A popular discontinued chocolate bar has returned to Home Bargains stores across the UK.

It has been a difficult few months for lovers of sweet treats in the UK with several chocolates being axed by major confectionary companies including the likes of Cadbury and Nestle.

In November (2023), Cadbury confirmed it had discontinued its peanut caramel crisp chocolate bar after just five years on UK shelves.

Then in May, the confectionary company said its Dairy Milk Orange chocolate bar had also been discontinued.

Discontinued Milky Way Crispy Rolls return at Home Bargains

Before all these, Milky Way Crispy Rolls were discontinued by Mars Wrigley back in 2022.

At the time, a spokesperson for the company, speaking to The Sun, said: "While Milky Way Crispy Rolls are currently in a galaxy far, far away we’re pleased to offer many delicious alternatives such as Milky Way Magic Stars, Maltesers, Mars and of course, the traditional Milky Way."

But now, two years on, the fan-favourite chocolate treats are back, and on sale in Home Bargain stores across the UK for just 99p (for a box of six).

Shoppers have been quick to spread the news of the Milky Way chocolate's return, taking to social media to share their discovery.

One person, commenting on a post on the Facebook Group Extreme Couponing & Bargains UK, said: "They’re back!"

Another person added: "Ohhhhhhh my days. Neeeeeed some."

A third person commented: "They are 99p quickkkk runnnnn."

While another user said: "I need these in my life again. Lets hope my nearest one has them when i next visit on friday."
