Discontinued chocolate bars Brits miss the most ranked
From Cadburys to Nestlé and Mars, there's no denying that we're a sweet-toothed nation. From the crunchy honeycomb centre of a Malteser to the gooey caramel of a classic Mars, everyone's got a favourite chocolate bar. Most of us will also link our favourite chocolate to memorable moments such as school days or that walk home from our first job. So, when they disappear from the shelves, we wait longingly for a comeback. Now, a survey by a brand that is part of Smooth Radio has revealed the nation's top ten most-loved bars that Brits would like to see return. The discontinued chocolate bar Brits want to return Surveying 2,000 people across the UK, the results found that the minty twist on the classic Wispa bar came out on top, with more than one in five (22%) naming it as the chocolate they'd most like to see return. A member of the Wispa family, the mint version first hit shelves in 1995 but was sadly discontinued in 2003 - much to the frustration of chocolate lovers. Kit Kat Caramac, which was discontinued two years ago after 64 years due to declining sales, came in joint second with 20% of the vote. Milky Way Crispy Rolls, pulled from production by Mars in 2022, also tied for second place. White chocolate fans were left disappointed when Cadbury Dream was discontinued in the UK over two decades ago - and it seems they still miss it, as nearly one in five (18%) named it their preferred discontinued treat. Known for its rich milk chocolate combined with smooth white chocolate, Cadbury Marble followed close behind with 16% of the vote. It was discontinued in 2012, while Orange Crunchie - which featured a tangy orange-flavoured honeycomb centre - placed alongside it. Rounding out the top five were other nostalgic favourites like Mars Delight, Cadbury Aztec, SnowFlakes, Quality Street Toffee Deluxe, and Mint Crunchie, each earning 13% of the vote. Discontinued chocolate bars you'd most like to bring back Wispa Mint 22% Caramac 20% Milky Way Crispy Rolls 20% Cadbury Dream 18% Cadbury Marble 16% Orange Crunchie 16% Mars Delight 13% Cadbury Aztec 13% SnowFlakes 13% Quality Street Toffee Deluxe 13% Mint Crunchie 13% Cadbury's Tiffin 12% Kit Kat Senses 12% White Crunch Bar 11% Toffo 11% Fox's Echo 9% Snaps 6% Taz 4% Recommended Reading: Which chocolate is making a comeback? However, it's not all bad news, as several various chocolate bars have made a comeback in recent months. Mars Wrigley brought back Maltesers White Chocolate after more than a decade in May, much to the delight of fans. While Cadbury Crispello, that was also discontinued in 2014, was recently spotted on the shelves at B&M.
