Help please! Vintage Dairy Milk

I'm looking for those old-fashioned Dairy Milk squares/chunks that came individually wrapped in silver foil, in a cardboard packet of a similar size to a cigarette package.
I'm sure I've seen them in a shop in recent years but can't remember where!
All the ones I can find online are wrapped in plastic.
Anyone know?!

By the way, I know the flavour of Dairy Milk isn't like it used to be, but this is for an old gent whose tastebuds probably aren't what they once were either!

I think it was in a newsagent-type shop I saw them. I wish I could remember!

Do you mean the ones that fit in the toy vending machine?

If so would Devine Chocolate Minatures do?

Does Cadbury direct do them? I've seen them do "rationing" era style novelties

Yes! The Cadbury's Dairy Milk Miniatures are what I am looking for. Thank you nauticant and HelplesslyHoping. I see they have been discontinued so looks like I am going to be out of luck.

I looked on Cadbury Direct Menai but perhaps I will post this to them as a suggestion.

Disfordarkchocolate thanks for the suggestion. I wish those ones came in the cigarette package as that was the best bit!

squishyegg I think those are just regular sized bars.

Every year I try to find these for my mum! They discontinued them I’d guess about 10 years ago now. She used to buy them for everyone and really misses it.

Divine make similar size little bars but I’ve only ever seen them in huge quantities in a big bag.

There’s a nice tin of the dairy milk chunks, but it’s a lot bigger.

The ones linked to by Disfordarkchocolate have a minimum purchase quantity of 100 packs so you're going to be sorted for those for a long time.

@nauticant There was a £45 set up fee too!

Off the point here, but for anyone who misses the old Dairy Milk, I think the large bars taste better than the little individual ones, more like what I remember.

My mum sent my daughter a bag of individually wrapped chunks this week. They were from Tesco I think. Almost the same as the old type. I’ll try to upload a photo.

Oh they also do a tube of round individually wrapped milk swiss circle things (there's probably a proper name for that). It's nice chocolate.
