Thanks for your advice - I remember it as the early 70's as well - the link below to the Nestle site explains the second walnut - Many Thanks

I miss that waxed card tray.
So do I. Wasn't there one in Milky Way too? (The double ones).

I wonder how many people don't eat the walnut?

The Mestle ones have a smooth shiny outer chocolate wrapping. It used to be matt like a flake.
It now looks cheap.

No, I know what you mean Paulham. That matt chocolate had a kind of rougher texture and now it's smooth and rather waxy. A similar thing happened to the Hazelnut Whirl in Roses selections. They used to have a rough, dry textured chocolate but now they're all waxy. I don't like that.

I have been having a heated debate with friends who didn't believe that Walnut Whips used to have a walnut inside as well as on the top - I won that argument <img src="[url]http://www.chocolatereview.co.uk/chocforum/smileys/smiley36.gif[/url]" height="17" width="17" border="0" align="absmiddle" alt="LOL" /> but now need to know when the manufacturer stopped putting the second walnut in the Walnut Whip?

I'm glad they did. I love Walnut Wips, but take the nut of the top and discard it as I can't stand nuts. If anyone can't get hold of them, try your local Pound shop, they often have boxes of three.

I came to this site as nobody would beleive me that it was 'Duncans Walnut Whip'
I was eating them when Churchill was P.M. and before Elizabeth was enthroned'
Could he realy be that old? Would I joke about such a thing?
Yes they did have a walnut inside and one on top.
I vividly remember searching for 'the inside one' when they stopped it.
Shoppy wouldn't give me my money back either, or my sweet coupon.
One real tease for any member like me still above ground.
Does anybody remember a competitor to Mars Bars, a bar called Cress?

I remember when Walnut Whips were made by Duncans and they certainly had a walnut inside. i was overjoyed tio see the walnut inside go because i don't like nuts! Now I can simply remove the nut from the top and devour!
However, do you agree that the 'whippy' stuff inside is different from how it was fourty odd years ago? It seems stiff and sticky now whereas i remember it being creamier.
i don't remember Cress but i do remember a short-lived bar in the mid-1960s called Wisp which had a layer of stiff toffee at the bottom, a crispy malterser-like dome and the whole thing was covered in chocolate.
I also remember a lovely bar called Jellomello that had a thick strip of chewy marshamllow, a thick strip of turkish delight-like stuff on top and it was all covered in chocolate.
It's all so unfair now because when I was a kid I had no money for sweets and chocolates except those bought for me by generous relatives. Sweet treats were rare and well-remembered occasions. However, now I have a bit more money to throw around, all those lovely cream-filled bars of my childhood have gone forever, replaced by boring fillings like truffles, pralines, endless caramel variations and so on.
I long to go back to 1965 in a time machine with a £5 note and come back with Opal Mints, Mintesers, Jellomello Bars, Milk Tray Bars, Five Centres and other cream-filled delights.
By the way, do you miss the Lime Barrells in Milk Tray?
