SHOPPERS are going wild for rare Snickers chocolate last seen on supermarket shelves over a decade ago.

Eagle-eyed shoppers were shocked to see Snickers chocolate wafers back on supermarket shelves.

Writing on the Snack Reviews Facebook page, one happy customer shared the news and said shoppers could pick up at their local convenience stores.

Others were quick to chime in and share their excitement, with one fan saying they “needed one”.

While others were not so impressed, saying they tried the treat and it tasted “rank”.

The chocolate features a combination of chocolate, peanuts, and caramel in a wafer form.

It is similar to the Galaxy Flute chocolate which made a return to supermarket shelves after a near 12 year hiatus.

The 22.5g crispy wafer roll is packed with smooth vanilla cream and coated in Galaxy’s signature silky milk chocolate.

The snack is available to buy at Farmfoods.

For those who can’t make it to Farmfoods, a pack of 12 (22.5g bars) is available on Discount Dragon for £5.99 – saving £6.01 off the RRP of £12.

But do bear in mind delivery fees when shopping online.

It’s not the only nostalgic chocolate making a comeback in recent times.

Milky Way Crispy Rolls returned last month after it was discontinued three years ago.

The delight, which combines crispy wafer, a soft centre and smooth milk chocolate coating, is now being sold at supermarkets such Sainsbury’s and Tesco.

The range has also expanded to include Bounty and Twix flavoured versions of the snack.

The treats have been available at all major supermarkets since February 1.

WHAT OTHER DISCONTINUED CHOC IS COMING BACK

It’s not the first time shoppers have been rushing to their nearest store to pick up a returning discontinued chocolate.

B&M shopper were shocked to see Perky Nanas, usually only seen in New Zeland, are now being sold at the discount store for just £1.

The soft banana-flavoured 45g chew bar comes covered with Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate.

The retailer also sparked excitement among chocaholics last year after bringing back Cadbury Fuse Mini Treats.

Sweet-toothed customers were quick to post the find on Facebook after realising it was a rehash of the full bar sold in the mid-2000s.

In July, Nestle brought back the iconic Caramac bar in three forms after axing the chocolate the previous November.

The chocolatier said it had taken the “difficult decision” to drop the sweet snack due to low sales.

Elsewhere, shoppers were shocked to see the Dairy Milk Marble bar back on B&M shelves last month.

It features milk chocolate and white chocolate blended together and filled with a hazelnut praline centre.

The Dairy Milk variation continued to be sold in Australia after it was axed in the UK, so this appears to be an import.
