Nestlé has announced the discontinuation of a second chocolate bar just hours after chocolate fans were told the iconic Caramac bar was being axed.

Now, the confectionary company has dealt a further blow to sweet-toothed Brits and has decided to stop manufacturing Animal Bars.

Fans of the chocolate took to social media to express their grief. One said Nestlé had “gone too far” while another said the discontinuation marks “the downfall of the UK”.
