Chocolate lovers across the UK are celebrating after a beloved Nestle bar, thought lost forever, appears to have made a surprise comeback on supermarket shelves.
A Sweet Discovery in Discount Stores
Shoppers and social media sleuths have begun spotting the new Nestle Milky Bar Crunch bar in stores, with numerous reports placing it in branches of the discount retailer B&M. The discovery was highlighted by the Facebook group Newfoods UK, where a member posted a photo of the bar, noting it was priced at £2.99.
The find has caused a stir because it bears a striking resemblance to the much-missed White Chocolate Crunch Bar, which Nestle discontinued back in 2018. For years, fans have lamented its absence, with one devotee on Reddit's r/candy forum calling it "literally like one of the best candy bars in the world." Another former fan echoed this sentiment, labelling it an "all-time favourite."
Mixed Reactions and Sceptical Shoppers
While the news has been met with excitement by many, not every reaction has been sweet. Some shoppers have been quick to voice their scepticism, with one branding the new bar "horrible." Others have reported difficulties in actually finding the product, despite the online buzz.
"Been to 3 different B&Ms in my area (big ones, one has the garden centre) and none of them stock them," complained one shopper online. Similar comments followed, with others stating they hadn't seen it in their local stores, leading some to question if the product was genuinely available.
Where to Find the Returning Treat
Although B&M is the primary store linked to the discovery, several customers have also reported seeing the Milky Bar Crunch at rival retailer The Range. The Facebook post that broke the news also included images of other chocolate finds, including a variety of KitKat products, suggesting a possible seasonal or special range hitting discount stores.
The return of a bar so similar to the discontinued favourite has provided a late Christmas surprise for many. Whether this is a limited stock clearance or a sign of a permanent return remains to be seen, but for now, dedicated fans are on the hunt to secure their own piece of chocolate nostalgia.
