Many Britons are familiar with the heartbreak of having their favourite chocolate disappear from the supermarket shelves, with brands regularly trimming down their offerings to make way for new ones.

And it’s now been revealed which chocolatey treats of past Christmases Britons would love to return in their ‘dream’ selection box tub.

A survey, conducted by Jackpotjoy of 2,000 British adults, found 8 per cent would love to see the Cadbury Dream, a plain white chocolate bar that is currently only available to buy in B&M, return in miniature form.

Meanwhile other Britons revealed they were craving the Echo bar, as well as the Mars Delight.

The revelations came as fans of Cadbury’s Twirl were left baffled after noticing the mini bars have been swapped out for two full-sized alternatives in this year’s Heroes tubs.

Retro chocolates Cadbury Astros and Cadbury Fuse also made it onto the most missed list of chocolate

In September, Cadbury’s announced a major shake-up to their festive offerings ahead of Christmas due to ongoing supply-chain issues.

Instead of having several miniature bitesize Twirl bars, the brand has instead opted or two full-size versions instead in a percentage of tubs.

Although Cadbury’s has not revealed what is causing the supply chain issues, the brand had trouble keeping up with demand for Flakes this summer after deciding to have most of the chocolate produced in a factory near Cairo, Egypt.

A spokesman for Mondelez – the company that owns Cadbury – said: ‘To ensure we can continue to bring our loyal consumers the products they know and love, we have temporarily substituted bitesize Cadbury Twirl in Heroes Tubs, to the slightly larger Cadbury Twirl 21g. This is across a small percentage of tubs produced.

Kit Kat Caramac bars were first bought out as a limited edition chocolate in 2005 and were bought back in 2007 due popular demand

Fox’s Echo Bar was extremely popular in the early 2000s. Many people have asked for its return to the supermarket shelves

‘Rest-assured consumers can enjoy the same amount of chocolate as before with the overall weight of the product remaining the same.’

However, that hasn’t stopped fans from expressing their confusion over the swap on Twitter – with many saying they prefer their bitesized versions.

One Twitter user, who purchased a tub of Heroes in September, said: ‘What is the score with Cadbury Hero’s?

‘Opened up a tub and have Two full size Twirl bars, not a single small one in sight. Is there a national shortage of them?’

Another fumed: ‘Excuse me, why is there a normal size twirl in my box of Heroes!?’
