Popular flavour Quality Street axed in 2018 is back – but there’s a catch

HOLD onto your hats chocolate fans - a fan-favourite Quality Street flavour is back for grabs. But there's a catch.

The Honeycomb Crunch - axed in 2018 - is on shelves again but only in certain stores.

The Honeycomb Crunch - which is a bite of milk chocolate containing shards of honeycomb - was removed from tubs and selection boxes four years ago.

And now the choc has returned - but only to John Lewis stores.

The sweet will be available in 18 John Lewis pick 'n' mix stations nationwide - which allows shoppers to create their own Quality Street tins.

Customers can altogether choose from 12 different Quality Street chocs to fill a 1.2kg tub for £14.

If you bring in a tin from home, it'll cost you £10 to refill. But it needs to be a former John Lewis exclusive tin.

There's also an option to personalise the lid for £17, and pre-filled tins cost £12.

There's a 330g Quality Street cracker you can fill too for £5.

You can find a full list of pick 'n' mix station locations on the John Lewis website.

The flagship Oxford store station is open now, and the others will follow suit throughout the rest of the month.

Quality Street senior brand manager Jemma Handley said: "We are delighted to announce the return of our beloved pick and mix stations at John Lewis for 2022, complete with a delicious new flavour sweet.

"Best of all, you can tailor the contents precisely to your liking, whether that means nothing but purple ones, a tin full of the new honeycomb crunches, or a feast of fruit crèmes."

There's a number of shops and supermarkets which sell Quality Street tins - and you'll want to know where to buy them for cheap.

And if you're not sure, Trolley.co.uk is a comparison site which compares the prices of 130,000 products across 14 major supermarkets.

The Latest Deals app also lets you search items and lets you compare prices at several supermarkets to see where it's cheaper.

Tesco is selling 600g Quality Street tubs for £4 - this is not a special deal or Clubcard price.

Aldi is selling its 600g tubs for £3.99.

On the pricier side, Sainsbury's has its 600g tubs on sale for £5 - not on offer.

In other news, Nestle announced Quality Street will axe its iconic brightly-coloured wrappers over 86 years since their release.

In a bid to become more environmentally-friendly, the treats are now being wrapped in a duller form of waxed paper, which is recyclable.

Only the two foil-covered sweets - the green triangle and orange crunch - will remain in their original packaging. This will be phased in over the coming months.

Remember to search store locators if you're planning to buy in person - it'll save you trekking to find a branch.

And factor in any delivery costs and return policies if you're ordering home.
