I remember those bars too Tilly and Madeleine but was never a fan of crème fillings. My mum loved them though.
Thinking of chocolate bars of yore I got thinking about the bars of Milk Tray. Remember those? Several different fillings in one bar. I liked the caramel one but hated the lime cordial … yuk.
I had just been thinking about that particular bar Grandmadinosaur it was my favourite at the time and it was the first thing I bought when sweet rationing ended. I think the top of the square of chocolate was shaped like the individual chocolate was in the box. I shall now have to Google when sweet rationing ended.
I'm feeling very grown up. I've discovered that I'm finding milk chocolate just too sweet and actually preferring dark chocolate. Finally, I'm sophisticated!
Not a chocolate bar but my daughter bought me last Xmas a bag of the the M&S Very Merry Munch which I tried not to polish off in one go! It's a mix of milk and white chocolate popcorn, dark chocolate pretzels, milk chocolate peanut clusters and caramel almonds. The 'gift' tins are £10 but I found the refill bag selling at £7 which is back on the shelves (they only put them out for Xmas :'( ). Naughty, but nice!
I used to love all those mentioned but now find them far too sweet. I do enjoy a couple of squares of 85% choc occasionally. Now offer me a crisp and I’ll snatch your hand off.
I would STRONGLY recommend Moser Roth from ALDI, the smooth milk chocolate - you get five individually wrapped bars. They do a nice dark mint choc one as well but this is my favourite. You cannot tell it apart from Lindt.
