Cadbury has been accused of ripping customers off with its its Ultimate Selection Box - after shoppers worked out it would be 50 per cent cheaper to buy the chocolate bars individually.
The limited edition selection box contains 26 chocolate bars including a Crunchie, Dairy Milk Fruit & Nut and Freddo.
It's estimated that the value of the chocolate bars alone stands at £24.89, less than half the price tag of the box, which costs £50 from Cadbury Gifts Direct.
Shoppers have been quick to criticise the chocolate giant over the 'ridiculously overpriced' item on Facebook.

According to Edinburgh Evening News, Facebook user April Rose wrote: 'I hate to be that person… but this is soo ridiculously overpriced at £50.
'You could literally purchase all of these bars in pound shops or on offer at the supermarkets.'
They also quote shopper Sharon Bartlett as saying: 'You could get it all a lot cheaper probably half the price, so who would pay 25.00, for the cardboard box, as that’s what you are basically doing.'
However in a statement released this week, Cadbury suggested the high cost was due to the 'smaller production run' and 'increased packaging costs'.
A spokesperson for the company, which is owned by Mondelez International, said: 'After popular demand, we have made a limited number of Cadbury Ultimate Selection Boxes, containing all the top Cadbury favorites.
'The smaller production run and increased packaging costs to withhold the considerable weight of the combined products has meant higher manufacturing costs, this is reflected in the price.'
Weighing just over 2kg, the box measures 75cm x 48 cm x 4cm and is described by Cadbury as 'probably the world's biggest selection box' and a 'whopper' that's 'perfect for sharing'.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
