Oh yes! They were fabulous.


Indeed they were - much superior to a Milky Way, even the 'old' version!

Hi this is my first posting so I hope I dont screw up!Smile


Anyway, I miss the dark chocolate version of Bar Six which was called Bar Noir. I also remember Pink Panther bars which were a sickly pink candy thing that cost 2p. Can you still get Curly Wurlys?


Im not sure if you're counting limited editions but I have scanned some wrappers to post on my website in the near future, Cool Mint Drifters, Apple Pie & Custard Drifters and a Christmas Pudding flavour Toffee Crisp called Toffeecrispmas! There was also the Dark Chocolate Mint Caramel which was really nice.


Anyone remember Arrow Bars, Everlasting Toffee bars and the Texanesque Big One ('sticks out a mile' as the advert went).


The one I miss most of all has already been mentioned - Cabana - I was sure they had made a Cabana ice cream bar, but I could have dreamed it!

I didn't think there was a person left alive who remembered Everlasting Toffee bars! There is more than one Cabana fan on the Forum and I am sure you're going to be  welcomed with open arms.

Welcome Cabana Fan!  I don't remember Everlasting Toffee bars but I do remember Arrow Bars and Frother Bars.

Long thread, but I don't think these have been mentioned yet...


Walnut Whip


Take Two (Mint, Coffee, Orange, Marzipan and Vanilla)


Frys Chocolate Cream (Five Centres is already listed but the CC was nearly as nice).  And was there was a mint one too?


Caramac - the real stuff, not the vile coating that masquerades as Caramac on those horrid kit-kats.

These haven't been mentioned because they haven't been discontinued.

I loved that, and the double choc version


P.S. Yes, you can still get Curly Wurlies

I notice Cocoa Crisp is missing from the new Galaxy Promises adverts, if they have gone it's a shame since they were the only one in the range I liked!

Hi again


and thanks for the warm welcome :)


Just thought of a few more: Treets (Peanut, Toffee), Swisskit ("I'd risk it for a Swisskit"), Trio (great banana boat song advert), Triffick bars (advertised by Mike Read) and Grand Seville, which was a bit like Old Jamaica from what I remember.


:)

Hi, anyone else old enough to remember Nux barrs? they were really nutty & chewy & absolutely delicious, or maybe it's just so long since I tasted one that my memory is playing tricks! If you have noticed my quest for Guyliain hazelnut bars, you will realise I'm nuts about nutty choc. Anyone spotting anything new in the nutty department ,please let me know. Thanks.

Hi Yazal! I think Nux bars go back even further than I do! There used to be a chocolate centre in Dairy Box called Nux but it was chewy wafer with no nuts. I wonder if your Nux bar was made by Rowntrees and based on that chocolate? 


You will have a friend in Loulou as she is a nutty chocolate fan.
