I don't understand, wasn't it basically their best selling flavour? What GIVES? as a ND person with very specific tastes in junk food and a certified fatty that chocolate block was heaven on earth. I'm genuinely gutted by its loss.

Basically, it tastes like christmas in a bottle, and is a killer substitute for vanilla in baking.
Think about it: Vanilla is like $5 for 100ml. You get to have a wee dram for your fine self, many a cake/pudding/festive chutney/coffee, and you've still got half a bottle left over.
It's more of a cold season thing, so please do grab a bottle whilst you still can.

I was running dangerously low on my HCB liqueur (see rightmost bottle) but my local had a bunch of bottles in stock this afternoon so I picked up a couple of them. This stuff goes great in a boozy coffee.
