If you grew up in the 90s and 00s, Colin the Caterpillar was probably an essential part of your childhood.

First hitting shelves in 1990, the classic M&S character has gained a huge fan base and its iconic chocolate cake has become a staple at children’s birthday parties.

And now, following its huge success, the retailer has launched a new character called Easter Lamb to “take the spotlight” with Colin.

M&S said in a statement: “This year Colin shares the spotlight with his new friend, Easter Lamb.

“This cute couple is guaranteed to steal the show.

“Enjoy not one, but two creamy, extremely chocolatey sponges, drizzled with decadent chocolate and topped with Easter decorations, including an Easter nest.”

With Easter just a few days away, the new delicacy is already on supermarket shelves.

And excited customers have started sharing their excitement online.

One fan said: “We’re definitely going to have this one!”

Another wrote: “A Colin for literally all occasions.”

A third shared: “The lamb is so cute.”

The new cake also includes the Colin the Caterpillar fanny pack, filled with delicious treats.

Each bag costs £7 and contains six milk chocolate eggs and a mini bag of white chocolate Colin faces.

There is also the Percy Pig Bum Bag with six milk chocolate eggs and a mini bag of Percy Piglets.

It comes after Home Bargains fans rushed to get their hands on ‘rare’, discontinued chocolates being sold for dirt cheap prices.

The supermarket giant is selling the rare Kitkat pops for just 39 cents.

Although the packaging says the chocolate is new, it was originally introduced in 2022 and Nestlé quickly stopped producing the tasty treats.

However, treat lovers have now found them for a bargain at Home Bargains.

One lucky shopper snagged the deal today and rushed to social media to brag about his purchase.

They wrote: “I’m pretty sure these have been on the market before, even though the label says they are new. But still a rare find, and at that price I couldn’t say no.”

Meanwhile, Rowntree’s has launched a new treat in time for Easter and fans are rushing to Morrisons to stock up.

The retail giant has put a different spin on it by adding a share bag of their Randoms sweets.

With Easter approaching in just a few days, major retailers are engaged in a price war and are slashing the price of Easter eggs.

Additionally, a new Terry’s Chocolate Orange flavor that “tastes better than the original” is generating excitement among shoppers.
