Waitrose explained that the bars have been recalled "due to a risk of small stones being present in the product".
Britons were advised "not to consume" the chocolates. Instead, shoppers should package up the affected items and return them to their local Waitrose & Partners branch. Here, they will receive a full refund.

The supermarket apologised to customers for the recall and any inconvenience caused.
This comes as Waitrose urgently recalls seafood sold in stores due to a packaging error.
Food recalls should always be taken seriously to ensure shopper safety.
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) explained: "If there is a problem with a food product that means it should not be sold, then it might be 'withdrawn' (taken off the shelves) or 'recalled' (when customers are asked to return the product).
"The FSA issues Product Recall Information Notices to let consumers and local authorities know about problems associated with food. In some cases, a 'Food Alert for Action' is issued.
