Caramac!! My beloved.

Milkybar gold is nothing in comparison.

I know this has been done so many times but what chocolate bars do you think should be brought back?
I always reminisce of echo bars.

Yes to echo bars, and milky bar choo!

Ladyj84 · 08/11/2023 10:09

Our fam love caramac be we bought a load a couple of months back as heard it was going to be stopped

ChipButtiesRule · 08/11/2023 10:10

Callebaut gold.

We just buy a big bag of callets and eat them in little (ish) portions.

Mmmmmm.

Caramac is a rancid abomination and the world should rejoice to be free of it 😁

It's not in bars but callebaut gold is sensational, upmarket Caramac.
until a couple of years ago I made chocolates/Pâtisserie for sale and the gold is absolutely delectable. It comes in pastilles for melting but you can just eat them by the handful. I think it's easy to buy online.
I also adore caramac. No way I'm buying that Cadbury shite

Marks and Spencer's chocolate covered turkish delight bars. So much nicer than Fry's.

I was just going to say this. Very disappointing M & S

Silvers11 · 08/11/2023 10:15

Cadbury's make Caramilk bars - very very similar to Caramac

My user name speaks for me 😞

Yes! My favourite ever chocolate bar 😢

notprincehamlet · 08/11/2023 10:25

Won't somebody think about the rad dude (drives a Datsun, eats Caramac)

evryevrytime · 08/11/2023 10:31

Oh god this is terrible news! My favourite of all time! 😪

Maybe they'll bring out special edition revival Caramac type things. I was delighted when they brought back Cadbury Puds after a hiatus.

Elphame · 08/11/2023 10:40

I thought it was long gone anyway tbh.

I never bought it as I don’t buy Nestle products

AirFryerFrequentFlyer · 08/11/2023 10:47

I'm another Nestle boycotter. Due to their actions in persuading women in developing countries that their formula is better than breast milk - in areas where clean safe water is not guaranteed. They literally kill babies for profits. Capitalism at its scummiest best.

Never really liked them, I don’t particularly like nestle chocolate.

I mourned the Cadbury marble bar for years until they started selling big bars in B&M a couple of years ago so I bought some. They were ok but not as good as I remembered.

I think they are Australian. The chocolate isn't the normal Cadburys we have here so they weren't as nice. I really miss them too.

uhOhOP · 08/11/2023 09:32

Maybe they should stop the production of absolutely everything. The world would be a great deal better off without that particular conglomerate.

Exactly!

I still haven't gotten over the loss of Fuse bars.

GonnaGetGoingReturns · 08/11/2023 11:40

Nomorecoconutboosts · 08/11/2023 09:35

Also: topics, dark bounty bars, cabana, Texan bars.

and there is never any proper notice they just disappear no chance to stock up

Topic aren’t made by nestle.

Even after I saw someone had bitten into a dead mouse whilst eating one I still liked them.

GonnaGetGoingReturns · 08/11/2023 11:42

As an aside a few years ago I worked at Nestle HQ as a temp, just when they were starting GM food. There were a lot of queries about that as far as I know, I think I was in marketing.

I absolutely LOVED mars bar delights. Like LOVED them. Gutted they are gone

Same. Why do they discontinue bars which are popular?

Slushynana · 08/11/2023 10:01

I loved Bar Six, they used to have them in the swimming pool vending machine

Blimey, I'd forgotten about them. That takes me right back in time.🤔

BirthdayQuestions · 08/11/2023 11:51

Marks and Spencer do a blonde chocolate. It will fill the hole and isn't Nestle.

MmedeGouge · 08/11/2023 11:53

It’s never tasted the same since they dispensed with the gold wrapping foil.
(Shows age!)

Nomorecoconutboosts · 08/11/2023 11:55

@GonnaGetGoingReturns
yes topic were made by mars but that still answers the original op plus the thread has evolved. Which is good - lighthearted chit chat on a rainy Wednesday before I do the ironing!

TotalOverhaul · 08/11/2023 09:34

Nutty bars - which have no chocolate. But they were so good. Soft fudge rolled in blanched unsalted peanuts. Simple perfection.

OMG Nobody I speak to remembers those! I thought I'd imagined it. There is a poor imitation that rees's do but its in chocolate so nowhere near the same. Caramac isn't what it used to be either!

SingingSands · 08/11/2023 11:56

What?! Nooooo!

I'm hitting up Home Bargains at lunchtime to see if I can find any.
