Celebrations chocolate have never been the same since they removed the Galaxy Truffles. I also loved Cadbury Dream. The best white chocolate ever invented in my opinion. There will always be a special place for them both in my heart. ❤️

nicolajaynehend Thank you, Nicola. Perhaps it is only discontinued in the UK then. Thanks goodness for online shopping. 🙂

And that Nutella looks delicious.

RegularComper90 you very welcome. There might be other chocolates on Amazon that you can't get any more. Eddie says hi to you. Still can't get a girlfriend yet. Image

They were like oval balls (not an egg), smaller than a creme egg but bigger than mini eggs. Galaxy chocolate shell and caramel in the middle. They were a real treat.

I absolutely adored the Cadbury dream white chocolate and still miss it. I haven't found a white chocolate as good since it was taken off the shelves. I can see other people here seem to be missing it too!

I will forever miss the beloved heavenly Cadbury Dream. So many people seemed to have liked it, so I don't understand why Cadbury discontinued it.

I really miss Pacers. For those unfamiliar they were a bit like Opal Fruits, but mint flavoured.

For me not a particular sweet but I miss the 10p mix up bags of sweets from the local news agents that I swear had about 30 sweets in each. And half penny sweets that were bigger than the 10p ones now

I was going to say Spira as well, but will go for Cadbury Marble instead, a delicious mix of white and milk chocolate along with a hazelnut centre... I'd also like to try some of the extra varieties of Lindt Lindors they have in Japan, such as Matcha, Butter Pecan, Mango & Cream and Fudge Swirl.
