A beloved Quality Street flavour is making a return to shelves after four years of being removed from the popular selection of chocolates.

The Honeycomb Crunch was axed in 2018 amid a controversial shake-up of the celebratory chocolate tins by Nestle, the company behind the brand.

Four years ago, a spokesperson said of the decision: "The Quality Street assortment has never been static," adding: "The Honeycomb crunch was a new sweet added to celebrate our 80th birthday celebrations back in 2016.

"It’s still available as part of a single chocolate bar for this year but won’t appear in tubs and tins.

This year’s assortment still features 12 classic and much loved Quality Street sweets and we have taken the opportunity to add more of the sweets we know are people’s favourites."

Recently, the company reversed this move but with one major caveat.

Honeycomb Crunch returns to Quality Street with one catch

The much-missed chocolate is returning to fans but will only be available in selected John Lewis stores across the country.

The returning chocolate will only be available in 18 John Lewis pick n' mix stations throughout the UK, allowing shoppers to select their own Quality Street assortment.

There are 12 types to choose from with customers being allowed to fill a whole 1.2kg box for £14.

Fans looking for a second helping will also be able to refill their tins for £10 but must have an exclusive John Lewis box.
