More chocolate gnashing down memory lane!
I can almost taste them again!
A couple I enjoyed in New York 2001:
the delicious Butterfinger!
And the equally scrummy Oh Henry!
Do you like these American readers? Sadly only available in specialist sweet shops in the UK.
Back in the days of Blightyful yore there was Tiffin. This is the early Fry's version. I ate the later orange wrapper bar. Not sure who it was by. But, what a treat! fruit and biscuit and chocolate. Yum! Only Kendal Mint Cake equals it's adventuring spirit and ability to kick start quests.
Texan was a Seventies favourite. A proper filling puller if I recall. Delicious nougat smothered in choc. The big chew with a great wild west TV ad.
A personal favourite, Ruffle, a bar so delightful I would get one wherever I saw them. I still do. They're still around! Essential Raspberry goodness!
And maybe the best I've saved for last, Aztec! Now lost in the fickle skip of whims, Aztec was simply and utterly fabulous. A fluffy superised Mars Bar infused with instant bliss. If only they would bring those Aztecs back!
Which chocs or sweets would you resurrect readers?
I wanted to try the Butterfinger bar, but I kept dropping it !
ReplyDeleteBum bum! Are you here all week Mish?
DeleteActually no.
DeleteI'm on a City Break to Valencia, in Spain, at the moment.
Fifth Avenue, PayDay and Zagnut were favorite bars in the 70s... SFZ
ReplyDeleteAgain, all new to me SF! They sound really good!
DeleteI like messing with my family and refer to 'Butterfingers' as 'Futterbingers' LOL I do like them but too often, by the time I buy them they're old. The middle of the bar is supposed to be light and flaky, but more often than not it hardens into a hard-to-bite-into mass.
ReplyDeleteI soooooo want one Ed!
DeleteThe next village along is called Havercroft. You can guess what our young daughter used to call it! Ha ha!
