What was this 1980s / Early 1990s snack?

Please help me identify this snack, it’s been driving me crazy for years!!

It was sold in the UK at some point between 1987 and 1990 (maybe over a longer period, I don’t know).

I think it was strawberry / yoghurt / chocolate with strawberry bits in.

I think it was meant to have some kind of healthy element to it....

I think it was called Halo.

It was possibly German. But I don’t know.

Here are some things it wasn’t: Balisto, Yoghurette, Dream

WHAT WAS IT?!?!?!?! 💕🤞

Boots still do a strawberry nougat bar (shapers) It sounds a lot like that

I was going to say Hellas bar but the freeze dried bit doesn't fit. Was it a Tracker?

Was it a diet bar thing?

I was sure it was Balisto. I know what you mean and I did German exchange in late 80s/90s. I will keep thinking

I remember it but couldn’t tell you what it was called because I ate it once and never again. I think I got it from a health food shop

Balisto is definitely the nearest I can recall taste and texture wise! And yes, I defo think they were in health food shops too

Sort of Faez but it wasnt any of them. The Hälo with the dots rings a bell but i can’t seem to find any pics...

I think you were right with halo, if it's the same one I'm thinking of it's a Welsh company? halofoods.co.uk/ranges/nutritionally-controlled

I don't know, but now I've got a desperate desire for an Alpen strawberry and yoghurt bar

Angelou79 · 13/04/2021 21:20

Was it the Alpen bars? Freeze dried strawberries & yoghurt?

Shamoo · 13/04/2021 21:21

I used to eat those halo ones - I think there was a mint one...

Mmn654123 · 13/04/2021 21:23
