I'll start. Mars delight. Heaven in a wrapper.

coconut boost - annoying as I’d just got into them before they disappeared.

Drifters - forgotten all about them, they were great.

Boxachocs · 11/11/2022 22:24

Fuse and Spira

Mint cracknell (although it cut my tongue it was so sharp). Used to come in a long packet with two bars.

Cadbury's border creme eggs - with a tartan foil wrapper

Cadbury's Strollers (they were like Revels but without the evil orange ones).

INeedABrewPlease · 11/11/2022 22:38

What a great thread! I had totally forgotten about 5,4,3,2,1s, citrus polos and toffos. Really want them now!

Bassett’s spearmint imperials.😋 Head and shoulders above any other mints.

I miss gorgeous 1970/80's wafer based bars - Kitkat's are no substitute.
I loved:
Cadbury's Bar Six - awesome Wafer bar with Hazelnut cream.
Wafia made by Terry's of York in milk or dark chocolate. Dark chocolate was divine.
Banjo - Light crisp wafer bar. Came in toasted coconut and roast nut versions.
I also loved Cadbury Country Style bars - red and white gingham paper wrapper . It had really crunchy biscuits balls and raisins in it.

Even if the bars made a comeback they would taste bad as Mondelez Kraft and other big brands have really degraded their chocolate.

@Cigarettesaftersex1
They were discontinued in 2019, if they have been quietly brought back, that would make me incredibly happy. I half feel like going down our local coop now to see if they have some... Pic for old times sake!

Oh and a bar of chocolate called Ice Breaker I think

RedHelenB · 11/11/2022 22:45

Toffos, the assorted flavours.

RedHelenB · 11/11/2022 22:45

Cadbury’s Old Jamaica, oh I wish they sold this now.

You can still get this at Morrisons

INeedABrewPlease · 11/11/2022 22:46

I lived for tangy orange Hubba Bubba as a child.

Sarah68tinker · 11/11/2022 22:48

Pacers, spangles and texan bars. Also miss the quarter pound sweets you could buy.

GG1986 · 11/11/2022 22:49

Definitely fuse!! I loved them

Redwineandroses · 11/11/2022 22:50

Timeout bars. Not the Timeout wafer nonsense!

Spudina · 11/11/2022 22:52

Spira. Obviously.

Do McVitie's Boasters count as confectionery?

In any event, they were 👌🏼

SapatSea · 11/11/2022 22:55

@Cherrysherbet - Cabana. That's a blast from the past. It was so sweet! Tropical and exotic.
@shyposter - Border Creme eggs were the most sought after eggs at the school Tuck shop. Chocolate fondant inside - so much nicer than the standard creme egg.

ginandoreos · 11/11/2022 22:56

Thank you to all the Maverick appreciators - I have been trying to get friends to remember them for years and no one does! There was so much packed into those bars!

Great shout on the citrus polos I can practically taste them now!

Cherry drops from the swimming pool vending machine if I was lucky... I think they might still be around? Sorry if already mentioned!
