Caramets?

They're from the 1950s. I want to know what was in a Punch bar.

I googled Frys Punch bar and found this :

It was a milk chocolate coating over toffee filling. The bar was long and narrow with an undulating top.

Thank's Lou. That's helpful. I was thinking they may have been a bit more exciting though!

[loulou]

I agree. With a name like punch i'd expect something better than choc coated toffee.

How dare you?  Sounds remarkably like a Golden Cup!!!

I cannot think of a reply.

Sorry GC. I wasn't thinking of Golden Cup though. I was thinking of it being chewy toffee like a Curly Wurly, only thicker.

With a name like Punch, I kind of expected a fudgey bar with a slight rum flavour or a creamy filling of giner and raisin or something.

Incidently, I think there was also a Fry's Judy Bar but I think it went out of production years before Punch did.

Oh I bet you could!

[loulou]

I wasn't thinking of runny caramel neither. I too was thinking along the lines of curlywurly.

[goldencup]

Hmmmm.....you got out of that one quite well!

[loulou]

Hmmmmmmmmmmm was i in a one and needing to get out?

[goldencup]

Oh yes!

[loulou]

Alls well that ends well.
