The firm said that it had benefited from the ‘stay at home' culture with demand rising for bars of chocolate and bags of sweets.
In particular Wispa bars and Giant Buttons as well as sales of its bite size Cluster bars buoyed UK sales. Global pre-tax profits were £112m, down from £134m a year earlier although after one-off costs were stripped out it made £262m, up 24%.
Cadbury also claimed that its profit margins had increased due to cost cutting and cheaper marketing costs due to the recession's impact on the advertising industry.
