July 09, 2024

CANDY bars have taken their rightful place near grocery store registers all across the country, while others only last a season.

Over the years, sweet eaters have seen major players in the candy world create new additions only to watch them leave years later.

Companies discontinue items all the time due to low sales, limited editions, or low demand, but it doesn’t make it easier to watch them go.

The heartache customers feel when their favorite candy bar is no longer offered is something many of us have experienced - especially when we grew up with the treat.

Below we’ve compiled a list of beloved, and short-lived, candy bars many fans were sad to see go.

1. MILKY WAY LITE

This candy bar was supposed to be a healthier version of its classic.

2. BUTTERFINGER "BB'S”

In 1992, a tinier version of the candy bar was launched and called "BB's."

3. WONKA BAR

It was then bought by Nestle in 1988, and sold in the states until January 2010.

Back in 2005 for Tim Burton’s film adaptation, a Wonka bar was packaged with a Golden Ticket, entitling the winner to a $10,000 cash prize.

The bar, which had graham cracker pieces and milk chocolate and retailed until January 2010.

Fans are still heartbroken over the loss.

4. HERSHEY S’MORES

First introduced in 2003 the candy bar was likened to the popular campfire treat.

The Hershey's S'mores was made from marshmallows, graham crackers and chocolate.

Over a decade later it was discontinued by the manufacturer despite fan outcry.
