I loved Mint Cracknell too, and Lime Cracknell. I can't remember who made it. Was it Rowntrees? In Australia they do something similar called Peppermint Crisp but I have never tried it.

They won't though - because it didn't contain caramel, biscuit, wafer or praline! Those, along with truffle, are the required ingredients of bars nowadays.

oldspice that is so true. I think there's about 5 different ingredients and they juggle them about to see how many combinations they can come up. Unfortunately too many choc bars are alike.
