Popular retro chocolate bar is making a return - but for a limited time only

Whether it is Mars Delight or Cadbury's Taz bars, we all have our favourites.

And there is nothing we like to see more than when our favourite chocolate bars return to the shelves.

The MEN reports that Marathon bars are making a return.

Mars Wrigley has announced that the popular bar will be back in August after proving to be a smash hit last year.

It was so popular in fact, chocolate lovers with a refined taste for nutty nostalgia bought over 4 million Marathon bars in just 12 weeks.

Demand for the chocolate treat was so high the retailer Morrisons had to introduce a limit on how many packs a customer could buy.

Hitting stores on August 10, the heritage branding will be available in Morrisons and McColl’s for a limited time of three months.

For the first time in 30 years the Marathon bar will also be available in a single bar format, which is sure to really satisfy fans of the nougat treat.

David Manzini, general manager at Mars Wrigley UK said: "At Mars Wrigley we’re all about creating better moments through our sweet treats. It’s clear that after nearly 30 years away, people loved the return of the Marathon bar last year.

"When the British public speaks, we always aim to deliver! It’s great that after making chocolate in the UK for nearly 90 years people still love our chocolate!"
