QUALITY Street has confirmed it has discontinued an iconic chocolate just weeks before Christmas - leaving shoppers devastated. The news came after a confused shopper asked where the beloved flavour had gone. In response to a post on Quality Street's X page asking "which flavour matchmakers are the favourite in your household?", he noted that one flavour had gone missing recently.

He wrote: "What happened to the honeycomb?". A spokesperson for the beloved Christmas brand then replied to his comment, confirming: "Hi Owen. Unfortunately Matchmakers Honeycomb has already been discontinued.". Matchmakers are crunchy chocolate snacks in the shape of matchsticks that come in a variety of flavours - from mint to orange to hazelnut.
The honeycomb version featured dark chocolate, covered in crispy honeycomb pieces. It retailed at stores for about £1.50. Although it can no longer be found at supermarkets, some stores are still selling it online, including eBay and Amazon - with prices hiked to as much as £15.
The product was a hit with chocolate lovers, with many rushing to Amazon to share their glowing reviews. One wrote: "I opened these to share with the family and secretly could have easily eaten the whole pack in one sitting!. "They are soooo nice, the flavour comes through both in smell and taste.
