Quality Street has dropped the Toffee Deluxe after customers complained there were too many similar flavoured sweets in a box.

The company removed the sweet, which was created in 1919 before being included in packets around two decades later, to make for a new barrel-shaped “Honeycomb Crunch”.

The decision is in response to customer feedback carried out by makers Nestle, which found that there were too many toffees within the selection box.
