The 'Elite' fresh flavor is set to RETURN after being discontinued by Walkers
An 'elite' crisps flavor could be returning to store shelves and fans can barely contain their excitement.
Marmite makers have hinted that Marmite chips could be on their way soon, just days after Walkers announced it would no longer produce its version.
The Sun exclusively revealed that Walkers had discontinued the Marmite crisp flavor at the end of last year.
The 20-year fresh flavor has slowly disappeared from shelves and fans have been devastated.
Marmite is owned by Unilever and the brands produce their own range of Marmite flavored snacks.
Cheese lovers can get cheddar cheese and Marmite bites, which is British Ilchester cheddar mixed with Marmite and comes in a pack of five for £1.50.
Fans can also get baked Marmite cashews, we found a 90g bag for £2.50 on Ocado.
But it seems crisp lovers needn't be disappointed as Marmite has hinted that its own crisp brand may be in the works.
The brand shared a Facebook and Instagram post showing a hand holding a single potato chip.
Marmite said: “Soon…”
It's no surprise that there was a buzz on both social media platforms with thousands of likes and hundreds of comments.
One Facebook user said: “I would like to see Marmite Pringles!”
Another said: “Marmite, you save the day! My mother will be so happy! I tried to buy her a box before the old version disappears, thank you, thank you.
“Excellent!! I'm all in,” said a third user.
One Instagram user claimed the product would be: “Perfect with a cheese sandwich.”
“Bring it on!” said someone else.
A third user exclaimed: “Oh my god, yes.”
The Sun has contacted Marmite for comment and will update this story as soon as we receive more information.

If you're a snack lover, it's worth noting that there are quite a few chips that Walkers has discontinued in recent months.
The snack maker apologized to Walkers lovers who said they couldn't find their favorite Smiths Cheese Moments crisps anywhere.
In October, Walkers axed its hugely popular Worcester sauce flavor and fans claimed “their sandwiches were ruined”.
Fans also said goodbye to Max Fiercely Flamin Hot chips and the Beef and Onion flavor in November.
Last month, Walkers discontinued Sensations Regal Lamb and Mint chips.
