CHOCOLATE lovers rejoice – Cadbury Dairy Mailk chocolate coins are back on supermarket shelves for the first time in nearly 10 years.
Cadbury Dairy Milk Coins
- £1.50 (70g)
- £2.14 per 100g
It's great to see the Cadbury coins back on supermarket shelves. They are all one size and have a lovely Santa design, which is more festive than all the others. The chocolate, as you'd expect from Cadbury, is deliciously milky, creamy and smooth. My only complaint with these is the price – they cost twice as much as the bags from Asda and Aldi making them an expensive delicacy – but you do get a lovely treat.

Waitrose Milk Chocolate Coins
- £1.20 (75g)
- £1.60 per 100g
Waitrose's take on the choc currency looks nice and there's a good amount in the bag. But I thought the chocolate tasted cheap and nasty. I was left disappointed, especially given the price and wouldn't go back for these again. If I were you, I'd give these a miss.

Sainsbury's Milk Chocolate Coins
- 85p (70g)
- £1.21 per 100g
Sainsbury's coins are not as creamy and milky as the Cadbury coins. The chocolate was quite bitter but tasted good quality. I enjoyed them and they are a great price, coming in cheaper than Morrisons. They were particularly difficult to get out of their foil wrapper though.

Tesco Milk Chocolate Coins
- 69p (62g)
- £1.11 per 100g
The Tesco coins were thicker than most with a nice crunch. Whilst they were nice to eat, once I'd finished eating them I was left with a slightly funny after taste in my mouth. There were fewer in the bag than most others too. They are a good price from Tesco though at just £1.11 per 100g, and the kids didn't seem to mind.

Aldi Dairyfine Milk Chocolate Coins
- 75p (70g)
- £1 per 100g
These Dairyfine coins were middle of the road from Aldi. I had nothing much to complain about. The foil was a bit tricky to get off, especially the smaller ones, but they were a great price. The chocolate also had a lovely taste and I found them quite more-ish.

Morrisons Milk Chocolate Coins
- £1 (70g)
- £1.43 per 100g
Quite expensive for a Morrisons product, I would have expected better value. These were more expensive that Asda and Sainsbury's for the same sized bag. The chocolate was nice though, creamy and rich. A delicious treat.

Asda Milk Chocolate Coins
- 75p (75g)
- £1 per 100g
The Asda coins stood out in their silver, red and green foil compared to all the other gold ones. They were also quite large and in a good sized bag. The chocolate had a lovely aroma but I wasn't sure about the taste. It was like the kind of chocolate you buy abroad on holiday and wasn't my favourite.

Lidl Favorina Milk Chocolate Money
- £1.49 (150g)
- £1 per 100g
My kids were so excited when they spotted the Lidl coins as not only are there coins, but chocolate £10 and £20 notes too, which were a great novelty. The bag was big, they were great value and easy to unwrap unlike some others. The chocolate had a lovely crunch and flavour. An absolute winner at this price.
