Chocolate pudding with buttery crunch topping - can I still buy it anywhere?

Hi

When I was about 14 (now 27) I was addicted to this pudding. Think it was Birds but not sure.
It was a powdered pudding which you added hot water to create a yummy chocolate pudding, you then added the buttery crunch stuff on top and wow, the best chocolate pudding ever.

I tried looking for it a few years ago but couldn't find it in the supermarket.
I still can't find it anywhere.
Does anyone know if it is still made and if not then why?

I've done a bit of searching and there's even a petition to bring it back!

I'm so glad other people remember it too! The lemon flavour sounds a bit yucky though!
On the subjects of foods not sold anymore - why did kelloggs stop doing apple poptarts? They were my fave! Now I have to go all the way to the states to have them - or go to cyber candy at covent garden and pay £4.60 a box, grrrr!

I loved this stuff.
And Saucy Sponge where you poured hot water on the top of the mixture and then put it in the oven and the sponge rose and the sauce ended up at the bottom.
That was lovely!

Saucy sponge sounds interesting!
Does anyone know how to make the chocolate pudding? There must be a way!
