chocolate packed lunch type biscuits of the 70s and 80s

[thewomanwhothoughtshewasahat]

I'm trying to remember the name of one i used to have which was particularly gorgeous. I think it came in a sort of rum and raisin flavour.

Are you sure it wasn't more of a mars bar / Snickers / Topic type thing? With a design on the front a bit like a caribbean pirate wooden shack?

club?

No I know the ones you mean CLUBS

In a purple wrapper?

Yes Clubs - funny choc though iirc !

Oh yes club

they were manky weren't they, but we convinced ourselves they were nice.

My sister made up the quite good trick of putting them in the freezer before eating them.

The purple club had raisins in, but not rum that I recall. Green was mint, orange was orange, red was plain choc. There were loads.

i loved the orange one

Def not manky lovely thick chocolate I loved the mint ones.

no - it wasn't a club - exactly that sort of thing but not a club.

The tunnocks ones are still nice...

Aztec bar?? Not sure if that was biscuit based though.

i loved banjos and drifters

not very helpful but I think it was a something and something

MOntego?

old jamaican? that was a rum n raisin choc bar with galleon on front?
choc biscuits made me think of viscounts (?) vaguely remember some advert with ball room dancing couple (top hat, tails, white dress) dancing on enourmous biscuits... think they came in orange and mint though not rum raisin. or am i going mad....
you know, they were wrapped in either orange or green foil...round...?

i think it might have been jamaican something but isn't Old Jamaican an actual choc bar, not a biscuit thing?

viscounts were lovely

asking dh now.... he reckons club in purple wrapper but i disagree. i think that was just raisin. he says something about a raisin and biscuit yorkie.

rubbish. though he claims to remember biscuit, can't remember name.

have you tried

it's the biscuit oracle....

Old Jamaican was an actual choccie bar and not a biscuit.

mmm, yes, Viscounts.

And Toffee YoYos. Or Mint YoYos.

I liked Bandit Bars.

ah, check out their 'missing in actionb' section. alarmingly addictive...it all comes flooding back. could it have been a MONTEGO which was like a club...as suggested by JASPER who was also a biscuit in the late 90's (half mumsnetter half biscuit?). no offence Jasper. i do remember you. bit citrus-y.

If you like a lot of chocolate on your biscuit join our club

or something like that!

Wagon wheels anyone?

cye - you've got it - yes it was a montego. second only to trios

was it a Cariba? Coconutty and cherry type thing? Not a biscuit but definitely a choccy bar - yum
