Aldi has apologised after confirming it has discontinued a chocolate bar described by fans as "literally the best ever".
Aldi is the fourth-largest supermarket in the UK, and consumer champion Which? has named it the UK’s cheapest supermarket for the past three years (and for every month so far in 2024).
Several big name brands have discontinued products in 2024 including the likes of Walkers Crisps, Cadbury and Coca-Cola.
Walkers revealed earlier this year it had stopped making Marmite-flavoured crisps.
This came after the likes of Salt and Vinegar Quavers, Worcester sauce flavour and Max Strong Hotsauce Blaze crisps were axed from its range at the back end of 2023.
Cadbury has also discontinued several products in 2024 including its Festive Friends Chocolate Biscuits, a decision which fans said had "ruined" Christmas.
While Coca-Cola recently confirmed Coca-Cola Cherry Vanilla and Diet Coke with Splenda had both been discontinued.
