Nestle has announced that they will be making permanent changes to two iconic sweets from their Quality Street range.

The Purple One and the Orange Crunch "have taken on a new shape" which is now the same as the Caramel Swirl.

Additionally, the Orange Crunch is moving from its foil wrapping to a paper wrapper.

Quality Street adds: "But fear not! While both sweets have taken on a new shape, they will still be in their iconic coloured wrappers and keep their unique and well-loved flavours.

"The change comes after a successful trial at the end of 2023, which saw The Purple One sweet go out in a small number of The Purple One® Bags. Some chocolate fans might have noticed the new Orange Crunch in a limited number of tubs, cartons, and tins on the run up to Christmas."
