Mars has revealed whether or not fans can expect the return of its popular discontinued White Chocolate Maltesers.
The confectionery company is responsible for a range of popular chocolates including M&Ms, Snickers, Skittles and of course Mars bars.
But not all of its products hang around forever.
A number of Mars chocolates have been discontinued over the years as its range continued to develop.
Fans call for return of discontinued Maltesers chocolate
White Chocolate Maltesers were first launched by Mars Wrigley in the UK back in 2003.
However, the chocolates were discontinued in 2014 due to "low sales", according to Sky News.
Ten years later fans are still distraught about the axing of the Maltesers chocolate, calling on Mars to bring it back.
One fan on X (formerly Twitter) said: "@MaltesersUK bring back the white chocolate Maltesers please."
Another person posted: "Had a dream last night that white chocolate maltesers were back and I bought a whole crate of them."
A third person commented: "Whoever made the final decision to discontinue white chocolate maltesers is my eternal arch-nemesis."
I don’t think I’ll ever forgive Mars for discontinuing the white chocolate Maltesers

While another chocolate lover said: "White chocolate Maltesers (now sadly discontinued) were clear of any other chocolate..."

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!
