It was a massive announcement that Cadbury would be bringing back its incredible Marble Chocolate block.

After eight long years from our shelves, the sweets giant finally threw us a bone. But one thing was missing: when will this happen?

That news has finally been handed down from the big wigs at Cadbury headquarters.

Cadbury confirmed to news.com.au that the Marble will be returning on April 17.

Cadbury marketing director Paul Chatfield told News Corp: “Given the current climate, we’re glad to bring a little joy to those around the country who have been calling for us to bring back Cadbury Dairy Milk Marble.

“Cadbury has been providing Australians with a welcome treat for over 100 years, particularly during times of need.”

The roll-out of the Marble will also coincide with a shakeup of the Dairy Milk logo on Cadbury products.

The company had been facing a pretty loud group of fans that have been calling for the Marble to come back for years.

More than 20,000 people joined a Facebook page demanded the chocolate block return. In February, after so much protesting, the company announced it was giving us what we wanted.

Cadbury’s statement read: “We have been absolutely blown away by the amount of support and love that you have for one of our classic flavours.

“Please be assured that every plea, petition and comment has been heard – and we have been working hard to bring back what you want. We can officially confirm we’re bringing Cadbury Dairy Milk Marble back and it’s because of each and every one of you.”

So, we just need to get through the Easter long weekend and then surely it won’t take long to get to next Friday.

The anticipation is killing us.

Hopefully, people don’t flood the supermarkets and everywhere else that sells these delicious blocks of chocolate and hoards them worse than toilet paper.
