Quality Street bosses risk chocolate lovers’ wrath by refusing to bring back beloved Toffee Deluxe sweet other than in limited edition Christmas tins
It looks like it's all going to kick off, just months after the much-loved choc was mourned by sweetie lovers across the world
QUALITY Street fans will be delighted to hear that the scrapped Toffee Deluxe is BACK - but not for long.
The much-loved choc was mourned by sweetie lovers across the world when bosses revealed it was going to be replaced with the new Honeycomb Crunch.
News of its departure from the classic Christmas tin sparked furious backlash from chocolate lovers in September - and it looks like it's going to kick off again with Brits up in arms over changes to our favourite festive treats.
This month we've already been hit with Tobleronegate and Maltesergate as manufacturers made the choccies smaller.

The Honeycomb Crunch HAS permanently replaced the Toffee Deluxe in the standard Quality Street tub, but chiefs have revealed the Toffee Deluxe is making a comeback in a Limited Edition tin, exclusive to Tesco throughout December.
But it's not the only way to get your hands on the Toffee Deluxe, as it is also included in the dedicated Quality Street Toffees & Fudges tin.
A spokesperson for Quality Street said: "We’re incredibly excited to welcome the new Honeycomb Crunch, and were amazed by the response on social media when the cat was let out of the ‘purple’ bag, and people heard it would be replacing Toffee Deluxe in the standard tub.
"We hope people enjoy the new Honeycomb Crunch sweet and want to reassure Toffee Deluxe lovers that they can still find their favourite Quality Street sweet this Christmas."
Chocolate lovers were up in arms when it was revealed in September that the Honeycomb Crunch would replace the Toffee Deluxe, making it the first new sweet to join the tin in eight years.
The discarded Toffee Deluxe consisted of a thin layer of chocolate with a block of toffee underneath.
It was created by chocolatiers John and Violet MacIntosh in 1919 by mixing hard toffee with runny caramel and it was the first sweet of its kind.
Just days ago Mars reduced the size of Maltesers and Galaxy Counters sharing bags.
The Maltesers “pouch” sized bags, which are designed for sharing, have reduced from 135g to 121g, while the Galaxy Counters have shrunk from 126g to 112g.
And earlier this month Toblerone faced furious backlash from customers after changing the shape of their distinctive chocolate bars.
Manufacturers increased the gap between the peaks to reduce the weight of the 400g and 170g bars, which led to thousands of angry customers complaining on social media.
