Underrated chocolate bars

Ok so I know it’s not strictly a chocolate bar, but last night I had such a craving for a Twix. Haven’t had one in years. Got one today and it’s as good as I remember, the crunch, the caramel and just the right amount of chocolate. So, was just wondering what everyone else’s forgotten favourites are?

Star bar
Boost

Catch bars, but they may only be an Irish thing. And it says a lot for their 70s and early 80s advertising that I can still remember the annoying jingle.

@Rockbird multipack of 4 boost in Dunnes stores only €1 today I only bought one pack because I'd eat all of them

Mint wispas were amazing

Topic bar - thought they had been discontinued but saw them recently in an Dealz type shop

CrazyCatLady159 · 04/08/2019 00:57

A ruffle 💜

I realise I like all of these.

But my family know to buy me a Wispa above everything else. Just that bit denser than an aero. Gahhhh!!!

IncyWincyGrownUp · 04/08/2019 01:55

Me: wispa (from the freezer, I’m a real heathen) or kinder bueno. My retro choice would be the secret bar.

Eldest: Reece’s products.

Middle: a high cocoa milk, or milk dark chocolate. Fruit centre a bonus.

Youngling: boost.

SimplySteveRedux · 04/08/2019 03:32

I miss the coconut boost.

Oh yes. Love Twix, Double Decker's, Wispa Gold and Crunchie's. Yummmmmm!

SimplySteveRedux · 04/08/2019 03:35

God yes. Heaven food.

Does anyone remember one that was milk chocolate with the texture of shredded wheat on the outside and soft walnut whip type centre? Poss called a souffle bar? From the mid 90s. I do miss those.

Crispmonster123 · 04/08/2019 05:58

Toffee crisp and Crunch bars

InspirationWontCome · 04/08/2019 06:15

@libertyminty What have I ever done to you?! Why would you talk about mouse heads in the same sentence as my beloved Topics?! 😥

badfurday · 04/08/2019 07:54

@SpamChaudFroid was it called secret? They were bloody lovely!!

libertyminty · 04/08/2019 09:14

Sorry Inspiration🙈
Had a look and can’t find the article we read complete with pictures but found this, didn’t realise it had gone to court, now wondering what the outcome was! And I’ve not eaten a Topic since that day 🤢

Lidl do a nice fake Twix which we call Trix so I can't remember the real name. Aldi do a one stick version which is even nicer called Wacko. I still have two though and pretend that 2 come in a packet. Blush

What has a hazelnut in every bite?
Squirrel shit!🤣

Stillstrawberrywater · 04/08/2019 10:32

My favs are the plain chocolate wispa or yorkie. Chocolate mixed with fruit, nut, and caramel don't rock my boat.
