Not had one for years. Seemed changed and cheaper somehow. More powdery than caramely.
Also was gone in like two bites. Sure, I'm bigger now, but they're much smaller too.
I'll stick to Mars bars instead, at least they're nothing to do with Nestlé.
Although would you really class it as "chocolate"? 🤷
It’s the same family as white chocolate, which is to say it’s basically condensed milk with cocoa butter…
Slightly aside I was at glasto one year watching Iggy Pop and from nowhere there was a crowd onstage with a Wispa banner. They brought back Wispa fairly soon after, as it had been discontinued as it was shit
If you were still buying them you're part of the problem. Fuck Nestle.
As someone who has never heard of this, I'm going to assume this chocolate bar is filled with caramel and macaroni.
Correct. Don't knock it until you've tried it.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Chocolate lovers say they are heartbroken after Nestlé announced the axing of the iconic Caramac bar.
After more than 60 years as a staple on confectionary shelves, Nestlé revealed on Wednesday it was axing the caramel treats.
“We know fans will be disappointed to see it go, but this change will enable us to focus on our best-performing brands, as well as develop exciting new innovations to delight our consumers’ tastebuds.”
Taking to social media to share their upset, Caramac lovers hoped the news wasn’t true.
“So it’s a sad day, it’s official, there will be no more Caramac bars off the production line, it’s been cancelled so I bought as many boxes as I could,” they wrote.
Chocolate lovers shouldn’t be too disheartened though - some bars that have been previously ‘axed’ made it back it the shelves, including Wispas.
