Hot on the heals of the news that Mars are discontinuing the Dark Chocolate Bounty, Nestle have confirmed they are discontinuing Caramac.

I’m in confectionary mourning.

Caramac hasnt tasted like Caramac for years.. its all 'lardy' now.
I used to love it, but wouldnt buy it these days!

I agree, they changed the recipe years ago when the company was bought out. It hasn't tasted anything like it used to for a long time.

It's also nearly chocolate for people with chocolate allergies.

Glad to join a zombie thread about Caramac, It shouldn't be allowed to just disappear.

So many good things to say about Caramac, but one of them which chimes with the 21st century is surely its modest size? Thin and delicate and not too big.

With the fashion for caramel, and particularly salted caramel these days, I would have thought Caramac could have been successfully re-launched.

I'll never stop missing it.

MrsLargeEmbodied · 24/07/2024 05:25

i wonder where it is available?

Cookerhood · 24/07/2024 00:12

I also understand you can get digestives with gold bar chocolate on them...

Bemusedandconfusedagain · 23/07/2024 23:10

Do you reckon they found some old stock at the back of the warehouse so are doing a limited return to use it up?

stilldumdedumming · 23/07/2024 23:06

As a devastated caramac lover I tried Cadbury Caramilk yesterday.

It is REVOLTING - tasteless fatty slime. So bad I actually threw it away, despite being trapped in the car on a long journey with no other sweeties to keep me going. That bad.

Doubly devastated now.

Saw this and thought of this thread

Not Caramac!!!!
Cookerhood · 10/11/2023 18:16

I loved it as a child but when I tried it again it was all waxy. Caramilk was just vile.
Does anyone remember when you could get chocolate digestives with caramac on them? Sooo good. Must have been in the 1970s.

Underthesea65 · 10/11/2023 18:15

Animal bars now too 😭

Milky Bar have started doing a caramel version called Milky Bar Gold which is lush and should satisfy the caramac hole.

Definitely going to try this. Thanks

Aldi have a new Blonde chocolate. I think it's quite similar. Better than nothing, anyway. We are on our second bar since Sunday 🙈

Ooo going to try that.

Used to love caramac but it changed quite badly and became waxy and stuck to my teeth in an odd way.

Thatsshallot1967 · 09/11/2023 13:47

Just been out to stock up!!!

Not Caramac!!!!

Not the Bounty too!!!!!!!!!! To be honest I didn't know that they still made Caramac, I used to love them.

Helendegenerate · 09/11/2023 12:27

It's not just Caramac I detest. It's all chocolate that's white or golden.

Chocolate has to be brown for me! 🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫

BadLad · 09/11/2023 12:14

This is terrible news. I loved Caramac.

Hope they don’t stop making Milky Bars.

JayAlfredPrufrock · 09/11/2023 09:44

Caramac was my favourite growing up. But I confess I haven’t bought a bar for decades. It’s all my fault.

StockpotSoup · 09/11/2023 09:42

Would anyone be up for a campaign for the return of Wispa Mint?

CampsieGlamper · 09/11/2023 08:34

This its the End Times.

No caramac no dark chocolate bounty!

Horrors.

Wenlock12 · 09/11/2023 08:32

M&S do a golden blonde chocolate in various forms

Lifestooshort71 · 09/11/2023 08:19

Jane's Patisserie have some super cheesecake recipes, they're on FB as well but sorry, can't link (too much Caramac over the years has addled my brain!)
