Coffee cremes, coins and selection boxes: chocolatiers revive classics in bid for bumper Christmas

Nostalgic treats are the name of the game for makers keen to repeat the high sales volume they enjoyed last December

The current market is tough for chocolatiers, but they are hoping for a happy Christmas this year thanks to the revival of a number of classics and recent sales figures that suggest this could be a bumper festive season.

In a nod to those of a nostalgic bent, Quality Street is bringing back the coffee creme, while Cadbury Dairy Milk Coins are returning for the first time since 2014. The Malteser is also set to defend its surprise title of the UK's favourite festive chocolate with a new offering for 2023.
