Caramac bars have been scrapped
PA/GETTY/SAINSBURY'S/OCADO
Nestlé UK has confirmed it will no longer make Caramac bars.
The popular treat launched more than 60 years ago and fans are not happy.
The decision was made as sales of the sweet treat have slowed.
The creamy caramel based bar does not contain cocoa, but it is often thought of as a staple on confectionary shelves.
Customers are already calling for its return
