Kellogg's is launching a new chocolate Corn Flake flavour
The beloved item was first introduced in 2013 and shoppers fell in love.
Writing on Facebook, one social media user described them as the: "Best Corn Flakes ever!!"
Another wrote: "Yay! Choco Corn Flakes! Two of my favourites in one!"
However, despite its popularity, it was axed in the same year.
At the start of 2024, the cereal made a surprise return, much to the delight of fans.
The morning meal was rolled out across Tesco superstores and was sold for £3.29 for a 450g box.
But in May of this year, Kellogg's issued a mass recall of the cereal following fears customers could choke on the food or damage their teeth.
Following some consumer complaints, the company found that a small proportion of batches could contain "hard lumps" that do not break down when eaten with milk.
This means there is a risk it could potentially cause dental damage or be a choking hazard.
The warning applies to all 450g packs with date codes from December 6, 2024 to April 28, 2025.

The cereal has not been spotted on shelves since, but rumours have been swirling online that it was due to make a return next week.
Shoppers were really excited when they spotted the rumour, with one customer writing: "glad to hear it".
But The Sun reached out to Kellogg's who confirmed that the cereal would not be returning to shelves any time soon.
It will come as a blow to excited shoppers who said their "life was complete" the last time it made an appearance on supermarket shelves.
And it's not the first time Kellogg's has waved goodbye to a beloved snack.
Last summer the food giant axed All Bran Golden Crunch, in a blow to shoppers.
OTHER AXED CEREAL
And it's not only Kellogg's which has pulled the trigger on a number of popular morning foods.
Weetabix confirmed earlier this month that Alpen cereal bars have now permanently disappeared from supermarket shelves.
Tesco left shoppers heartbroken when it confirmed it was no longer making its own-brand apricot wheats.
Nestle also said last summer it was no longer making Cheerios Vanilla O's, leading to heartbreak.
The giant also delivered another blow to shoppers when it confirmed that Golden Grahams cereal was not making a comeback.
Golden Grahams were popular in the 80s and 90s but were discontinued in 2021.
