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

Quality Street brings back discontinued flavour after 20 years<\/h3>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The Sun has asked Fox's for a comment. <\/p>\n

Fox's Echo Bar launched in the early noughties before being scrapped a few years later. <\/p>\n

The main flavour features milk and white chocolate with a crunchy biscuit base.<\/p>\n

There was also a mint flavour. <\/p>\n

When the bar was discontinued some 12 years ago, Fox replaced it with the Velvety bar, though fans were not impressed. <\/p>\n

However, in a poll issued last year, the Echo Bar was not high on the list of sweet treats fans want back on shelves.<\/p>\n

The most favoured sweet treat was Cadbury Dream which was discontinued in 2019.<\/p>\n

Dream bars are plain white chocolate bars.<\/p>\n

Closely following was Cadbury Marble, which disappeared in the UK in 2012.<\/p>\n

However, it isn't all doom and gloom as Quality Street has announced it will be relaunching a fan favourite. <\/p>\n

The chocolatier has revealed its coffee creme flavour will make a welcome return ahead of\u00a0Christmas.<\/p>\n

But fans won't find the iconic flavour in the usual Quality Street tubs.<\/p>\n

The sweet treat will be available inside Quality Street's festive cracker and advent calendar this year.<\/p>\n

You'll only be able to pick the calendars and crackers up in\u00a0Waitrose\u00a0and\u00a0John Lewis\u00a0and they hit the shelves from September 20.<\/p>\n

Muller delighted shoppers in July when\u00a0it launched the Muller Corner Mississippi Mud Pie\u00a0yoghurt in Asda stores.<\/p>\n

And\u00a0just last week it relaunched\u00a0its strawberry and chocolate orange balls Muller Corner flavour too.<\/p>\n
