Beloved chocolate bar returns to shelves three years after being discontinued

An elite snack is back on the market.

A cult chocolate bar, which many of us will remember from our childhood, is returning to shelves after being discontinued three years ago.

Milky Way Crispy Rolls are making their way to Iceland and The Food Warehouse stores next week, alongside new Bounty and Twix versions.

Mars Wrigley, who produce several iconic chocolate bars, are trying to reinvigorate the chocolate wafer category with the return of the iconic Milky Way Crispy Rolls and the launch of two brand-new variants: Twix Crispy Rolls and Bounty Crispy Rolls.

The legendary treats will hit the shelves of both stores on February 4. They will only be available for a week so you'll have to be quick to nab some.

Iceland is selling all three of the crispy rolls for 50p each while shoppers can get three for £1.20.

Milky Way Crispy Rolls were discontinued in 2022 but, even before then, were hard to find.

Their return has sparked pure excitement among shoppers.

Posting on Facebook, one person wrote: "OMG!!! I used to love the Milky Way Crispy Rolls."

Another chipped in: "Emergency Iceland trip I need Milky Way Crispy Rolls ASAP."

A third jokingly added: "I'll take 1,000 Milky Way ones."

One other user commented: "The Crispy Rolls are elite I was devastated when they (were) discontinued."

Plus, there's also another way to get hold of the popular chocolate bars and that's via Amazon.

The online retail giant is selling packs of 24 bars for just £19.99 and they're available all-year round (or at least until stock sells out of the good stuff).

The news comes just a few weeks after an extinct Coca-Cola flavour was brought back from the dead.

Lime Coca-Cola returned in late-December.

While there is in fact a lime version of Diet Coke that was launched back in 2020 and is still available, this is the first time shoppers have been able to get their hands on the ‘full-fat’ version since it was axed 17 years ago.
