Where can I still buy the Caramac bar as iconic chocolate is discontinued after 64 years

NESTLE has discontinued the iconic Caramac bar after 60 years but you can still buy it in one retailer.

The chocolatier confirmed it had made the "difficult decision" to scrap the treat due to low sales.

The caramel-flavoured bar derives its name from the combination of words caramel and Mackintosh, which originally manufactured it.

It was first launched in the 1950s with other variations following including a limited edition Caramac Kit Kat bar and Caramac buttons.

The sweet snack was made in Norwich until 1996 when production was transferred to Tyneside in the North-East of England.

But it will start to disappear from supermarket shelves over the coming weeks and months.

That said, you might be looking to stock up on the original bar before it's gone for good - here's where you can get it.

Iceland

Supermarket chain Iceland is selling three-packs of 30g Caramac bars on its website for £1.25.

Bear in mind you will have to pay a delivery fee if you want to order just the multipack as you only get free delivery on orders worth £40 or more.

A spokesperson for Iceland confirmed the multipack is available in-store as well.

They added shoppers will be able to buy the snack until the end of the year.

Sainsbury's

Sainsbury's does usually sell 30g bars of Caramac on its website, at a cost of 75p.

However, it appears the recent news of the bar being discontinued has seen shoppers rushing to buy it as it's currently out of stock.

It's worth keeping an eye on the website in case it does came back into stock though.

We have approached Sainsbury's to find out if the bar is available to buy in-store and will update this story when we have heard back.

Any shoppers looking to bag one of the bars online can buy it as part of the retailer's £3.50 or £5 meal deal.

A number of other lesser-known online retailers are stocking Caramac too.

For example, megaretailer.com is selling boxes of 24x3x30g for £30 with a £5 delivery fee.

Meanwhile, wholesalesweetsuk.co.uk is also selling the same size boxes for £34.

But be cautious when it comes to buying from smaller wholesale websites.
