This bar comes up a lot. We think it was made by Nestle, but some say Mars (Masterfoods). It was discontinued in 1996. More info in the FAQ section.

I'm secretly hoping that someone will gather an exhaustive list of people campaigning for the return of the said bar and send it to Nestle (or whoever) so I can hear the bloody last of it on here! Lol

"It's good but it's not right"! Tried to join the forum last year but for some reason could only view so had to keep my big mouth shut! I'm trying to make up for lost time! Was still an avid voyeur though!

According to this site it was made by nestle!

The Secret Chocolate bar was made by Nestlé in the 80's and 90's and was one of the most delicious treats ever. It had a sort of bird's nest chocolate outer with a creamy mousse center similar to the inside of a Walnut Whip. They came in a white protective card sleeve and apparently had a gold wrapper with the word Secret written on it in purple.

I don't know why people rant on about Secret bars. They were nothing special.

I actually thought Cadbury's made it. To this day until I saw that advert I could of sworn they were made by Cadbury.

Caramel, peanuts covered in white fudge prob round in the 90's. Sweet

I didn't think Zero bars had ever been released in the UK. You can buy them from Cybercandy.

Don't remember them. I am not keen on bars with nuts in/on them.

The clip further up this thread confirms they were made by Rowntree, now owned by Nestle.

There's a link from the Caramac page on Wikipedia to this site!

were Secret bars those ones with the strawberry/rasperry flavoured gunk in the middle of chocolate segments?  If so, they were to die for.  I thought they were made by Cadbury too.  Show's you how your mind plays tricks!

Title: Secret Bars
Post by: oldspice on January 05, 2007, 08:24:34 pm

No, Secret Bars had a soft, moussy filling, not fruit flavoured. They were made by Nestle.

Post by: on January 08, 2007, 09:18:58 am
I'm beginning to wonder if both Nestle and Cadbury had a Secret bar.
Title: Secret Bars
Post by: smurfboy on January 08, 2007, 09:52:59 pm
They didn't. Why on earth would they do that?
Title: Secret Bars
Post by: on January 09, 2007, 01:38:28 pm
Well, when I search for both on the Interweb, both have entries.  Check it out.  I think the Government has put something in the water to make us forget about those Cadbury, er, what was it again?
Title: Secret Bars
Post by: oldspice on January 09, 2007, 04:46:25 pm
I think it's just that people have wrongly attributed Secret bars to Cadbury. You can't rely on the Net being accurate. Even fools like me can post stuff on it!
Title: Secret Bars
Post by: smurfboy on January 09, 2007, 07:26:26 pm
I don't think it would even be legal to have two bars with the same name on sale at the same time.
Title: Secret Bars
Post by: on January 10, 2007, 10:45:40 am
OK, I've emailed Cadbury for some help.  It may not have been called a Secret bar, but I bet it was something close to that spelling.

Maybe it wouldn't matter if they kept it Secret.

I think there may have once been a bar called Top Secret. It just seems to ring a bell. I think it was about the same size and shape as an Old Jamaica bar.
