5 scrumptious chocolate bars you can't get any more after one icon made a comeback

Milky Way Crispy Rolls returned to stores this year after being axed in 2022, but some other popular treats have never made it back.
Chocolate fans were delighted earlier this year after a popular snack returned to shelves three years after being discontinued. Shoppers stocked up on Milky Way Crispy Rolls as they returned to UK supermarkets in February.
After the tasty treat was axed in 2022, sparking outrage and even petitions to bring it back, foodies were taking no chances of losing out again and made sure they packed their cupboards with cylindrical wafer snacks.
‌
But some chocoholics have been left with a bittersweet taste in their mouths, as the return of the crispy rolls reminds them of certain other fan favourites that have been discontinued over the years and sadly never made it back to our stores.
‌
And much like the Milky Way wafer spin-off, many of these are quirky versions of more classic confections. That may be why they don't last forever, but it doesn't stop Brits moaning about it, The Mirror reports.
Over the years, we have certainly lost some of the finest examples of offshoot chocolate bars. And while we can't list them all, below are five of the very best that are gone but not forgotten.
Mars Delight
While Milky Way's wafery treat has made its return, the same can't be said for the Mars Delight. The scrumptious confection contained the filling of a normal Mars bar, but it was spiralled around a crispy wafer and covered in chocolate.
This lighter version of the classic bar was a proper fan favourite. One person, posting on X, formerly Twitter, said: 'Feel like pure s***, just want Mars Delight back.'
‌
Cadbury Snowflake
Flakes are not only a tasty treat, they're also a challenge. It can sometimes feel less about eating and more about trying to stop it crumbling all over your clothes.
But it's usually worth the risk for the delicious delicacy, and when Cadbury put a white-chocolate spin on it with the Snowflake - it definitely was.
‌
The popular bar even featured in a celebrity wedding. TV presenter Anthea Turner and businessman Grant Bovey posed with the chocolate bar for a photoshoot with OK! magazine on their big day in 2000.
A Cadbury spokesperson admitted the company had supplied the chocolates to the happy couple but had not insisted that they were included in photos. The couple divorced in 2015.
‌
Taz
Okay, okay. We know that a Taz bar is basically just a caramel Freddo and those are still available.
But who wants a second version of the frog on their chocolate wrapper when they could get an iconic Looney Tunes character?!
The spluttering, spinning, short-tempered cartoon character disappeared from the Cadbury chocolate and was replaced by a re-skinned Freddo. To us, they'll always be Taz bars.
‌
Wonka Bars
Originally thought up to tie in with the 2005 film Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, there was a time around the Johnny Depp movie when you could buy real-life Wonka bars.
They looked pretty much like the ones from the film with their bright pink colour and bold branding. They also came in a variety of different flavours.
‌
They were axed due to dwindling popularity and have since been replaced in the quirky chocolate bar stakes by Cadbury's outlandish Marvellous Creations bars, which have been a suitable substitute.
But there was something pretty magical about feeling like you'd received a chocolate bar from Willy Wonka himself, even if it didn't come with a golden ticket.
Terry's Pyramint
Picture a Terry's Chocolate Orange with the taste of an After Eight, mixed with the aesthetic of The Crystal Maze. Confused? We're not surprised.
The Pyramint might not even be classed as a chocolate bar. And it's probably not first in line for a return to stories, but its unique style gets it a place on this list ahead of other, more established favourites.
According to food website Delish, the Pyramint was discontinued due to falling demand. Admittedly it's not hard to see why, but a place in snack folklore is the least it deserves.

Coronation Street star teases 'big' scenes ahead amid dangerous drugs plot

Coronation Street's Summer Spellman actress Harriet Bibby has revealed all about the ITV soap's LSD storyline, while she teased to The Mirror 'big' scenes are on the way One Coronation Street star has promised "big" scenes ahead on the ITV soap in the coming months. Summer Spellman actress Harriet Bibby spoke exclusively to The Mirror about the upcoming storylines for her character. She also teased the 65th anniversary plans for later this year, and the big Emmerdale crossover airing in 2026. ‌ After months of not being onscreen much, Harriet explained to us that she was having a quieter year following the huge and emotional 2024 storyline, that saw Summer's father figure Paul Foreman die after battling motor neurone disease. Summer featured heavily in this storyline, with lots of difficult scenes for actress Harriet. ‌ Often in soaps when a character features in a massive storyline, they tend to then go quiet which is what has happened with Summer. But that's all about to change as next week, she takes centre stage once more. This time, Summer and other characters are caught up in a drugs storyline, as three characters take LSD at a house party. What follows is a dramatic and devastating sequence of events. Teasing more from Summer ahead, Harriet told us: "I've had a quieter year this year after the big storyline with Paul last year. It was brilliant, we loved doing it even though every day we were in tears. "We will be seeing more of Summer in the coming months." Harriet also teased the big stuff on the way, saying: "I'm really excited about the crossover. It's never been done before. It will be fun and a little different. "I am hoping to be a part of it but we have no idea. I'd love to meet the Dingles." When asked about the 65th, she said: "I'm the worst person to ask, everything you're asking me I'm asking the bosses! It will be something big though." ‌ As for the huge drugs storyline that is coming up, Harriet teased what the fallout will be with it clear something has happened, and that Summer and pal Nina Lucas have been witnesses to something while high. Revealing "the night takes a turn", she teased: "Even with no drugs in their system they'd be feeling really shocked, upset and concerned about what's just happened. "So times that by 10 with the LSD they've got in their system and they're distraught. They're really worried and really scared about what's just happened." Harriet went on: "They figure out that they've witnessed something. "They have different opinions on what to do with this and it causes a little bit of friction between them. Nina thinks they should tell someone and report it whereas Summer is more convinced that they don't know what they've seen because they were affected by the LSD so there's no point in reporting anything as they don't know for sure that something happened. "They're very confused by what they think they saw because they're unsure about what was reality and what was not." On the future impact of the huge plot, she shared: "I think when you find yourselves in quite dangerous situations, and it's not just Summer and Nina who are affected, you look back and think that was a really stupid idea. It affects a lot of different people in different ways and it could have been avoided if these drugs were not at the party."

Livvy Dunne stuns fans with sexual reference about herself and Madelyn Cline

Livvy Dunne is a former gymnast and model who is best known for her relationship with baseball star Paul Skenes - and she left fans shocked on Friday with a social media post Livvy Dunne, sent social media into a frenzy on Friday with a risqué comment concerning herself and actress Madelyn Cline. The former LSU gymnast is known for her bikini snaps on social media - as well as dating Pittsburgh Pirates star Paul Skenes - but boasts a relatively clean-cut image. Not this time however. While she may usually be reserved in her interactions with fans, one comment on Friday was quite a departure from the norm. ‌ The interaction began when a Twitter user referred to the upcoming College World Series between LSU and Coastal Carolina as the 'Madelyn Cline vs Livvy Dunne Bowl' - due to the duo's affiliations with the rival schools. ‌ The relatively innocent comment then took a turn into an unexpected direction when Dunne responded: 'Gooner World Series'. Her followers were left stunned. One response declared: "Had to check three times this wasn't a parody account". A second questioned the reference by the gymnastics star turned Sports Ilustrated cover model, declaring simply: "This can't be real." A third asked: "She get hacked???" while a fourth said simply: "This is crazy work." A fifth declared: "Ain't no damn way the word gooner is being thrown around like this". It went out to her 186k followers on the social media website and at the time of writing had been viewed 1.9million times, generating 21k likes in less than two hours. ‌ Cline is best known for her role in the Netflix series Outer Banks. The South Carolina native briefly attended Coastal Carolina University before dropping out to pursue acting in LA. Model Dunne recently made her runway debut in Miami Beach on May 31, leaving fans gobsmacked as she performed the splits. And she has shown herself more than adept at holding her own on social media when combatting trolls - as well as using humour when engaging with fans - as her fame grows as one part of America's fastest-growing power couple. While Pirates pitcher Skenes was in action against Detroit Tigers this week, the Tigers mascot - appropriately a tiger - held up a cheeky sign behind home plate that was clearly visible to the pitcher. It read: 'Sup Livvy Dunne.' "Sorry... not my type of tiger," she posted on X with an equally witty retort.
