Nestlé discontinue 'Caramac' bar
It's been around 64 years
Last updated 8th Nov 2023
A people's favourite since the 1950s, Nestlé has confirmed it's stopping production of the Caramac bar.
For those who don't know, Caramac is a caramel-flavoured chocolate-like bar produced by Nestlé in the UK. It was first introduced in the 1950s and has been a beloved treat for generations.
It comes in the form of a chocolate-like bar - although it doesn't contain cocoa solids, making it different from traditional chocolate bars.
Caramac was known for it's distinct branding and wrapper was later replaced by a distinctive red and gold theme. It's often described as having a unique butterscotch-like flavour.
A statement on Nestle's website says:
“We are very sorry to disappoint fans, unfortunately we had to make the difficult decision to discontinue Caramac. We know fans will be disappointed to see it go, but this change will enable us to focus on our best-performing brands, as well as develop exciting new innovations to delight consumers’ tastebuds."
Check out these discontinued chocolate bars we wish would come back:
Cadbury Coconut Boost
The core centre made up of dessicated coconut combined with a normal Boost bar was just too good - why on EARTH was this masterpiece ever taken out of circulation?!
Mars Delight
That caramel and chocolate cream filling mixed with that wafer, was a pure delight. Sadly, despite people's efforts, this Mars chocolate bar won't be returning anytime soon.
Cadbury Spira
Two fingers of Dairy Milk with chocolate spiralling around the outside... YUM. Despite a petition being launched to bring back the bar, Cadbury said: "We continuously adapt our product range to ensure it meets changing tastes whilst supporting growth for our customers and our business. Our Spira bars were discontinued several years ago but we still have plenty of other delicious sharing bags for consumers to choose from!"
Cadbury Snow Flake
The geniuses at Cadbury decided to merge their white Dream chocolate with the standard flake to create utter perfection in this little bar. But why, oh why, did they stop making them?!
Rowntree's Cabana
Coconut, caramel, cherries and chocolate – the ultimate tropical chocolate bar, right?
Trio
TRIO! TRIOOOO! I want Trio and I want one now!
Cadbury Dream
Despite being one of the best additions to the Heroes tin at Christmas, Dream bars were replaced in 2008, leaving fans gutted! Although different variations have appeared over the years, there's nothing quite like the original!
Cadbury Fuse
Nuts, raisins, fudge and cereal pieces all in one chocolate bar?! In 2024, some shoppers spotted a bag of 'Fuse Mini Treats' in B&M, but the original has been discontinued for 20 years!
Terry's Pyramint
Basically, a pyramid version of an After Eight but with a slightly sloppier middle. We miss these!
KitKat Senses
We can't for the life of us think why these went extinct. But they've been refashioned in a selection box, so that's something at least.
Milkybar Choo
We're hoping this one will make a comeback. The strange combination of white chocolate and fudge worked surprisingly perfectly.
Cadbury Taz Bar
When Taz became extinct, this chocolate bar was revolutionised as a Freddo bar with caramel. But we miss that devil.
Twix Top
This was the highlight of our school packed lunches... Anyone else?! In 2018, Twix Top seemingly made a comeback, but it looks like they are unavailable again!
Cadbury Snaps
They're like Pringles - but chocolate. And just like our favourite snack, you couldn't ever just have one Snap! Although Cadbury Snaps discontinued in 2010, there's a lot of similar alternatives in different supermarkets today!
Rowntree's Secret
Withdrawn due to low sales volumes, the marshmallow centre wrapped in thick chocolate was a real treat back in the day.
Cadbury Wispa Mint
We've all had a Wispa, haven't we? But the mint version had an extra edge to it that was just simply divine. Sigh.
Texan
The mighty chew.
Flyte
Forget Maltesers, this really was a lighter way to enjoy chocolate.
Galaxy Truffle
The fan favourite was inexplicably removed and replaced by Twix in Celebrations tubs back in 2011. It's clear that some people are not over it as a petition was made in 2018 to bring the chocolate back.
