TROLLEY DASH Marmite brings back popular discontinued cupboard staple nine months after it was axed from shelves
MARMITE has brought back a popular discontinued cupboard staple just nine months after it was axed from shelves.
Unilever, which makes Marmite, has confirmed Marmite Peanut Butter has returned permanently.

Marmite has brought back its Marmite Peanut Butter spread
The nutty and yeasty breakfast spread first appeared on shelves in 2019 causing a stir, but was discontinued nine months ago.
However, Unilever has reintroduced it to shelves with shoppers able to pick it up from Tesco, Sainsbury's and Ocado.
We've also spotted the 225g tub on sale at Co-op. Both Co-op and Tesco are selling it for £3 while Ocado is stocking it for £3.50.
Some shoppers have already started clocking the returning favourite on shelves.
One recently posted on the Food Finds UK Facebook page: "Spotted: Marmite Crunchy Peanut Butter is back!"
Commenting on the post, one person said: "It's sooooo good."
Another added: "This (has) been missing for ages."
Unilever confirmed it had axed Marmite Peanut Butter last September with a spokesperson adding: "We're always reviewing our ranges to make sure our products reflect shopper preferences, whilst also focusing on new innovations."
"Whilst we will no longer be making Marmite peanut butter, we are working on some new and exciting launches within our licensing range to bring our iconic Marmite flavour to shoppers in new ways and formats."
But the news left shoppers distraught with one saying on Reddit: "Just read it's been discontinued. I'm gutted. Tried Marmite and crunchy peanut butter together. Nothing like it. Sad times."

And another chipped in: "I literally have it every day for breakfast, I'm gutted!"
It's worth bearing in mind, retailers and manufacturers regularly discontinue products and items based on customer sales and trends.
Steph Herbert, head of marketing at crisp brand Walkers, told The Sun a lot of products get axed due to limited shelf space in supermarkets too.
