<p>Just a few months ago, it was revealed that <a href="https://www.asda.com/good-living/article/quality-street-toffee-deluxe-honycomb-crunch" target="_blank">Quality Street was replacing its Toffee Deluxe with an all new chocolate called Honeycomb Crunch</a>. Change is clearly in the air because now the Swiss-made Toblerone has also made some updates to its beloved chocolate bar.</p><p>Due to 'higher costs for numerous ingredients', Toblerone has increased gaps between chocolate bar's triangular chunks. While Toblerone announced the U.K.-only change on its Facebook page in mid-October, it seems that people are really only starting to notice the difference now. Here's what the new Toblerone bar looks like:</p><p><img alt="new_toblerone_bar" class="ci-image ci-original" src="https://ui3.assets-asda.com/dm/new_toblerone_bar_GL?scl=1"><br><em>(Image: Toblerone) </em></p><p>People have been taking to social media to express their surprise at the change, with some people not too pleased that the smaller bars have decreased in weight. The 400g bar now weighs 360g, while the 170g version weighs 150g.</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">who thought it was a good idea to change <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Toblerone?src=hash">#Toblerone</a> the way they did?!</p>— Steelie (@steelie97) <a href="https://twitter.com/steelie97/status/796033924233314304">November 8, 2016</a></blockquote><script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p dir="ltr" lang="und"><a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Toblerone?src=hash">#Toblerone</a> whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?</p>— Bharat Bhandari (@bharatbhandari1) <a href="https://twitter.com/bharatbhandari1/status/796033628610379776">November 8, 2016</a></blockquote><script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script><p>In a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Toblerone/posts/1308853319149448" target="_blank">Facebook post</a>, the company behind the iconic chocolate bar said: 'Toblerone remains one of the best value and most delicious Swiss chocolate products in the market.
