We\u2019re no strangers to having our favourite chocolate bars<\/a> taken away from us in the UK \u2014 from the Cadbury Dream to Mars Delight<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But one that really hit us hard was Caramac<\/strong>, when Nestl\u00e9 axed it in 2023<\/a> after producing it for more than 60 years.<\/p>\n

The caramel-based product was hailed as \u2018the best ever\u2019 chocolate bar and fans were left in tears by the news it had been discontinued<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Nestl\u00e9 admitted it had been a \u2018difficult decision\u2019 and ultimately made a bit of a U-turn last year when they brought the product back<\/a> for a very limited run. However, all too soon it was gone from the shops again.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s good news for those who have been missing their fix of the sweet treat though as shoppers have spotted it\u2019s available to buy in the UK once more.<\/p>\n

Where to buy Caramac bars in the UK<\/h2>\n

Heron Foods is currently selling the chocolate bar in packs of three for just \u00a31 \u2013 and with more than 340 stores nationwide, you\u2019ll likely be able to nab yourself some.<\/p>\n

Unsurprisingly, people are thrilled to see the axed item make a comeback, with shoppers on the Hot Deals UK site sharing their thoughts on the find.<\/p>\n

A commenter known as NewForestMonkeyBrains said: \u2018Heaven in a bar. Just wonderful. I don\u2019t have one for ages, then I get one and remember just how great they are.\u2019<\/p>\n

As dappodan1 wrote: \u2018Caramac is like crack, very moreish.\u2019 And wonderingstar shared: \u2018I love Caramac, it reminds me of my childhood.\u2019<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not known how long the chocolate bars will be around for this time, so you\u2019ll likely want to stock up while you can if you\u2019ve been missing your fix.<\/p>\n

Cadbury Caramilk is said to be a \u2018top tier\u2019 alternative to the discontinued treat (Picture: Tesco\/Cadbury)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

For those who aren\u2019t able to get to a Heron Foods store, don\u2019t panic as Cadbury<\/a> fans have suggested an alternative product that\u2019s a \u2018top tier\u2019 replacement<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Tesco<\/a> shoppers claim Cadbury Caramilk, which launched in the UK in 2021, shares similarities with the discontinued favourite.<\/p>\n

The chocolate is described as \u2018a golden blend of Cadbury white chocolate and caramelised milk powder developed for the UK & Ireland\u2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Cadbury adds: \u2018The result is a smooth golden caramel chocolate flavour. One bite is all it takes to be converted. Made with sustainably sourced cocoa. Vegetarian friendly.\u2019<\/p>\n

A number of Caramac lovers say they have been \u2018converted\u2019, including Andy Nevans who posted on Facebook, saying: \u2018For folk like myself who were dismayed\u00a0 at the news that Caramac was no longer being made.\u2019<\/p>\n

While @BarleylandsShop said Caramilk is \u2018like the yummy Caramac that\u2019s not here anymore.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n

And @JimOFlynn6 posted: \u2018I\u2019ve just been in Tesco and bought the new Cadbury Caramilk and it\u2019s the same as Caramac if not better.\u2019<\/p>\n
