1. Toffee Crisp.
Like Tom Hanks. Nothing flashy, but consistently delivers.
Double Decker. The chewiness makes it last longer 🙂
I used to be partial to a Milky Way. Like a mars bar, but without the cloying caramel.
Picnic. For the raisins.
Conversely, Lion bar is shit.
Cadbury’s Twister
Spira, b ut not seen or had one for at least 20 years now...
Topic is nice, but a bit too small nowadays.
1. Star bar.
2. Double Decker.
Aztec for the retro win:
"The Cadbury Aztec chocolate bar was first available on shop shelves in 1967, a real 60s sweet, and lived a reasonably successful life, all the way through to 1978 when it was sadly discontinued. That’s one chocolatey dream crushed and another favourite sweet treat torn from the shelves"
Well nice they were
Topic
Star bar
Fry's
Not so much unsung hero,but more that epic moment when you first discover, that the Club biscuit (fruit) you have is solid chocolate. 😆 🤣
Do Tunnock’s Caramels actually count?
Double Decker FTW
Maybe a bit mainstream, but I love a KitKat chunky. Why don't they make a dark chocolate one though 🤔
Crunchie or Lion Bar
Caramac
Mmm Family Milk Chocolate.
Or Vegolate or whatever the Euros correctly described our rancid attempts as.
To add to my earlier list ...
1. Star bar.
2. Double Decker
3. Caramac.
4. Walnut Whip
5. Curly Wurly
Toffee Crisp is obviously the right answer. Still in mourning for the plain chocolate version.
Chocolate raisins.
Plain chocolate bounty.
RIP 54321 bars of old 🙂
Can you still buy Texan bars?
Fry’s Turkish Delight.
Just me?
Fry’s Turkish Delight
Good call. Full of eastern promise 🤣
I honestly don’t know anyone who likes it. Obviously people do or they wouldn’t sell it. Same with Parma Violets.
Topic
What’s got a hazelnut in every bite? Squirrel Shit!
Defo Star Bar but Drifter mentioned above also a great retro shout
Turkish delight can get in the sea.
Anyone remember this from the mid-90's?
We (as kids) discovered them on holiday at a local corner shop, then couldn't find them when we got back to London. Eventually we did one of those kid's letters to Rowntree's fondly imagining that they'd send us a crate of them and all we got back was a formal letter saying it was not being continued. Bastards.
Milky Way, found it surprisingly resistant to freezing too hard to eat or melting into its wrapper.
Small enough that there is always a gap for one or five.
The Cabana bar.
Gone but not forgotten.
Pound for pound GOAT of the choccy world.
Big shout out to coconut Boost, too.
Also going to throw in…Golden Cup
Yorkie biscuit and raisin, not bad like, eh
Starbar or Picnic for me. Is there some kind of b*stard lovechild that melds the two gether?
And remember that our chocolate is SO much better than in the USA. My brother in law has just left us to return to Virginia. He has a hold bag filled with UK chocoate. He described the US stuff as sweet brown sh!t.
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Peanut kit kat chunky</span>
I'm not sure anything with a wafer hidden inside should be ever classed as a chocolate bar.
It was a poor day when all my primary school tuck shop only had wafers for sale.:(
The Cabana bar.
Gone but not forgotten.
Amen, brother !
Also almond yorkies (also RIP) and chomps
I'm t2DM these days so haven't really got an axe to grind any longer
Another vote for the old Fuse bar....😋
Nestle Dairy Crunch. Loverly.
Yorkie Raisin and Biscuit
I still mourn the passing of the Cadbury Fuse.
I miss the fuse!
Though I'm torn between lion and a double decker!
Though the phrase soft nougat up thur I think tips it!
Good old (and I mean old, pre kraft) dairy milk bar. Pure sugar and fat unhealthiness in a small package. Eaten straight from the fridge so the melt in the mouth feel lasts longer.
Having said that I've given up chocolate for 2023
Knoppers are indeed very good. And not just some knock off Aldi bar, they're a legitimate bar just not from these shores.
If we're talking about chocolate bars that are no longer made, how about the original coconut boost. The modern boost was once a spin off of the coconut boost and was called the Biscuit Boost. There was also a Peanut Boost which strangely is very similar to a Starbar.
Not seen a Drifter in years, great chocolate bar, especially as there is two in each pack.
Cadbury's Flake - but on a buttered roll (that's a bap for you Southerners).
And though I'm not normally a fan of commercial milk chocolate, Galaxy is far superior to Dairy Milk.
Cadbury’s Flake – but on a buttered roll
Only the Scots could look at a Flake and think "that would be good in a sandwich".
Cadbury Gambit
Cadbury’s Flake – but on a buttered roll
I'm sorry..... what?
Came here to say Drifter, but have now also been reminded of the magnificence of the raisin and biscuit Yorkie.
Wispa, you heathens.
Toblorone - although it's not as nice as it used to be.
Made with triangular almonds from triangular trees.
And triangular honey from triangular bees.
Wispa or a Boost.
that’s a bap for you Southerners
You mean a cob obvs
Wispa, BISCUIT Boost.
Cadbury Fuse, all the scrapings up from every other bar encased in a chocolate jacket. Perfection. sadly not many other people agreed and it was a short lived dalliance.
Honourable mention to Topic, although even smaller than I remember now and they were never big, even as a small child (always a treat in a selection box though).
Picnic and Topic.
But nowadays I eat real chocolate. :O]

Another fan of Fuse bars. There was also a bar called Ticket iirc
Daim Bars FTW
Nestle Nuts bar.
As unsung as many a Eurovision entry but make any trip to Western Europe an absolute pleasure.

Drifter.
Do they still exist?? Chewy goodness!
Fox's Classic anyone??
Jamaica Inn. Chocolate bar with raisons and rum flavour.
Dunno if it stii exists but i can remember my Dad would buy 1 for mum if he had been a dick head. Which was quite frequent, and we all got a few squares, mostly after Sunday lunch.
Unsung heroes of the chocolate...

I'm a Lion Bar or Double Decker man myself.
Recently, if you just want chocolate with no complications, the Cadbury's Dark Milk is pretty decent.
Rasin & Biscuit Yorkie for me.
Back in the day it was Nutty Bars, handfulls of peanuts stuck to gooey caramel. If they hadn't been discontinued they would of been banned by now.
Star Bar
Picnic
Yorkie biscuit & Raisin
No love for the Cadbury Fudge bar?
