Mars has revealed whether or not fans can expect the return of its popular discontinued White Chocolate Maltesers.
The confectionery company is responsible for a range of popular chocolates including M&Ms, Snickers, Skittles and of course Mars bars.
But not all of its products hang around forever.
A number of Mars chocolates have been discontinued over the years as its range continued to develop.
Fans call for return of discontinued Maltesers chocolate
White Chocolate Maltesers were first launched by Mars Wrigley in the UK back in 2003.
However, the chocolates were discontinued in 2014 due to "low sales", according to Sky News.
Ten years later fans are still distraught about the axing of the Maltesers chocolate, calling on Mars to bring it back.
One fan on X (formerly Twitter) said: "@MaltesersUK bring back the white chocolate Maltesers please."
Another person posted: "Had a dream last night that white chocolate maltesers were back and I bought a whole crate of them."
A third person commented: "Whoever made the final decision to discontinue white chocolate maltesers is my eternal arch-nemesis."
I don’t think I’ll ever forgive Mars for discontinuing the white chocolate Maltesers

While another chocolate lover said: "White chocolate Maltesers (now sadly discontinued) were clear of any other chocolate..."
