Chocolate lovers urged to stock up as ‘best ever’ Nestle bar returns to shops

It’s the return of the Mac!

Nestle have finally brought back one of their iconic chocolate bars, which many have called the “best ever.”

The Caramac was taken off shelves in 2023 after 60 years of production.

It was brought back last year for a limited time but sold out almost instantly.

However, shoppers in the UK will be happy to know that the Caramac has returned to certain shops.

Heron Foods is currently selling the chocolate bar in packs of three for just £1.

Fans of the bar posted online to celebrate the return of the beloved treat.

One person wrote: “Heaven in a bar. Just wonderful. I don’t have one for ages, then I get one and remember just how great they are.”

Another said: “Caramac is like crack, very moreish.”

How long the bar will remain in stores this time around is anyone’s guess, so shoppers are being advised to stock up now while they have the chance.

If you’re unable to get to a Heron Foods or if you live in Ireland, Cadbury have got you covered with an alternative.

The Caramilk, launched in 2021, is being lauded as an alternative to the Caramac.

The bar is described as “a golden blend of Cadbury white chocolate and caramelised milk powder developed for the UK & Ireland.”

Cadbury added: “The result is a smooth golden caramel chocolate flavour. One bite is all it takes to be converted.

“Made with sustainably sourced cocoa. Vegetarian friendly.”

Cadbury has also launched their newest treat, the Dairy Milk Biscoff bar, which launched in Sainsbury’s on March 15th.

Priced around £2, the bar features Dairy Milk’s classic chocolate with crunchy Biscoff pieces throughout.

The treat will hit the shelves at Morrisons on March 19th.

Meanwhile, Tesco shoppers can expect to purchase it from March 25th and those in Asda from March 27th.
