Yeah, i'm addicted, i know .

well its confectionery, not chocolate.
Topic!
Crunchie
Texan- A mans gotta chew what a mans gotta chew
Its a close call but the gooey, chocolaty, biscuity goodness of a cadburys "Boost" just beats the penuty awsomeness of a Marathon, only because they decided to call it a snickers? 👿
I've asked about this one before, to no avail. 1970's, about the size of a topic, dark chocolate with cherries and coconut? Buggered if I can remember the name.
picnic! Looks a bit suspect, but lovely

Barnsleymitch- I believe youre thinking of a Cabana bar
Double decker.
toblerone
Edit - Seconds sweepy
Oooh, I remember Cabanas 😛 .
Gotta be another vote for Boost here.
Anyone remember Aztecs? Different wrapper than the [url= http://www.cadbury.co.uk/ourproducts/yesterday/Pages/Yesterday.aspx ]one shown here[/url] though I'm sure. That page brings back some memories - my Nan always had a bar of 5 Boys for me when I visited 😀 .
Sweepy - it's just taken me about ten minutes to google that, but thanks all the same. Mmmm cabana bar...
And fry's 5 centres - one of them, a copy of whizzer and chips and my old Raleigh chopper back please!
And my favourite still avaliable, the curly wurly.
Bar six were always the last ones left festering in your selection box. Texan's were always too much like hard work. Does anybody remember a chocolate bar about the size of a large fruit and nut, but it had loads of different centres, like a box of chocolates but all joined together? Please tell me it existed, I'm beginning to think it was all just a lovely dream 
Coffee Walnut Whip, it ain't a bar though, more of a turd like cone, in dimension! Glad they don't make 'em anymore, my teeth couldn't handle all that sugary goo!
I don't really eat that sort of food as an adult, but I had a Mars the other month, I used to like Topic too, and Golden Cup as a kid (the little oval bars)!
That did exist barnsley, I think it was a Milk Tray bar or similar?
Loved those too!
Coffee walnut whip! they were like crack for me back in the day 🙂
I'll see your golden cup woodsman, and raise you an old jamaica!
Caramac bar
Just remembered Grand Seville too . . . . mmmmmmmm 😛 Green and orange wrapper iirc.
I remember those too barnsley, my Mum used to treat herself to one of those now and then - I acquired the taste too!
Those little Golden Cup bars, in foil were my fave though!
Anyway, I'm off to bed now, to dream of the 1970's and how I binged my way to enormous dental bills. Top thread, and a breath of fresh air after the one down there about kiddy fiddling. Night all 😉
barnsleymitch I remember them bars, a frys something or other if my memory serves
My faves, twix( could be argued that its a biscuit), boost, chunky kitkat
Anyone remember the white chocolate bars with a 'swirll' of flavour in them?Strawberry etc. A few different flavours, just a small bar, what where they called?
Coconut boosts, in the orange wrapper. MMMmmMMMmm
Maverick.
Although they'll all be a bit past their best-before dates now.
Star Bar
or
Texan ?
My first instinct is to say Texan. Although I suspect if I had one now I would be a little underwhelmed.
Second choice: Double Decker.
Both my choices seem low on chocolate and high in goo. Neither seem particularly healthy.
fry's turkish delight hmmmmmmm
Wispa Gold
the crossbar on my 456 (crossbar being the olde word for top tube)
coconut boost or coffe walnut whip without a doubt
It isn't chocolate, but I used to like WHAM bars. Sometimes you would pull it out to stretch it from your teeth but your arms weren't long enough
there are times when I hanker after much of this exotica, but for a fulfilling bar that won't let you down, you can't beat Fruit and Nut.
Cadbury's Fuse. Solid and lovely.
johners +1 - maybe those nice people at Kraft will resurrect them... (with special delivery by flying pig)
curly wurly as long as it's not cold and rock hard
lots of debate possibilities here [url] http://www.chocolatereview.co.uk/ [/url]
Peanut Butter Lion Bar!
+ 1 for boost. Had my first two years ago on our lejog ride. Coming into Inverness absolutely shot. 2 boost bars later and I'm off like a good 'un.
Kinder Egg - Chocolate, surprise and a toy 8)
+1 for the StarBar
nyomnyomnyom - hic!
Nestle Crunch - blue.
Used to be anything by cadburys, but I expect that will go to the wall now 🙁
the green boost bars you used to get with guarana (sp?) inside
the cabana was my fave too
and almond yorkies, though I may have imagined them
Straight unadulterated Lion Bar thank you.
Although a Spira holds a certain charm for the extruded nature.
Wispa for pure chocolate fluff but...
A simple bar of Bourneville, mmmmmm.
Texan bar was the best!
Willies chocolate, from waitrose...is bloomin fantastic! You know, te chap with the choc farm in south america
Drifter. can never bloody find them now though...
Everyday - ToffeeCrisp (+ tea)
Special - Lily O'Brien bar, sticky-toffee centre...
I used to like the big Wham bars in the early 80s - far bigger than ones I've seen more recently.
As for Texan bars - I thought they were my all time favourite until they brought them back for a short while a few years ago - they were rubbish but were they really the same thing?
Dipped Flake or its illegitimate offspring, the Twirl.
Mars bar... from the 70's not the imitation rubbish they sell now.
As for Texan bars - I thought they were my all time favourite until they brought them back for a short while a few years ago - they were rubbish but were they really the same thing?
I was thinking along similar lines. I thought they were great when I was 6. But I suspect now, over 30 years later, I would be less impressed.
Perhaps I've grown up a bit and my tastes have matured. Unlikely I know.
As BMitch, Cabana,frys cream,topic,golden cup,icebreaker,cream egg,any of the thorntons bars,lees mint choc chip.
I used to love an Aztec bar, never seen them for at least 20years, very fond of a Milky Bar now.
A few votes for the coffee Walnut Whip, surprised I'm not on my own there - I quite often am when it comes to taste in food! 😉
M&S do their version of Coffee Walnut whips, they're very nice not quite the same but still lovely.
When I want chocolate, I want chocolate, not chocolate and nuts, or chocolate and coconut or somesuch rubbish.
Just simple Dairy Milk. The bestest.
Drac - don't tell me that!!!!! 😉
I prefer it as a nostalgic memory
Yes, chocolate; which none of the above, actually is.
http://old.seventypercent.com/chocop/bar_detail.asp?ID=166 😉
Dime Bars - still remember the ads with Harry Enfield with fondness.
When I was last in Oz, I discovered cherry ripe bars - the nearest thing you'll find to cabana bars nowadays. You can buy them over here (australia shop do them over the net), but they are expensive (about a quid each, I think) 😉
Come on nobody has said 'Banjo Bars' yet, got to be in the top 3!
Bendicks Sporting and Military. Now sadly never to be seen again. 🙁
+2 for Starbar... can you still get them ?
Peanut butter twix, sadly unavailable in this country
Peanut Butter Lion Bar!
I think i need to try one of these
I usually go for a Double Decker (ahem)
The Maverick was the best. Why did they stop making them?
ebygomm - sadly unavailable on these shores nowadays too. But always my choice over the peanut buter kit-kat chunky when that was about.
For the king of all 70's bars - Amazin (Its amazin what rasins can do..). I think a yellow and purple wrapper.
Aztec a very close 2nd
Some might say they're dull, but i really like Twix bars.
Also these have to get a mention:

Like Penguins, but somehow ten times nicer.
twirl for me with an expresso on the side - lush
tries a snickers more nuts at a moment of weakness the other day - recommended 😉
sometimes simply a Mars bar
why is there a chocolate ban in my house???????????????????????? 😥
I like a Boost, but kit kat chunky is up there too!
+1 Starbar - only tried my first one a few months back, lush!
When I was at school we used to spend our dinner money either on a big bag of chips or several Aztec bars. Sometimes I used to spend my bus fare on Aztecs and walk the 3 miles home. They were 9d. I think.
Fry's 5 Boys, Fry's 5 Centres, Those Milk Tray bars - all good. Spira make me feel sick.
These days I can still overdose on Creme Eggs, but for a sophisticated evening nothing beats sitting in front of the fire, sipping espresso and a malt whisky and eating a square of Cadbury's Dairy Milk and a square of Bournville at the same time.
[i]+2 for Starbar... can you still get them ? [/i]
Yep, just eaten one! 😛
One of my favourite's has to be Almond Snickers - dont thinik you can get them in the UK, i only ever saw/ate them in NZ.
Or Bournville. Brumidgum's original.
Cadburys Snack Biscuits, very addictive and just about to have a mini pack of them now
Fondly remember getting the reject ones (Cadbury Fingers too)on a stall down Walthamstow Market
Usually missing a bit of chocolate here and there or a corner broken off
Great big bag for a quid, didn't help my weight too much
