One chocolate bar that I noticed was missing from these is Ice Breaker made by Cadbury’s. I even wrote to them asking if they’d bring it back but they just said something about bringing out different bars all the time. Apart from mint Aero, I can’t think of any other bar that’s minty. Ice Breaker had shards of mint inside the chocolate and the bar was wrapped in a pale blue foil wrapper. Those were the days. Most bars these days are smaller but still cost a lot!

Also, Mintola and Munchies, Truffle Bars (still available as individual chocolates), Terry's Wafer. Aztec was like an even sweeter version of a Mars Bar, if such a thing is possible. Golden Cup was nice and runny inside. My mother would buy a bar of chocolate on Saturday evening from the corner shop, usually a Fry's mint or fruit flavour bar, and slowly eat it over the while watching TV. My bar of chocolate took five minutes to eat. I always envied kids who made their treats last the whole day. My uncle could make a box of chocolates last a year.

Bar Six was one of the nicest chocolate bars ever. I can still vividly summon up the memory of the taste in my mouth. For anyone too young or those who have forgotten, it was like a Kit-Kit but with much creamier chocolate and a softer, crumblier wafer. I think I actually only had about half a dozen as a kid, but they left an everlasting memory with me.

Something about the era just makes me feel uncomfortable - the fashion, the design, the aesthetic. I was born in 1970, so I don't know why it weirds me out so much.

You can still get Bounty bars - the blue one is milk chocolate, the red one is plain chocolate! I half- remember Cadbury’s Toffee Buttons! Caramacs were nice - more than one is a bit much, though! Fry’s Turkish Delight - chocolate covered soap! I once won a fancy dress parade as The Milky Bar Kid - a cowboy outfit, a pair of round-framed spectacles that had previously belonged to my older sister, with the lenses removed and a waistband or whatever made up of Milky Bars - which, under the hot sunshine that we had that day, melted - got covered in condensed milk - the Milky Bars were on me - literally! Curly Wurlys were originally 6d - then we went decimal and they became 2 1/2p, rising to 3p - Terry Scott, in his schoolboy character role, used to advertise them - one ad featured him on a ghost train!

I especially like the prices back then, many you can still buy, like the crunchie, fry's chocolate and many have been lost to history, even a packet of crisps were less than 10p in the 1970s

Does anyone remember the name of that chocolate bar that was like a box of chocolates? It was a chocolate bar that had 6 different centers. Strawberry, orange, toffee etc. It was sold in the 1980's in the UK.

@@gills4thrills I don't remember. I know it wasn't the Fry's Five Centers. It was a fairly small oblong chocolate bar and each different flavour had a different raised shape. So the strawberry flavour had a raised strawberry shape etc. I remember getting them in the early 1980's as a kid but then it disappeared and i've never seen it since.

@@gills4thrills LOL! I just asked my mum and she remembered it! It was called a Milk Tray Bar. If you type it into Google you can see pics of it. Apparently it had a cult following in the 1970's but they stopped making it in 1981. That's probably why I can barely remember it. So basically it was Milk Tray chocolates but in a small bar. Cool😎

@chocitout They'd probably be too expensive to be commercial these days. The size and composition of sweets has been debased over the years to try and keep the price down. It would be nice if the manufacturers made the recipes available to specialist makers though. I'm sure they must still have the recipes in a vault somewhere for most of these sweets. I'd happily pay more for my childhood favourites!
