Gone, but not forgotten
A nostalgic look back at some of the nation’s favourite discontinued chocolate bars, including your top picks
Earlier this year, Onbuy.com conducted a survey to ind out which discontinued chocolate bars people most wanted to see make a comeback. The most popular choice was the original Cadbury Crème Egg (the recipe changed in 2015), followed by Galaxy Tru le (removed from the Celebrations tin in 2011) and Mars Delight bar (discontinued in 2008).
This got us thinking about other gone-but-not-forgotten chocolates. We asked our BBC Good Food Together Facebook group which chocolate bars they miss the most. Read and reminisce! ‘Milkybar Choo.’ Janet Holland
