While shoppers took to the comments section to reveal the sites that had this deal, it seems not all Asda stores have the chocolates available at the £2.25 discounted price.

One disappointed chocolate fan, having searched for the deal at their local Asda, commented: "another wild goose chase."

Another person added: "None online."
