Bounty bars to be removed from Celebrations this Christmas

Bounty bars to be removed from Celebrations this Christmas

If you're the one that leaves the Bounty in the Celebrations tub - this may come as good news.

Mars Wrigley's going to trial tubs without them - after finding out 39% of customers don't want them in there anymore.

Over 2,000 people in the UK were surveyed by the confectionery giant, a survey which revealed that 18% of people would be irritated to find just Bounty bars left in the tub, with 58% stating that such a situation could lead to a family argument.

A new 'No Bounty' alternative will have more of the other sweets to make up for it - but it'll only be a limited edition, sold at selected Tesco stores.

Instead of the 'disliked' Bounty bars, Celebrations will compensate with additional Maltesers, Mars, Snickers and Milky Way bars.

*Update: Mars Wrigley has clarified that the Bounty change won't be coming to Ireland after all. We're sorry!

Quality Street Ring the Changes

This isn't the only change to chocolate tubs this Christmas...

In a Christmas chocolate box hall of greats that includes Roses, Heroes and Celebrations, Quality Street gets something of a bad wrap.

Blame it on the lack of a standout like Roses' Hazel Whirl or the all-around appeal of Cadbury Heroes, but it always seems that a tin of Quality Street is the last to be opened when the festive buzz has died down.

The people behind Quality Street are fighting back, however, with the reintroduction of an all-time classic - the Honeycomb Crunch.

Axed way back in 2018, the chocolate is now making a comeback for Christmas 2022 in selected 1.2kg boxes of Quality Street.

For those who've forgotten, Honeycomb Crunch is a smooth honeycomb-flavoured truffle containing honeycomb pieces, covered in milk chocolate.

The news follows an announcement by Quality Street manufacturer Nestlé that the chocolates would discontinue their trademark plastic wrapping in favour of waxed paper in a welcome bid to go green.

This could be more than enough to tempt us away from our Bounty-less Celebrations this Christmas?
