Help Needed - Names of Chocolate Bars/Sweets

32 replies

Leeds2 · 14/06/2021 16:30

I need to put together two bundles of chocolate bars/sweets, or biscuits I suppose, with a space and eco systems theme.

For space, I have Galaxy, Mars and Milk Way. Also Flying Saucers and Space Dust if these are still available?

I am struggling with Eco Systems and the best I can come up with is jelly worms, jelly snakes and jell spiders, and maybe white mice. Again, I don't know if I can get these other than from Amazon.

Does anyone have any ideas? I feel like I'm missing something obvious.

Lion bar? Percy pigs? Cadbury animal biscuits?

Possibly rainbow drops as a nod to the weather?

Freddos? Penguins?

Flying saucers you can get in the own brand sweet bit of most supermarkets. You could also include some Space Invaders?

It isn't being done for my benefit (gives daughter a Paddington stare!), but she tells me things like jungle or farm animals don't count. So can't have lions, penguins etc. I am not really sure why, but it seems insects are acceptable and I'm not sure why mice and snakes get a green light too!

Rainbow drops would probably be ok though. Do you know where they sell them Einszwei? I haven't seen them in years.

Penguins are totally eco - aren't they related to the melting polar ice caps?

You could have honeycomb pieces for ecosystem since bees pollinate so many plants.

Bargebill19 · 14/06/2021 17:13

B and m sell a lot of these things.

happygolurkey · 14/06/2021 17:18

or you could go one better and get sweets actually made from plants including cinnamon, ginger and marshmallow.
