A spokesperson for Waitrose also told the Sun Online: "During a ​production run some pieces of a plastic mould broke off.

"Although we believe only a small amount of the production run was affected we are asking customers with any of the batch to return it for a refund.

"We're very sorry to our customers for this."

No other Waitrose products are known to be affected but point of sale notices will be displayed in all retail stores that are selling the chocolate bars.

It is not the first time the posh retailer is recalling some of its chocolates.

Earlier this summer, it was forced to recall thousands of boxes of cookies over fears some could be a health risk to people with nut allergies.
