Toffee crunch.

There's some stuff being sold online under the same name, but it absolutely isn't the right stuff.

Spangles.

Bar Six
Terry's Waifa ( milk and dark)
Ice Breaker
Country Style (in the red gingham wrapper!)

I remember all these. Used to love Waifa and Bar Six as a kid.

Another vote for pacers and pyramints, and I don't even like mint that much!
Also Terry's Neapolitans
There's another one that I only have a distant memory of, but I don't know what it was called. It was a long, tube shape covered in chocolate and inside was sort of soft honeycomb, but in different flavours and colours, strawberry, mint, etc.

Yes Terry neopolitans, a must at Christmas, awesome they were, loved the coffee and orange flavours in dark and milk chocolate.

Fry’s Five Centres. Five centres, ffs, what more does one need from life?

There was a chocolate box which was a triangle shaped, and had dark chocolate chocolates in early 90s I think. Unusually every chocolate in it someone in the family really liked so it was a really good set for us.
I think it was green and the name began with "Tri..."

My ddad always asks me for a sugar kipper when I go to the coast , the look on his face when I told him that they were no longer made 🥺

Yes to Neapolitans!

Definitely not Black Magic. I'm wondering if it was something like "Bier-ritz" or am I confusing it with something. I know that doesn't begin with "Tri" either!

That's it! So not green and not beginning with "Tri"... but the chocolates were good.
Thank you! It was really bugging me not being able to remember.

Nutty bars.

I’m always talking about Nutty Bars. I still miss them now.

There is a FB group called “bring back the Nutty Bar”.

ColeensBoot · 12/11/2022 22:24

Ever sucked a hot chocolate through a spira? If not you haven't LIVED! :)

actually Cadbury chocolate is so rubbish now I don't think it would mold into the spira shape :(

IfIGoThereWillBeTrouble · 12/11/2022 22:30

I was once given a box of Duc D’O (or similar) chocolates. Inside was a lovely marzipan sweet (yes, I’m weird, I love marzipan) with an alcoholic taste. A very warming marzipan.

I have never ever found a box again. I still look for them now.
