Toblerone Fans Devastated as Dark Chocolate Version Discontinued
A spokesperson for Mondelez, the manufacturer of Toblerone, has confirmed that the dark chocolate version of the iconic Swiss treat will be discontinued in the UK. The news has left fans of the beloved chocolate bar reeling, with many taking to social media to express their disappointment.
According to GB News, the decision to discontinue Toblerone Dark bars in the UK was made by Mondelez, despite its popularity among chocolate lovers. A spokesman for the firm said: "While we understand that this may be disappointing for some consumers, we continue to invest in Toblerone."
The Toblerone Dark bar features honey and almond nougat and has been described by fans as the "best" chocolate available. One reviewer was quoted on GB News as saying: "This is possibly the best chocolate, if you can eat almonds and nougat with dark chocolate."
Customers have been scouring shops for months trying to hunt down the beloved treat, with many taking to social media in desperate attempts to source the discontinued bar. On X, one person messaged Toblerone directly, asking: "Hi has dark chocolate Toblerone been discontinued in the UK as unable to find in shops or online?" Another wrote on Facebook: "Does anyone know selling mini dark toblerone I can get a mixed bag but only like the dark ones."
The news has also led to a surge in online sales, with those lucky enough to find remaining stock selling multi-packs on Amazon for up to £25. Fans can still purchase milk and white chocolate versions of the bar, which remain available in most supermarkets and airport duty-free sections.
In contrast to Toblerone’s disappointing news, Caramac chocolate bars have made a triumphant return to UK stores. The caramel-based product, which was discontinued by Nestlé in 2023 after more than 60 years in production, is now available at Heron Foods stores nationwide. This comeback follows a brief limited run last year after Nestlé initially axed the product, calling it a "difficult decision" at the time.
Fans have expressed their delight on the Hot Deals UK site, with one commenter describing it as "Heaven in a bar. Just wonderful. I don’t have one for ages, then I get one and remember just how great they are." With over 340 Heron Foods stores across the UK, fans have a good chance of finding the chocolate bar. However, it remains unclear how long Caramac will remain available, so enthusiasts are advised to stock up while they can.
The discontinuation of Toblerone Dark bars serves as a reminder that popular products can be vulnerable to changing consumer preferences and manufacturing decisions. As chocolate lovers come to terms with the loss of their beloved treat, many will be keeping a close eye on GB News for further updates on this story.
For those looking for alternatives, there are still many delicious chocolate options available in the UK. However, for fans of Toblerone Dark, the news is sure to be a bitter pill to swallow. As one disappointed fan lamented: "Cannot purchase this these local my husband loves plain chocolate so this are a great treat." Another added: "Really hard to find these now loved them."
As the news continues to sink in, fans of Toblerone Dark will be hoping that Mondelez will reconsider its decision or release a limited-edition run in the future. Until then, they will have to make do with the milk and white chocolate versions or explore other chocolate options.
