Nestlé has announced the return of Caramac for limited time only after it was previously discontinued late last year.
We thought this day would never come… but now, more than nine months since production was stopped after 64 years, and it was cruelly snatched from our shop shelves, one of the most iconic chocolate bars has made a highly-demanded return to the UK.
Fans were left heartbroken when manufacturer Nestlé discontinued the beloved product last November after its sales began to decline amid the rise of other massively-popular blonde chocolate confectionary products like Cadbury’s Caramilk.
Passionate Caramac lovers were disappointed that they hadn’t got to try the product one last time before it was axed, and have (unsurprisingly) been calling out for its return ever since.
Well now, Nestlé is here to fix those broken hearts, as the brand has announced that Caramac has made a return to the UK, and shoppers can now get their caramel-flavoured confectionary fix once again from retailers nationwide for a limited time only.
Now available in shops and supermarkets across the country “while stocks last”, the returning Caramac range includes the classic Caramac single bar, a convenient three-bar multipack, and a sharing bag of Caramac buttons too.

Lisa Butterworth, who is the Chocolate Classics Brand Manager for Nestlé UK & Ireland, said the public’s calls for the return of Caramac were “heard loud and clear” by the company after it was discontinued, adding that: “For this unique bar, we wanted to create a special opportunity for fans to enjoy it once more.
“We hope that this limited release gives people the opportunity to savour and stock up on Caramac as a gesture of our appreciation for the longstanding support of our confectionery fans throughout the years.”

Home Bargains has announced a special two-day closure of all UK stores

Home Bargains has, once again, announced it’ll be closing all its UK stores on both Boxing Day and New Year’s Day this year.
And it’s to make sure staff get a ‘well deserved break’.
After what has been yet another busy year for the retail industry, many workers have been left feeling like they could do with a little extra time off, which is why Home Bargains is following on with what has become a now-annual tradition by shutting up shop on two bank holidays.
All of our stores will be closing for Boxing Day & New Years Day.
Announcing the move in a post on social media, the discount retailer confirmed: “All of our stores will be closing for Boxing Day and New Years Day. We would like to thank all our colleagues for how hard you have worked this past year, and want you to relax and enjoy the Christmas break with your loved ones.”
Of course, this isn’t the first time the retailer has kept its doors shut on bank holidays.
Many shoppers will recall it has made the same decision to give hardworking staff a break every year since 2019.
Explaining a little more about the decision taken to close all its stores, Home Bargains said: “As a family-run business, we know the importance of being together at Christmas with those we care about most, now more than ever.
“This is our way of saying thank you to our colleagues for their continued hard work and dedication.”

Two Greggs in Manchester will be serving their breakfast menu in the evening next week

Who says breakfast has to end at 11am?
In news that’s set to be music to the ears of breakfast lovers in Manchester, Greggs is giving them exactly what they want.
We all know that brunch is a ‘thing’ by now, so now it’s time for brinner to make a name for itself instead, as Greggs has teamed up with Heinz to bring its much-loved breakfast menu back for tea time, kicking off from 4pm onwards.
The move comes as a new survey has found that the majority of Mancs (69%) admit to enjoying eating breakfast food in the evening, saying it’s ‘convenient and comforting’ – even ranking breakfast as a ‘more important’ meal than tea, as well (38% vs 36%).

Greggs says it has ‘lost count’ of the amount of customers that have tried to order breakfast items after the usual cut-off time, especially in Greater Manchester.
But luckily for those breakfast-loving Mancs, they can finally get their favourite breakfast and sauce pairing long after the morning rush is over next… but only at two Greggs branches, and only for a very limited time.
On Wednesday 14 and Thursday 15 October, the Heinz x Greggs Brinner collab will be available at Greggs St Mary’s Gate and Greggs Oxford Road, from 4-7pm only.
“We’ve lost count of the number of customers who have tried their luck ordering breakfast after 11am, so when Heinz came to us with the idea of making Brinner a reality, it felt like the perfect excuse to give the people what they want,” explained Zoe Harris, who is the Customer Director at Greggs.
“And let’s be honest, a Greggs Bacon Roll just wouldn’t be the same without a squeeze of Heinz Tomato Ketchup.”
