Octagon segment bar name?
« on: January 12, 2007, 06:06:57 pm »

Does anyone remember a chocolate bar in the late 80's early 90's it was made up of about 5 or 6 octagon shape segments in a row on a little paper tray and came in two kinds. A blue wraper that i think had white stuff inside and a red wrapper that had carmel and a hazelnut in each segment. They wernt around long and i used to buy them from the co-op. No one else remembers them :o( Something keeps making me think they where a swiss brand but im not sure.

I posted something about these about two years ago under "pyramid shaped chocolates". I loved both bars.  One was in the shape of little pyramids and had a truffley filling and a white snowcap top and the other was hexagonal and had caramel and a nut in each piece too I think.  I think they were made by Terrys and I just can't remember the name of the bars .  Driving me mad too but glad someone else remembers them!

Nutcrackers? I don't think they were bars though, they were individual chocolates.

Still sounds like Marabou to me.

These do sound familiar but I am afraid I am much better at remembering bars from 40 or so years ago than more recent bars!


Something to do with my age.

Old but spicey!
