While the bar weighs in at a hefty weight, so does the price, with the bar on offer at £60 for customers with a More Card. However, those without a More Card will have to pay the full price of £80. The chocolate bar is only available in store at Morrisons but is also currently sold on Amazon for £69.99. This is not the first time that the giant chocolate bar has been released to the public as it was previously stocked in 2017. Morrisons launched the enormous chocolate bar for Black Friday in 2017 as they released supersized items for the period. The supermarket is replicating the same trick this year for Father's Day as they sell more big items alongside the Toblerone. A limited edition footlong sausage roll, baked fresh in store everyday, will also be available for just £2 until June 15. Alongside the supersized Toblerone and sausage roll Morrisons have a Father's Day range of indulgent bakery sweet treats, corking deals on beer and ale, and further gifts and cards. 3 Customers with a More Card can purchase the bar for £60 Credit: Morrisons 3 Morrisons have come under fire for running out of promised customer rewards Credit: Getty This announcement follows public outrage at the supermarket after they encouraged customers to spend more but then ran out of promised rewards.
