“Did you cancel Breakaway for THIS?” smoke fans as Nestle launches a new bar
CHOCOLATE fans have gone into panic after seeing the new Nestlé chocolate bar hitting stores this month.
After the chocolatiers confirmed they were axing two favorite chocolate bars, it seems fans aren't happy with the new replacement, the Blue Riband Hazelnut.
Nestle confirmed last week that it was discontinuing both its Breakaway and Yorkie cookie bars after a drop in sales, which was a blow to sweet-tooth fans.
The Breakaway bar, first introduced in 1970, will no longer be produced from March.
Meanwhile, Yorkie cookie bars, not to be confused with Yorkie chocolate bars, have already been phased out.
At the same time, the chocolatier announced that fans would soon see a new chocolate bar on store shelves.
Nestle said: “A new cookie coming to the market is Blue Riband Hazelnut.”
“It's the delicious Blue Riband bar that people know and love, with a soft hazelnut filling between the wafers.”
“Available in UK supermarket shelves from February.”
Fans took to social media to mourn the loss of the recently discontinued Breakaway and Yorkie cookie bars, with many shunning the new Blue Riband bar.
One user said: “They removed the escapes for this.”
Another said: “No…you get rid of Breakaway and bring this??? Not on!”
However, not all fans were disappointed to see the new reveal. Many said they were excited to try the new bar.
A third user said: “Thanks Nestle for the new hazelnut bar.”
The Blue Riband Hazelnut is now available in Asda for £1.05 per 6 x 18g bar.
The bar will be available in stores and online, although prices may vary from store to store.
Shoppers can also get their hands on a newly launched Kitkat Chunky White Lotus and Aero Choco Hazelnut bar from this month.
Nestle fans may still be reeling from the heartbreaking news that 60-year-old Caramac bars have also been axed.
So it's no surprise that fans have been looking for recently discontinued chocolate bars.
Milky Way's crispy buns have been spotted back on store shelves and fans can hardly believe it.
