This question applies to the elder generation of this forum members, but the younger generation are more than welcome to contribute....

What was your favourite Chocolate Bar when you was a child?

What Chocolate Bar would you like to see back on the shelves?

My childhood favourite was Banjo.

I'm not the right generation and it probably shows as I've never heard of a Banjo!! Haha  

I always think it would be fun when I'm older to make up random stuff to confuse people, like someone will ask what my favourite chocolate was when I was young and I'd say a random word like "Chipsticky" and they won't know!! I'd tell them of course but just think it would be silly, although I wonder if any current older people do the same to me now!

My favourite growing up was a Freddo, which I didn't know have actually been around since 1930 and sold to Cadburys in the 60s!!

My favourite chocolate bar growing up as a child was a cadbury's Marble bar that got discontinued it was like white and milk chocolate mixed together and tasted like those guylian seashells chocolate.

Nowadays my favoruite chocolate is kinder bueno white chocolate or a milkybar. White chocolate is my favourite chocolate.

Well, my favourite chocolate snack is probably maltesers or chocolate covered honeycomb... Chocolate bar though, probably Crunchie? I guess that is just chocolate covered honeycomb in bar form :P

Mmmmmm maltesers 😍😍 and Crunchiesssss yummmmmmm! 

I remember the Marble bar @rubin16! I wasn't a huge fan but they were a nice change

I am a big food person and always like trying different stuff especially the finer things and I have been lucky to try some decent ones including chocolates from a Scottish company (which charge £2.50 per bitesize chocolate) that supplies chocolate to Michelin star restaurants and used to be the Queen's choice and ...

... my favourite chocolate ever has to be Cadbury's ... just a plain Dairy Milk ... I don't know what it is about it but no other chocolate seems to match it ... apparently Americans don't like it as they put too much cream in it or something so that may be what I like about it ...

I loved Aztec bars when I was a kid.

Munchies, were my favourite.  @oldngrumpy in terms of sweets, excluding chocolate, you must remember the Jamboree Bag it contained a small toy, an assortment of sweets, and a toffee. I also liked the Sherbet Fountain with the liquorice dipping stick.

I can’t remember that far back lol. And I’m diabetic.

@MW123 ... the jamboree bags - a blast from the past.  I'd totally forgotten about them 

Cadbury's Coconut Boost were heavenly.  A big boo boo by Cadbury's discontinuing them IMO

A nightly ritual for years on the way home from work,  a cold pint of full cream milk and 2 Coconut Boosts.  Was bliss.  

Not really a chocolate person now but someone bought my wife Artisan homemade chocolates at Christmas ... ohhh they were rich and sickly.  Bloody lovely they were.
The same person bought her some Fortnum & Mason chocolate for Easter.  Uck.  Ultra high end prices for terrible chocolate IMO

Just had a flashback to times gone when we would wrap pies in foil, put them on the exhaust manifold of the van and have lovely hot pies when we got to work

I used to love Choc-Dips, I miss them.

^ I loved them. They are a bit stingy on the chocolate, though.

Now I am partial to a Kinder Bueno, Lindor Truffles, or an Aero.

Freddo the Frog! I won a competition as a kid and had my joke printed on the packet 😁 I can't remember the joke, it would have been terrible. But I won lots of chocolate frogs!
Now I could eat and eat reeses peanut butter cups 
Do they still do Old Jamaican Rum chocolate bars?

Albus_Scope

Wow, so we're in the presence of a chocolate celebrity then @onedayatatime excellent work!  I've not seen an Old Jamaican choccy bar in years, that's a blast from the past. 

I've just stocked up on Double Decker's, I am a very happy mod today.

I love ALL chocolate bars lol 

does anyone remember curly wurly? 

I also remember when bars of chocolate were almost double the size what the are now  

fry’s peppermint cream is great too and I remember when they sold one that had different colour fondant cream filling that I loved . 

Jimm_Scope

Used to be Toffee Crisp before I stopped buying anything Nestle made.

Now it's probably a crunchie or malteser bar. Though I prefer chocolate covered honeycomb chunks and maltesers to the bar versions.

Do curly wurlys no longer exist? They must surely still be around???

We'd put them in the fridge before we ate them, would harden the fudge and make them snap
