Nestle confirmed last week that it was discontinuing both Breakaway and Yorkie biscuit bars following a decline in sales in a blow for sweet-toothed fans.
The Breakaway bar, first introduced in 1970, will no longer be produced from March.
Meanwhile, Yorkie biscuit bars, not to be confused with Yorkie chocolate bars, have already been axed.
At the same time, the chocolatier announced fans would soon spot a new chocolate bar on shop shelves.

"Available in-store across UK supermarkets from February.";
Fans took to social media to mourn the loss of the recently discontinued Breakaway and Yorkie biscuit bars and many shunned the new Blue Riband bar.
