The Sun exclusively revealed that Walkers had discontinued its Marmite crisp flavour at the end of last year.
The 20-year crisp flavour has slowly been disappearing off shelves and fans were left devastated.
Marmite is owned by Unilever and the brands does produce its own Marmite-flavored snacks range.
Cheese lovers can get cheddar cheese and Marmite bites, which is British Ilchester cheddar blended with Marmite and comes in a pack of five for £1.50.

Fans can also get Marmite oven-baked cashews, we found a 90g bag priced at £2.50 on Ocado.
But it looks like crips lovers need not be disappointed for long as Marmite has hinted its own brand of crisps could be in the works.
The brand shared a Facebook and Instagram post with a hand holding a single crisp.

Unsurprisingly excitement erupted across both social media platforms with thousands of likes and hundreds of comments.
One Facebook user said: “I’d love to see Marmite Pringles!”
Another said: “Marmite you are saving the day! My mum will be so happy! I’ve been trying to buy her a box before the old version disappears thank you thank you.”
“Excellent!! I’m all in,” said a third user.
An Instagram user claimed the product would be: “Perfect with a cheese sandwich.”
“Bring it on!” said someone else.
A third user cried: “Oh my god yes.”
The Sun has reached out to Marmite for comment and will update this story once we get more information.

If you’re a snack lover it’s worth noting there are quite a few crisps that Walkers have discontinued in the last few months.
