Mars, the confectionery bosses behind brands including Galaxy and Milkyway, swapped out the truffles for Twix sweets.
There hasn't been any other major switches in the Celebrations collection since in launched in 1997.
Furious by the decision, chocolate lovers even started an online petition demanding Mars reverse the decision.

They come in their own bespoke box and cost £5 for 206g.
For those with a real sweet tooth, a bigger box weighing 329g and costing £7.49 will be available from mid-September.
We’ve asked Galaxy for an exact date when these will be released, as well as calorie information and sugar content for both sizes.
The Sun has also asked if the new sweets use the same recipe as the traditional ones that appeared in the Celebrations boxes and we’ll update this article when we know more.
If you don’t remember what a Galaxy Truffle tastes like, each sweet has a velvety chocolate centre with a hard but sweet outside shell.
News has already spread fast with confectionery lovers sharing their excitement online.
Writing on the Kevs Snack Reviews Instagram page, one person said: “Things are looking up.”
While another asked her friend: “Do you think them truffles will be like your faves that use to be in celebrations?!”
Tesco sell a whole range of Galaxy products including the traditional bars, bags of counters and hot drinking chocolate.
You can pick up a 110g bar of the stuff for just £1, while a 112g bag of counters will set you back £1.50.
But be careful not to snack of both of these in their entirety as the bar contains 545 calories and 55g of sugar while the counters have 528 calories and 58g of sugar.
The hot drinking chocolate costs £2.60 for a 370g tub, while 100g of this has 389 calories and 63g of sugar.
The recommended daily sugar allowance for UK adults is 30g.
