Oh no! My favourite chocolate is being discontinued! 😱

As an alternative, try Lidl's Dark Chocolate Ginger biscuits - they're gorgeous! They are quite thin and not too 'biscuity'.

My favourites are Border Biscuits Chocolate & Ginger which are still Widley available.

Ooh, yes!

I felt exactly the same when the Terry's Neopolitan chocolates were discontinued. I knew they were popular many years ago because every time I popped into the supermarket, they had been sold out, yet they were discontinued. It is happening frequently now, more and more favourites are no longer being manufactured and I wonder why.

Thorntons have been taken over byFerraro - hence many favourite chocolates being discontinued. We found this out at Christmas looking for their boxes of toffees in a Thorntons shop.The assistant said just plain toffee was being manufactured in small bags. She also told us that many chocolate favourites are being phased out . This is what happens when large companies take over unfortunately.

You had me in panic mode but when I saw what it was no worries here can’t stand them lol did love my Turkish chocolate and that was stopped still never found anything similar in a bar of chocolate lol

Ferrero took over Thorntons 9 years ago and have been struggling ever since. Most of the shops have closed as they have concentrated with selling online and in supermarkets. My nearest Thorntons is so depressing l don't go in.

First world problem, get a llife. Give those in Ukraine, Palestine and Israel a thought, those people are freeing and starving and sleeping out under the stars because their homes have been bombed.

So these are the only things that we must focus our minds on?

I'm quite sure we are all fully aware of the atrocities being carried out, but we do have lives of our own. I don't think any of us pitching up in Ukraine, Palestine or Israel offering our heartfelt support is going to do much to help.

We are able to have concerns for other issues, as well as our own problems, be they large or small.

I believe that there is a shortage of ginger, our local restaurant told us that their ice cream supplier was no longer making their ginger and honey ice cream, though it was very popular. I checked online and there are a few reasons for the shortage apparently.

It does seem to be hard to find a nice box of chocolates now, though my daughter bought me a box of Lindt based on the flavours of desserts for my birthday which were mostly nice. She used to love Milk Tray but last time I bought them for her they were really awful, less variety and really sickly.
I'm not keen on caramels, toffees, pralines or so called fruit creams and would rather have a tiny box of something hand made and delicious than most of the commercially available brands.

My dear old mum loved chocolate gingers. I used to get her some every Christmas. How I miss her , even after all these years …….x

I've never shopped in Thorntons but buy Green & Blacks Ginger Dark Chocolate.

We have the ‘Ringtons Man’ come every fortnight and as well as tea and coffee they have some lovely biscuits and chocolates. We bought some delicious chocolate gingers at Christmas but not sure if they sell them all year round. If you don’t have Ringtons in your area, you can order online.

no one warned me dark chocolate Bounty was being phased out, I never got a chance to stock up

I'm not a fan of ginger but I am sad for you

We have to take joy in life wherever we find it

Hope you find an alternative

Or start a petition and I'll sign lol

Quite a few health food shops and green grocers sell crystallised ginger covered in dark chocolate. Very delicious.

Anyone else going to miss them?

I love dark chocolate ginger, but don't usually buy Thornton's one. My son sent me a delicious box which I have scoffed for Mother's Day, The advantage is that I am the only one in the family who likes ginger.

The Aldi dark chocolate and ginger chocolates and cookies are lovely.
