The white, pink, and red heart-shaped treats changed in colour and flavour with each layer, making them a hit among sweet lovers.
Originally imported from the US, these 340g 80s sweets scanned at tills for £3.50.
However, some shoppers are only now discovering that the popular sweet treat has been discontinued.
One user took to Reddit, writing: "I just learned this has been discontinued, correct me if I'm wrong. ps what's a good replacement?"
The post attracted several comments from disappointed shoppers who were also unaware that the popular treat had been axed.
This shopper wrote: "I was obsessed with these like 4 years ago. Why would they discontinue them?"
"The spree hearts were my favourite ever," added another.
A third said: "I keep hoping they'll bring them back."
"I just found out the bad news too! I'm devastated," a fourth added.
It comes after M&S confirmed it had axed a beloved snack - particularly popular with a pint.

It came after a disgruntled shopper took to social media to inquire about its whereabouts.
They said on X: "@Marksandspencer have you stopped selling the Sweet Chilli Combo Mix snack?
"Been to several stores today and no sign of them. Please say they've not been discontinued!!"
The Sweet Chilli Combo Mix was a selection of crispy potato and corn snacks - which came in the shape of tubes, wheels and flat crisps.
Fans deemed them the perfect sweet and spicy morsel to enjoy alongside a cold drink.
But their worst fears were confirmed when M&S employee Simon weighed in on the thread.
He said: "It looks like we have discontinued this flavour, sorry about that."
It follows Nestle confirming they pulled a new type of Rowntree's sweets just one year after launch.
And B&M fans are in a frenzy after spying retro sweets back on shelves.
