Oh yes, I forgot the wonderful Mars Midnight. I loved the white nougat filling and the combination of it with the plain chocolate.

I loved those littel foil-covered Goldencup bars that used to cost 3d (old money - about 1p in new money).

Jellomello Bars

What were they?  I miss Trio's myself.

The were lovely! Two bars on a cardboard base (like a Bounty Bar) covered in chocolate, with a marshmallow and turkish delight-type filling in two strips, one on top of the other. The Rolling Stones used to advertise them. I think they've been gone for at least 35 years.

What a wonderful spread! I wonder what the difference was between Fry's Medley and Fry's Five Centres? I love the sound of the Duncan's Ginger Nut Bar. Duncan's were the original makers of Walnut Whip. Look at those Cadbury Bars! Strawberry Cream! What a feast for the eyes!

I knew you'd like it!  I want those Toffee Buttons.  And Caramac with Minty Fudge!  I didn't realise Twix was that old, I thought I remembered it appearing in the 70's.

Yep, I definitely want to get my choppers around that Caramac Minty Fudge.  I remember Toffee Buttons, only because I can remember a train journey to see my mum in hospital and my Aunty buying me some.  I remember Twix coming out in about 1967 or 68.
