbury’s Christmas puds - the 90s festive fan-favourites -  were triumphantly reintroduced last year for the first time since 2002 and now they are back on the production line for a second return.

The Dairy Milk chocolate balls, with a truffle centre and crunchy hazelnut and rice pieces, were one of the nation’s favourite treats in the early 90s.

This year they are being sold as packs of five or individual pieces and the Bournville chocolate maker has high hopes they’ll be making it an extra special Christmas for many.

In fact, Cadbury brand manager, Nicole Dudley, said they are hoping to redefine the meaning of a Christmas pudding. She said: “When you hear the term ‘Christmas Pud’, your mind is immediately drawn to the traditional festive dessert – a traditional sweet treat that not everyone has a taste for.

"But with our Cadbury Puds, we promise chocolate lovers a Christmas Pud you’ll love, with its deliciously crunchy chocolate truffled centre." Mrs Dudley added: "We can’t wait to hear how they go down this year, after such a triumphant return in 2021.”

Sarah Foden, an archivist for the Bournville-based company, said: “We are very proud to have brought back our nostalgic festive customer favourite, Cadbury Puds.

"Returning by popular demand for a second year running, these delicious treats hail from the early 90s, when they quickly became the nation’s no.1 self-treat option.

"We’re thrilled that they are now back on the shelves, with packaging that replicates the design of their original look with a modern twist.”
