While you may be spoiled for choice next time you pick up a chocolate bar from your corner shop, there are a number of once-beloved sweet treats that no longer grace our supermarket shelves. These may have had their reasons for being discontinued, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t missed by chocolate lovers.
From delicious treats that were the predecessors to some of our favourite chocolates today, to others that have just disappeared, never to be seen again, there are plenty of nostalgic sweets that we’d love to get our hands on just one more time. Here are seven of the most-missed chocolate bars. Let us know in the comments if we’ve missed any of your favourites!
Texan Bar
Once voted Britain’s favourite chocolate, the Texan certainly stood out on the shelves during its heyday in the 1970s and 1980s.
Despite its popularity, this nougat and toffee bar was removed from shelves towards the end of the 80s. Brought back for a brief return in 2005, Nestlé once again discontinued the bar, and it has yet to return for a second time.

Terry’s Pyramint
Famed for their chocolate orange, Terry’s also used to produce the Pyramint. A minty chocolate treat, in the shape of the Egyptian pyramids.
Launched in the 1980s, the Pyramint only had a short stint, being scrapped in the 90s – not quite as successful as the popular chocolate orange, which has been going strong since the 1930s.

Caramac
Caramac bars were discontinued after 64 years in 2023, and despite a brief return to shelves in 2024, they’ve remained gone ever since.
Announcing the sad news back in 2023, Nestlé said: “Unfortunately, we had to withdraw Caramac from our range as sales were relatively low. It was a difficult decision for us because we’re proud of all our products and don’t like to disappoint our consumers. We hope you can understand why we took this decision.”
