If you're anything like us, 3pm is always the perfect time for a little treat. From an ice-cold Diet Coke to a bag of salt and vinegar crisps, it's become a mid-afternoon habit to treat ourselves to a little snack.
And thankfully, Marks and Spencers have just launched four new chocolate bars to really up our snack game. Channelling nostalgia and 1980s fun, M&S Food have re-released four bars which were first launched over 40 years ago, stuffed full of caramel, nuts and nougat.
"The 80s are back in the confectionery aisle, as M&S Food launches Jet, Sparks, Now! and Coconut Grove," the brand revealed. "First launched as part of M&S’ 80s confectionery range, the four bars are back for customers who loved them the first time around, and for a new generation discovering them today."
Each bar takes inspiration from the flavours and textures that made the originals so memorable. Those include:
- Sparks pairs chewy nougat with soft caramel
- Jet combines nougat, peanut and soft caramel
- Now! has a biscuity caramel centre
- Coconut Grove is filled with smooth coconut
Each chocolate bar is coated in delicious Fairtrade milk chocolate, with the wrapped inspired by their original St Michael designs from the 80s. We're talking bold colours, playful graphics and joyful designs.
The bars are available in store from today - priced at £1 each. Now if you'll excuse us, we're off to find them in M&S!
