Brits have been left heartbroken after Mars confirmed a Galaxy Easter chocolate has been discontinued.
Mars Wrigley is responsible for brands including Galaxy, Celebrations, M&Ms, Maltesers and Twix.
Easter is usually a chocolate lovers favourite time of year with so many varieties available to choose from.
We've already seen the introduction of a number of new chocolates in the lead up to Easter 2024 including a new white chocolate Creme Egg Easter Egg from Cadbury.
Nestle have also recently released several new products including two Aero bars and a white chocolate KitKat.
