Shoppers are only just realising Quality Street has brought back a discontinued fan favourite after 20 years

SHOPPERS have been left delighted after realising Quality Street have brought back a discontinued fan favourite after 20 years.

Newfoodsuk took to Facebook to share that the chocolatier’s coffee creme flavour has made a return to shelves just in time for Christmas.

The group posted a photo of two iconic Christmas cracker shaped Quality Street boxes that were filled with coffee creme treats – a flavour that has not been seen for two decades.

Along with the photo, Newfoodsuk penned: “Coffee Cremes are back!!

“We are so pleased to see that Quality Street have brought them back!

“Boxes now available at Waitrose & Partners”.

The post racked up over 380 likes, with over 290 comments and 80 shares from sweet-toothed chocolate lovers.

One user wrote: “A trip to Waitrose is needed!!!”

Another said: “Love these! Coffee creams are back got to keep eye out for these x”.

A third added: “Christmas present for Nan! Xxx”.

One more chimed in: “Yay they’re back”.

Nestle announced they were bringing back the flavour earlier this month – and revealed the treats will only be found in festive cracker and advent calendar packaging.

Customers have been able to pick the calendars and crackers up in Waitrose and John Lewis after they hit the shelves on September 20.

Shoppers are also able to add the coffee creme flavour to any pick ‘n’ mix tins, available at selected John Lewis branches.

The Quality Street coffee creme cracker will be on sale for £6 while advent calendar will retail at £10.

Shoppers will also be able to pay £14 for a “fill your own” advent calendar.

It comes after shoppers recently took to social media pleading for the flavour to make a return to supermarket shelves.

One said: “If you [Quality Street] could bring back the coffee creams in Quality Street, I’d appreciate it.”

Another added: “Needs to come back permanently. Coffee creme was my favourite as a child and my whole family would fight over them.”

But the coffee creme flavour isn’t the only thing making a comeback this year.

Shoppers are now able to create their own bespoke Quality Street boxes at John Lewis this festive period too.

The retailer brought back its popular pick ‘n’ mix stands, as John Lewis’ flagship store in Oxford Street, London, opened today.

A number of other stores will be unveiling stations across October, including in Bluewater, Bristol, London and Cheadle.

Meanwhile, branches in Liverpool, Solihull, Leeds and Nottingham will be opening up stands to the public.

Shoppers will be able to pick from a number of flavours, including coffee creme and green triangles.

Customers will be able to fill up a tin for £15 or refill an old John Lewis Quality Street tin for £12.50.

Meanwhile, shoppers can buy a personalised tin for £17.
