McVities is bringing back another discontinued favourite after nearly 20 years and choc fans will love it
MCVITIES has brought an iconic discontinued snack back to supermarket aisles.
The white chocolate digestive is coming back to our shops after being axed almost 20 years ago.
They were last on shelves as a limited edition back in 2005.
The biscuit has the classic digestive base and is covered with a layer of white chocolate.
It’ll cost shoppers £1.89 for a pack of 15 biscuits.
It is available in Sainsbury’s already but will soon be sold in other supermarkets such as Co-op, Tesco, Asda and Morrisons.
If you’re a white chocolate fan then luckily the new biscuit is a new permanent addition to the digestive selection.
Aslı Özen Turhan, chief marketing officer at pladis UK&I said: “Our customers have been asking for white chocolate digestives for a while and we’re excited to finally bring them to the shelves.
“Knowing how much people love white chocolate and having new sweet treats to try, we couldn’t wait to make this highly anticipated addition to the digestives family.”
It comes not long after shoppers spotted another McVities favourite back on shelves.
Happy Faces – which were axed around 2015 – were spotted on Asda shelves again with one fan excitedly sharing the find to Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK.
The biscuits, which have jam and cream in the middle complete with a smiley face on top, cost £1 per pack.
The fan who spotted them posted a picture to Facebook, captioning it: “There back!!! ASDA £1”
Others in the comments were equally enthusiastic, with one responding: “Love these biscuits“
Another wrote: “I need these!!!”
Earlier this year, sales of Arctic Rolls rose by 143%, according to online retailer Ocado.
Shoppers can get the orginal made by Birds Eye for as little as £2 from Waitrose.
But you can also pick up supermarket own-brand versions for less.
Sales originally melted away in the 90s and Birds Eye, the manufacturer of the dessert, stopped producing it, but it was brought back in 2008.
