The Caramac bar is a caramel-flavored chocolate bar – its name is derived from the syllabic abbreviation for caramel and Mackintosh’s, which originally produced it
The cult flavor emerged in the late 1950s with other variations also hitting store shelves, including the limited edition Caramac Kit Kat bar and Caramac gumbo.
It was the bakery that originally broke the news on Facebook explaining that their unique Caramac eclairs would soon cease to exist.
Paula from Pastel Bakery said online: “It’s a sad day, it’s official, there will be no more Caramac bars off the production line, it’s been canceled so I’ve bought as many boxes as I can!
“They should last for a while (I hope), but once they’re gone, there will be no more Caramac eclairs! And no Caramilk or Milkybar gold are the same!!! #don’t cancel my car.”
The post quickly went viral with over 2.5 million views and thousands of comments.
Facebook users flocked to share their disappointment that the Caramac bar will soon disappear for good.
One user said: “Nah. I’m still not done with the topic!.”
Another declared: “Long live Caramac.”
“F***ing travesty,” said a third.
A fourth user said: “No no no! I love this stuff.”
“No way! I buy them every week! So disappointed! Why are they getting rid of the good ones?” someone else asked.
Some fans said they weren’t even ready to accept the news. One user suggested: “Let’s start a petition.”
A spokesperson for Nestle told The Sun: “We are very sorry to disappoint Caramac fans. Over the past few years there has been a steady decline in its sales and we had to make the difficult decision to discontinue it.
“We know fans will be disappointed to see it go, but this change will allow us to focus on our best performing brands as well as develop exciting new innovations to delight our consumers’ palates.”
If you’re interested in getting a Caramac tile before it’s completely gone, there are a few options.
Sainsbury’s currently sells a 30g bar for 75p in stores and online.

The Caramac bar has been added to the long list of many chocolate bars that we are saying goodbye to this year.
