Full list of shops where you can buy Caramac as it returns to shelves for a limited time
Nestle has confirmed it’s bringing back the iconic Caramac chocolate bar in three varieties, after pulling it from shelves last year.
Shoppers can get their hands on a classic single bar, three-bar multi-pack and sharing bag of buttons.
Nestlé said the Retail Recommended Prices for the varieties are 75p, £1.65 and £1.65 respectively.
But the chocolate is back for a limited time only, so you’ll have to be quick.
Where will Caramac be sold?
Caramac is currently available at the following stores:
- B&M
- Iceland
- Spar
- Wholesale and convenience retailers nationwide
Over the coming months, it will also be rolled out to these additional stores:
Shoppers didn’t take long to react on Facebook and X after discovering the caramel-flavoured chocolate is making a comeback.
One said: “Amazing where can I find this.”
Another added: “Never been so happy about a chocolate bar!!”
And a third simply put it: “Give it to me now.”
But not everyone was so positive, with several customers questioning why Nestlé had not brought it back on a permanent basis.
One said: “What was the point in getting rid if there now back for a limited time. Either get rid or leave them out.”
Another added: “Forget limited time bring it back permanently. Otherwise the Cadbury Caramilk has won!!”
And a third commented: “Bring it back forever. It’s a solid chocolate bar and you’re missing out by removing it. Caramilk’s got nothing on Caramac.”
It comes after Nestlé confirmed in November last year that it had axed the Caramac bar, first launched in the late 1950s, due to “low sales“.
Shoppers reacted with devastation after finding out the classic chocolate bar would be dropped.
It’s not the first time in recent months chocolate lovers have been left buzzing after their favourite bar made a comeback.
Cadbury confirmed it had brought back a “yummy” 90s chocolate bar after giving it a makeover last month.
One of the nation’s favourite chocolate brands announced it would relaunch its Top Deck bar across the UK.
Cadbury said the the much-loved bar, which first launched in 1993, would only be returning to shelves for a limited time though.
Earlier this month, shoppers were going wild after a bar first launched in the 1970s made its way back on to shelves.
Nestlé relaunched a strawberry-flavoured Aero bar in April but some shoppers had only just started realising.
Posting on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains Facebook Group, one said: “Had this in the 70s, glad it’s back!”
Another added: “They were my fave as a kid… stock up cos they will disappear again soon!”
A third said: “Too moreish ate it in one sitting.”
Poundland shoppers have been left rushing to buy a chocolate bar that was axed by Mars two years ago too.
Customers have been snapping up the MilkyWay Crispy Rolls after spotting them on shelves.
How to save money on chocolate
WE all love a bit of chocolate from now and then, but you don't have to break the bank buying your favourite bar.
Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how to cut costs…
Go own brand – if you’re not too fussed on flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you’ll save by going for supermarket’s own brand bars.
Shop around – if you’ve spotted your favourite variety at the supermarket, make sure you check if it’s cheaper elsewhere.
Websites like Trolley.co.uk let you compare prices on products across all the major chains to see if you’re getting the best deal.
Look out for yellow stickers – supermarket staff put yellow, and sometimes orange and red, stickers on to products to show they’ve been reduced.
They usually do this if the product is coming to the end of its best before date or the packaging is slightly damaged.
Buy bigger bars – most of the time, but not always, chocolate is cheaper per 100g the larger the bar.
So if you’ve got the appetite, and you were going to buy a hefty amount of chocolate anyway, you might as well go bigger.
