Brits have been left heartbroken after Mars confirmed a Galaxy Easter chocolate has been discontinued.
Mars Wrigley is responsible for brands including Galaxy, Celebrations, M&Ms, Maltesers and Twix.
Easter is usually a chocolate lovers favourite time of year with so many varieties available to choose from.
We've already seen the introduction of a number of new chocolates in the lead up to Easter 2024 including a new white chocolate Creme Egg Easter Egg from Cadbury.
Nestle have also recently released several new products including two Aero bars and a white chocolate KitKat.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
