NESTLE has axed a beloved Christmas chocolate treat, and shoppers are gutted. Fans of After Eight will no longer be able to savour the mint chocolate in straw form. Nestle has officially ceased production of After Eight Straws 14 years after they were first introduced.

The discontinuation of the chocolate bars was confirmed when a shopper enquired on X (formerly Twitter). They asked: "Nestle, I've been touring our local supermarkets for After Eight Straws, and I can't find them…. "Are they discontinued?". In response to the query on X, Nestle stated: "Unfortunately, After Eight Straws have already been discontinued.".
The sweet treat, first introduced in 2010, combined dark chocolate straws with a smooth mint filling. Shoppers have long loved the product, and one person has described them as "the best" on social media site X. Another said: "After Eight straws are up in the clouds.".
A third called them "elite". Before they were discontinued, shoppers could purchase the 110g tubs for £2 at Asda and other major supermarkets. Shoppers can still get their hands on the traditional After Eight chocolate squares for £2.50 at most grocers.
A Nestle spokesperson added: "Every year, we create a range of confectionery for the Christmas season. "This year, After Eight Straws will not be available, but we will have our range of After Eight confectionery, including classic After Eight, After Eight Winter Fondant bags and the After Eight Mint Collection, which wraps up five delicious peppermint chocolate, available for consumers to enjoy over the festive period.".
