16 lost chocolate bars we miss from the shelves and want back — one was named 'UK's favourite ever'
There's so many we loved and lost
How can a chocolate bar go from being named Britain's favourite chocolate to discontinued? It's just one of the many questions you'll be asking yourself as you wonder how any of these once-famous chocolate bars disappeared from our shelves.
While the divisive Bounty lives on, seemingly unscathed by its army of critics, some absolutely belting chocolate bars have lost their battle for survival. From the long-departed like the Spira to the more recently-departed like the Caramac and Animal Bar, you're to have fond memories of some of these bars, in your mind and on your taste buds.
If we've missed any you think should be on here, please let us know in the comments. In the meantime, you can look back at the lost restaurant chain which sold £6 steaks and 75p cheesecakes and 11 things you saw at McDonald's in the 1990s that would blow minds today.
In November last year, Nestle revealed it was discontinuing Animal chocolate bars from its range of products after more than 60 years due to declining sales. However, they have since been spotted on sale at B&M

Rowntree's has had many loved products since it was founded in 1881. And many will have fond memories of the "nutty, crunchy. chewy" Nux bar. A chocolate bar filled with peanuts, toffee and nougat, kids of the 50s and 60 will remember the Nux coming in a red wrapper. The full-cream milk chocolate bar was discontinued not long after, but it is still remembered for its taste and famous TV adverts.

Terry’s – famous for its Chocolate Orange – also used to make Pyramint. The dark chocolate Egyptian pyramid shape had a minty middle. The chunky treat first came onto our shelves in the 1980s. But sadly, Pyramint has not been seen since the 1990s.

The Spira had a distinctive spiral shape and was produced by Cadbury's.. Sold from around the mid-80s, it was first launched in the north west of England before being rolled out to the rest of the country. Like a Twirl bar, there were two fingers in each pack but the chocolate bar formed a hollow twisted spiral. It was discontinued back in 2005.
