HOLD onto your hats chocolate fans – a fan-favourite Quality Street flavour is back for grabs. But there’s a catch.
The Honeycomb Crunch – axed in 2018 – is on shelves again but only in certain stores.

The Honeycomb Crunch – which is a bite of milk chocolate containing shards of honeycomb – was removed from tubs and selection boxes four years ago.
And now the choc has returned – but only to John Lewis stores.
The Honeycomb Crunch will be available in 18 John Lewis pick ‘n’ mix stations nationwide – which allows shoppers to create their own Quality Street tins.
Customers can altogether choose from 12 different Quality Street chocs to fill a 1.2kg tub for £14.
But if you bring your own tin from home, it’ll only cost you £12. It’ll need to be the same sized tub, though.
There’s also an option to personalise the lid for £17, and pre-filled tins cost £12.
There’s a 330g Quality Street cracker you can fill too for £5.
You can find a full list of pick ‘n’ mix station locations on the John Lewis website.

The flagship Oxford store station is open now, and the others will follow suit throughout the rest of the month.
Quality Street senior brand manager Jemma Handley said: “We are delighted to announce the return of our beloved pick and mix stations at John Lewis for 2022, complete with a delicious new flavour sweet.
“Best of all, you can tailor the contents precisely to your liking, whether that means nothing but purple ones, a tin full of the new honeycomb crunches, or a feast of fruit crèmes.”
Where else can I buy Quality Street tins?
There’s a number of shops and supermarkets which sell Quality Street tins – and you’ll want to know where to buy them for cheap.
And if you’re not sure, Trolley.co.uk is a comparison site which compares the prices of 130,000 products across 14 major supermarkets.
The Latest Deals app also lets you search items and lets you compare prices at several supermarkets to see where it’s cheaper.
Tesco
Tesco is selling 600g Quality Street tubs for £4 – this is not a special deal or Clubcard price.
It’s also selling same-sized tubs of Roses and Heroes and a 650g box of Celebrations for the same price.
In previous years, the supermarket had loyalty deals allowing two boxes for the price of £7 – it’s not currently on but was earlier in the year.
This is sometimes reintroduced closer to Christmas though, so keep your eyes peeled just in case.
Aldi
Aldi is selling its 600g tubs for £3.99.
It is currently selling 382g Quality Street pouches for £3.49 – but that’s quite expensive considering it’s priced at 91p per 100g, but sells a 650g Celebrations tub for 61p per 100g.
Meanwhile, Tesco sells a 435g pouch for £3.50.
Although the Quality Street tub isn’t a deal, keep a look out for Aldi Specialbuy – there might be some bargains in the coming weeks as we crawl closer to Christmas.
Sainsbury’s
On the pricier side, Sainsbury’s has its 600g tubs on sale for £5 – not on offer.
And rather than making a deal, it’s also put the larger 871g Quality Street tin up by 50p – from £7.50 to £8.
It has a 240g box in stock for £3, but it might be more worthwhile visiting other supermarkets.

Remember to search store locators if you’re planning to buy in person – it’ll save you trekking to find a branch.
And factor in any delivery costs and return policies if you’re ordering home.
