it was a twist of chocolate that you could use as a straw

thanks,

Spira - Still around, but not always easy to find. My friend who knows I like chocolate bought me one once, saying 'look, I've found a new bar!'

I like both. But I think Spira would be better with a filling like soft mint or turksih delight or some other fondant filling. Otherwise they're just Dairy Milk with an interesting shape. At least Twirl has some texture

Spiras are definitely still around.  I think you get them more in newsagents etc than big shops.

Not seen a Spira for ages. Much preferred them to Twirls.

Spira was Initally launched in the NE of England on a regional launch/trial basis. It actually pre-dated Twirl.

 

It has now been discontinued and i would doubt if it would return.

Are you sure it has been discontinued?

 

Twirl was also launched on a trial basis in the North.

I had a Twirl this afternoon, straight from the fridge with a nice cup of tea.

Spira's had more texture to them than any other chocolate!! Nice cup of tea and a spira to drink it through!!! Awesome!!! Bring them back!! The amount i used to buy should have kept them in production!
