Toblerone dark chocolate bar discontinued in the UK
The dark chocolate version of Toblerone’s most popular bar has been discontinued after nearly six decades on confectionery shelves. Food manufacturer Mondelēz International confirmed in a statement that its 360g dark chocolate bar would no longer be sold in the UK. The company said it understood the “difficult decision” may be “disappointing for some consumers”. It attributed the discontinuation to “changing tastes” and growing its business, adding it “continuously adapt[s]” its range and “continue[s] to invest in Toblerone”. The original Toblerone bar was first invented in 1908, with a dark chocolate version – containing 50% cocoa – released in 1969.
