The new year is bringing a wave of nostalgia to supermarket shelves with the return of classic chocolate bars from beloved brands such as Cadbury and Nestlé. Shoppers have already spotted some retro favourites making a comeback, including a modern take on Cadbury’s iconic 90s Fuse bars at B&M stores.
Moreover, bargain hunters at Home Bargains can rejoice over the sale of a once-discontinued treat. Despite being axed by Nestlé in 2018, the White Chocolate Crunch bars have resurfaced, now available for £1.39 per 100g bar.
The sought-after confection briefly returned to Londis in April 2024 before vanishing again, sparking excitement on social media. A Snack Reviews Facebook group post about the chocolate’s return sent fans into a frenzy.
Christopher Shore gushed to the Metro: “Best chocolate ever…white milk and dark are yummy,” while others like Gary Kelly exclaimed: “Take my money,” and Kirsty Hargreaves commented: “Mmmmm love a crunch.”
Some chocolate enthusiasts expressed their eagerness to try the bar, and there’s a buzz of anticipation for the potential return of the dark chocolate variant. Meanwhile, the classic milk chocolate Crunch remains widely available, reports the Express.
For those unable to find the White Chocolate Crunch in Home Bargains, Tracey Jagodzinski hinted at its availability in other shops.
“These are also in farm foods and a bit cheaper at £1 a bar, they had the milk chocolate one and white chocolate ones.”
The reappearance of these bars may appease those chocolate enthusiasts who were disheartened to discover that Cadbury hot chocolate was absent from supermarket shelves during the festive season. This absence was first observed in November, and Cadbury subsequently confirmed that it had been temporarily withdrawn due to quality concerns.
Despite rumours of its imminent return this week, consumers are still waiting.
