Digging around in a big tin of Quality Street trying to find your favourite flavour is one of the highlights of the festive season. Yet over the years some sweets have been lost to the passage of time - but now one is making a comeback.
According to manufacturers the throwback honeycomb crunch flavour will return this year, although it will only make an appearance in some tubs and tins. The chocolate was axed in 2018 so many fans will be glad to get their hands on it once more.
The move to bring back the honeycomb crunch will be controversial to some, however, as a vote held months ago revealed that it was not consumers' favourite discontinued flavour. A poll of tens of thousands found that coffee creme was the one most fans wanted back.

Emily Grimbley, assistant brand manager for Quality Street said at the time: "Many Quality Street fans have an old favourite, and our survey has shown that when it comes to our sweets, absence really does make the heart grow fonder.
"Although the coffee creme hasn't featured in the mix since the turn of the millennium, it’s clear that it still holds a special place in the nation’s heart." In addition to the return of the honeycomb crunch, high street department store John Lewis said it was bringing back its Quality Street pick 'n' mix stands in the run-up to Christmas.
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."
