Nestle has issued an update on the future of Quality Street in the UK after the popular chocolates were discontinued in South Africa.

Nestle is responsible for a range of different brands including KitKat, Cheerios, Nescafe and Quality Street.

Whether your favourite is 'The Purple One' or 'Green Triangle' or you fancy a Caramel Swirl or Toffee Finger, the Quality Street tubs have something for everyone.

As well as the popular tubs, Quality Street also has several different chocolate varieties as part of it's range including a 'The Purple One' chocolate bar and Matchmakers (which come in various flavours).

But despite its popularity, several Quality Street chocolates have been discontinued in the UK recently.

In December it was confirmed both Quality Street's Collisions chocolate bar and honeycomb flavoured Matchmakers had been axed.
