It's crunch time for Quality Street fans, as for the second time in two years, the brand have axed the much loved Toffee Deluxe - and it's safe to say that customers are less than impressed with the dismissal of the chocolately treat. A replacement sweet has been announced, however fans are not feeling it (or should we say, tasting it?)
Quality Street took to their Twitter earlier today (17th May) to confirm the news to fans, writing, 'There's no plans for it return this time.' Many fans responded immediately, with one even referring to the move as a 'travesty'.
One fan even added, 'This has ruined my Friday tbh🙄' sic. Hasn't it just...
The sweet treat is reportedly being replaced with a new Chocolate Caramel brownie flavour, but we don't advise getting your hopes up too soon, as many avid chocolatiers have complained that the snack is significantly lacking in brownie, leaving us with a primarily caramel filling.
This isn't the first time the Toffee Deluxe, which was one of the originals when Quality Street launched in 1936, has hit a snag in the road - being removed from the box back in 2016. They ended up bring the flavour back just in time for Christmas a year later.
A spokesperson for Nestle said, "Well, we know we got your attention the last time we dropped the Toffee Deluxe so couldn’t resist trying it again."
Swipe to reminisce some Chocolate bars that have been discontinued...
1) Dairy Milk Tiffin
After being off the shelves for years, Tiffin made its comeback in 2016. Hallelujah!

21) Flyte
Forget Maltesers, this really was a lighter way to enjoy chocolate.
1) Dairy Milk Tiffin
After being off the shelves for years, Tiffin made its comeback in 2016. Hallelujah!
2) Cadbury Coconut Boost
The core centre made up of dessicated coconut combined with a normal Boost bar was just too good - why on EARTH was this masterpiece ever taken out of circulation?!
3) Mars Delight
That caramel and chocolate cream filling mixed with that wafer, was a pure delight. Sadly, we despite people's efforts, this Mars chocolate bar won't be returning anytime soon.
4) Cadbury Marble
Milk and white chocolate AND praline in one bar? Yup. Cadbury's really are one of the best at coming up with new recipes.
5) Cadbury Spira
Two fingers of Dairy Milk with chocolate spiralling around the outside... YUM.
6) Time Out
The Time Out was very slyly taken off the shelves - basically a chocolate wafer, but SO MUCH MORE. Thankfully, they still exist in shops as a single wafer.
7) Cadbury Snow Flake
The geniuses at Cadbury decided to merge their white Dream chocolate with the standard flake to create utter perfection in this little bar. But why, oh why, did they stop making them?!
8) Rowntree's Cabana
Coconut, caramel, cherries and chocolate – the ultimate tropical chocolate bar, right?
9) Trio
TRIO! TRIOOOO! I want Trio and I want one now!
10) Cadbury Dream
Possibly one of the best additions to the Heroes tin at Christmas.
11) Cadbury Fuse
Nuts, raisins, fudge and cereal pieces all in one chocolate bar?! It's years since we last saw a Fuse bar around. Sob.
12) Terry's Pyramint
Basically, a pyramid version of an After Eight but with a slightly sloppier middle. We miss these!
13) KitKat Senses
We can't for the life of us think why these went extinct. But they've been refashioned in a selection box, so that's something at least.
14) Milkybar Choo
We're hoping this one will make a comeback. The strange combination of white chocolate and fudge worked surprisingly perfectly.
15) Cadbury Taz Bar
When Taz became extinct, this chocolate bar was revolutionised as a Freddo bar with caramel. But we miss that devil.
16) Twix Top
This was the highlight of our school packed lunches... Anyone else?!
17) Cadbury Snaps
They're like Pringles - but chocolate. And just like our favourite snack, you couldn't ever just have one Snap!
18) Rowntree's Secret
Withdrawn due to low sales volumes, the marshmallow centre wrapped in thick chocolate was a real treat back in the day.
19) Cadbury Wispa Mint
We've all had a Wispa, haven't we? But the mint version had an extra edge to it that was just simply divine. Sigh.
20) Texan
The mighty chew.

He did, however, continue, "But seriously, everybody’s got a favourite Quality Street and the assortment has changed a lot over the years.
"Every now and then we like to introduce new exciting flavours to the mix and are certain that our delicious chocolate caramel brownie will be a hit for 2019."
It will be sadly missed 🍫
