It was a creme egg sized chocolate egg that split into two halves each filled with caramel and a whole hazelnut and was called Nutcracker. Circa 1988.

Ooh noodle that’s made my teeth curl! Reminds me of the advert from the 70’s I think when the clip stops just before a girl treads on a bottle on the beach.😬
Mum used to put a scoop of ice cream in the cream soda after the Corona van man had been round.
I too am guilty of trying a spoonful of horlicks but it’s just not the same.

Alleycat, you can get fantastic coffee walnut whips online from a company called Hadleigh Maid. They do milk and dark chocolate, different flavours and even vegan ones. I bought some to give my friends at Christmas and everyone agreed they are the best.
