FOX'S biscuit has confirmed it won't be bringing back a fan favourite and shoppers are gutted.<\/p>\n
The famous Echo Bar will not be returning to shelves, the biscuit brand has confirmed. <\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
One disappointed fan posted in Facebook's Food Finds UK group, with just the word: "Heartbreaking".<\/p>\n
She had written to Fox's to ask the retailer if the Echo Bar would be making a return.<\/p>\n
In response, it said: "Unfortunately, I can confirm we do not make Echo Bars at the moment, as sadly they were not as popular as we would have hoped.<\/p>\n
"Whilst we appreciate your positive comments we currently have no plans to bring them back at this time."<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Other disappointed shoppers took to the comments to give their thoughts.<\/p>\n
One said: "The best! The mint ones were my fave."<\/p>\n
While someone else wrote: "They were God tier."<\/p>\n
And another said: "What the hell. They were one of the best."<\/p>\n
