It was released as the same time as the Dairy Milk winter mint crisp bar, which has also proved to be a hit with shoppers.
But this week, the manufacturer announced the bar has been withdrawn from shops to make way for more flavours.

It comes after one X user asked Cadbury if the bar would be returning to shelves this Christmas.
They wrote: “@CadburyUK will you be bringing back the orange festive crisp bar this year? Pleeeeeeasse.”
The company responded, writing: “Hi there, we’re always adapting our Christmas range to ensure there’s something new for everyone. This year, we’ve made a few updates we think you will love.
“We understand some will miss the Dairy Milk Orange Crisp Bar.
“Who knows, we might see them again next year. We hope this helps.”
The disappointed customer wrote back to say: “Fingers crossed it’s back next year! Me and my friends miss it!”

The Sun has approached Cadbury for comment.
Cadbury regularly refreshes its product range to introduce new favourites.
It discontinued another orange-flavoured bar earlier this year – Dairy Milk orange.
The 180g snack was launched in 2021 following a surge in popularity for chocolate orange products.
This included Cadbury’s orange Twirl in 2019, and Buttons and Fingers in 2020, as well as Tesco‘s chocolate orange bourbons.
After announcing its iconic Dairy Milk bar would be released with a fruit twist, fans were initially delighted and rushed out to buy it.
Changes to popular chocolate treats can hit fans hard.
They were similarly left heartbroken to discover the Cadbury Dairy Milk 30 per cent Less Sugar had also been scrapped, as well as Peanut Caramel Crisp Bars.
This year Cadbury has also come under fire for reducing seven-packs of Animals biscuits to five-packs, although the price is still the same.
