Whether you like it on toast, crumpets or you absolutely HATE it, Marmite really has got the nation divided!

And last month, when the product’s makers brought out Marmite XO, it was a massive hit, flying off shelves with fans demanding a restock ASAP! Some people even put the special edition on eBay, where they sold for up to ÂŁ5,100!đŸ˜±.

So, it’s good news for all those XO lovers as the fan favourite product is BACK, with Marmite announcing the product is set to return to Tesco shelves TODAY, following huge public demand to bring back the special-edition flavour. But, just like last time, they’re predicting it will fly off the shelves, so you’ll have get yours quick.

And if you've lived under a rock and have never heard of Marmite XO, it’s a matured marmite, which has been aged for 28 days, four times longer than the classic version. The recipe was first created in 2010, following extensive sampling with members of the Marmararti – the secret society formed by Marmite’s biggest devotees. The group tasted a number of formulas before selecting the current XO recipe.

After being off the shelves for years, Tiffin made its comeback in 2016. Hallelujah!

2) Cadbury Coconut Boost

The core centre made up of dessicated coconut combined with a normal Boost bar was just too good - why on EARTH was this masterpiece ever taken out of circulation?!

3) Mars Delight

That caramel and chocolate cream filling mixed with that wafer, was a pure delight. Sadly, we despite people's efforts, this Mars chocolate bar won't be returning anytime soon.

Milk and white chocolate AND praline in one bar? Yup. Cadbury's really are one of the best at coming up with new recipes.

Two fingers of Dairy Milk with chocolate spiralling around the outside... YUM.

6) Time Out

The Time Out was very slyly taken off the shelves - basically a chocolate wafer, but SO MUCH MORE. Thankfully, they still exist in shops as a single wafer.

7) Cadbury Snow Flake

The geniuses at Cadbury decided to merge their white Dream chocolate with the standard flake to create utter perfection in this little bar. But why, oh why, did they stop making them?!

11) Cadbury Fuse

Nuts, raisins, fudge and cereal pieces all in one chocolate bar?! It's years since we last saw a Fuse bar around. Sob.

12) Terry's Pyramint

Basically, a pyramid version of an After Eight but with a slightly sloppier middle. We miss these!

13) KitKat Senses

We can't for the life of us think why these went extinct. But they've been refashioned in a selection box, so that's something at least.

14) Milkybar Choo

We're hoping this one will make a comeback. The strange combination of white chocolate and fudge worked surprisingly perfectly.

15) Cadbury Taz Bar

When Taz became extinct, this chocolate bar was revolutionised as a Freddo bar with caramel. But we miss that devil.

16) Twix Top

This was the highlight of our school packed lunches... Anyone else?!

17) Cadbury Snaps

They're like Pringles - but chocolate. And just like our favourite snack, you couldn't ever just have one Snap!

18) Rowntree's Secret

Withdrawn due to low sales volumes, the marshmallow centre wrapped in thick chocolate was a real treat back in the day.

19) Cadbury Wispa Mint

We've all had a Wispa, haven't we? But the mint version had an extra edge to it that was just simply divine. Sigh.

Forget Maltesers, this really was a lighter way to enjoy chocolate.

Camilla Williamson, Brand Manager at Marmite, said, “The British public have been pleading for the return of Marmite XO for some time and we’re delighted to team up with Tesco to give them exactly what they want.

“We can’t wait to spread the love by ensuring everyone has a chance to sample the deliciously coveted taste of the nation’s favourite savoury spread”.

However, there’s only a limited number of cases currently in production, meaning it might not be in the stores for that long...
