British chocolate lovers have been sent into meltdown after a holidaymaker spotted a much-missed chocolate bar on sale abroad.

Reddit user AnnieIWillKnow noticed the Cadbury Dream bar on sale for £5 in Kuala Lumpur International Airport earlier this week - prompting one fan to declare they were 'booking a one-way ticket to Malaysia'.

The white chocolate Dream bar hit UK shelves in 2002, but was discontinued just a few years later because of dwindling popularity.

However, since then hoards of internet users have called for it to be brought back, with some even starting petitions.

The chocolate treat appeared to be on display alongside other British favourites, including Dairy Milk Fruit & Nut, at the duty free shop.

AnnieIWillKnow admitted they couldn't resist buying the chocolate, despite the hefty price tag.

'It was an outrageous £5 for a bar, but I couldn't resist... my sister has already requested a portion of it.'

They noted that the Dream bar was also on sale in Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand, three of the countries they had visited before returning to the UK over the weekend.

Other Reddit users said they sorely missed the chocolate bar in the thread, with one commenting: 'Right lads, we're going to Malaysia.'

'Hello yes I'll take 600,' another posted.

A third wrote: 'OH MY GOD I'm actually going out there for a trip soon, this makes me so happy.'

'It’s a dream for them to be brought back,' another said.

Others advised that the product was still available in other countries aside the UK, such as Austraila and News Zealand, while others pointed out they were on sale for £2.50 each on Amazon.

It emerged in May that Sanza - an imported goods shop that sells products from South Africa, Australia and New Zealand - also sells the bars online as they are still available in those three countries.

Earlier this year Cadbury brought back its popular white chocolate Dream ice cream sticks - a hunk of vanilla flavour ice cream covered in white chocolate.

On its website, Cadbury describes the new ice creams as: 'Vanilla flavour ice cream covered in Cadbury Dream white chocolate.'
