Double Decker - confused!

I'm sure Double Deckers used to have raisins in. Was this a special edition, or did they change the recipe?

A common question, yes they had raisins in and then were changed.

It's funny, but for all my good memory of chocolate bars going back into the mists of time, I don't actually remember the raisins being in Double Deckers. Perhaps I just did not notice them? Were they in the biscuit bit?


Why don't they put raisins in Topic bars? You just can't beat white nougat, milk or dark chocolate and raisins.

I remember Paulham. They were in the base. I know you are a raisin fan, but a place for everything and everything in its place. For example - i do not think the raisin belongs in the Revels - especially as it appears (i may be wrong but it seems to me) to be at the expense of the peanut revel...

Couldn't agree more Paulham - peanuts are the devil's food!  I never used to like raisins which is probably why I hadn't tried a DD years ago. Having tried and loved my first DD only this week, I can see that raisins would make them even better as for some reason I now love them.  Especially yogurt raisins from the health food shop, although they have a phenominal fat content and therefore aren't very healthy at all!

I think DDs would be nice with raisins in the nougat.

I like peanuts on their own and they are nice in Snickers bars. But given the choose I would have raisins in more bars of chocolate. There are plenty of bars for nut lovers what about the raisin lovers out there (paulham!)

But it's also nice to have raisins in a chewy nougat bar or wrapped in fondant and chocolate instead of always just coated in chocolate.
