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?

badfurday Yes!! Grin I found a piece of glass in one once and it still didn't put me off. That's how delicious they were.

Raspberry ruffles have always been my favourite sweet since I was a little girl and my mum used to buy me 2 Oz of them in the co op on a Saturday- over 40 years ago!

The sweets are nicer than the bars tho

For those who like Ritter Sport this looks amazing. You design your own bar and they make it for you!

I love Twixes, but have discovered I love the Lidl version even more.

@ReeReeR

No, the Fry's Chocolate Cream isn't like a Creme Egg. It's hard to describe the flavour but the 'cream' has a much solid, crumblier texture than the Creme Egg.

Star Bars...hadn't had one for years until we had some go short-dated at work, now it's hard to stop buying them!

@ReeReeR Icebreaker.

ReeReeR · 04/08/2019 17:15

@ScreamingValenta I’m just going to have to try one...

@ReeReeR Just googled that. Haven’t seen those before. I think it was one someone said before - Blitz or something?

Double deckers used to be bloody lovely but haven't they taken the raisins out of the base? Always loved a star bar...just so gooey and delicious, wasn't the biscuit boost similar?

ReeReeR · 04/08/2019 18:45

Double Deckers definitely don’t have raisins in the base now. I didn’t know they had changed!

DressingGown · 04/08/2019 18:49

Fuse!!!

Without a doubt Ritter Sport marzipan. And nobody in this house likes them so win-win.

Brawsome · 04/08/2019 19:06

And the one covered in nuts was called Nutty.

jelly79 · 04/08/2019 20:02

@SpamChaudFroid a secret bar

stucknoue · 04/08/2019 20:05

Fry's Turkish delight is the best (and they had run out at Morrison's!)

PolkaDotted · 04/08/2019 20:07

Double Deckers haven't had raisins in them since 1986.

Been craving a fruit and nut recently, and DP brought one home just now. Never been so disappointed in my life! It used to be chunky! It used to have whole nuts!
No more! So rubbish!!!!

buttertoasty · 04/08/2019 20:58

Lion bar or timeout

TinklyLittleLaugh · 04/08/2019 21:11

I like
Mintolas
After Eights
Fry’s peppermint cream
Ice Breaker
Hmm, there seems to be a bit of a theme here

@ReeReeR that was the Terrys Bitz bar - mint crunch / orange crunch / cherry crunch

itsjustallshitrightnow · 04/08/2019 21:48

@Wombleish oh no no Fry's Chocolate Creams! I used to worry that they would become extinct as they're quite old skool.

The horrible greasy plastic taste of palm oil in "chocolate" just puts me off it these days. I have to check the ingredients carefully, cheap palm seems to have infiltrated so many foods Sad

ReeReeR · 04/08/2019 21:57

Thats it @WhenDoISleep
