M&S has brought back its retro crisps loved by shoppers two years after they disappeared from shelves.
The major retailer confirmed it has both listened and answered the prayers of its fans.
That's right, M&S's Prawn Cocktail Shells are back.
M&S insists the tasty snacks are made from the finest ingredients with a "top secret" exclusive spice blend.
If you're a fan of Skips, the prawn cocktail crisps, chances are you'll like these too.
The M&S version is on shelves priced at £1.10 for an 80g bag.

That's cheaper than the branded version made by KP Snacks.
The cheapest skips are £1.54 per 100g when buying a 20-pack for £4, from either Asda or Iceland.
M&S' version, which is suitable for vegetarians, works out to £1.36 per 100g.
M&S also announced three-brand-new tortilla sharing bags will also be hitting shelves.
Each tortilla bag has been inspired by a classic Mexican dish.
Flavours include Tomatillo & Jalapeno Pepper, Lime & Coriander, and Feta & Pink Peppercorn Chickpea & Red Quinoa.
Be warned, M&S say: "These are nacho average sharing bags… you will NOT want to share."
On October 16, an M&S representative shared the reveal of the tortilla flavours on Facebook.
One person commented on the post: "Yum! These sound delicious!"
Each 150g bag costs £2.
How to save on your supermarket shop
THERE are plenty of ways to save on your grocery shop.
save on your grocery shop.
You can look out for yellow or red stickers on products, which show when they've been reduced.
If the food is fresh, you'll have to eat it quickly or freeze it for another time.
Making a list should also save you money, as you'll be less likely to make any rash purchases when you get to the supermarket.
Going own brand can be one easy way to save hundreds of pounds a year on your food bills too.
This means ditching "finest" or "luxury" products and instead going for "own" or value" type of lines.
Plenty of supermarkets run wonky veg and fruit schemes where you can get cheap prices if they're misshapen or imperfect.
For example, Lidl runs its Waste Not scheme, offering boxes of 5kg of fruit and vegetables for just £1.50.
If you're on a low income and a parent, you may be able to get up to £442 a year in Healthy Start vouchers to use at the supermarket too.
Plus, many councils offer supermarket vouchers as part of the Household Support Fund.
Since we're on the topic of surprises, M&S has one more to share.
It is also launching totally new peanut snack packs in Katsu Chicken Curry flavour, Smoky Chorizo flavour, and a Spicy Buffalo Wing flavour.
The 200g bags are priced at £2 and are in stores now.
