Anyone remember this chocolate bar?

nlgbbbblth

Two and Two chocolate

was made by Rowntree Macintosh - and was around late 1970s/early 1980s

about 9 squares of dark(ish) chocolate which had a kind of fondant, soft icing-type centre (as soft as the stuff in Creme Eggs). Hard to describe taste but very nice

advertisement on TV for it was quite violent - showed a chap jumping onto/off/breaking a table

anyone remember it?

sharkman

Yeah , It was a Two and Two bar , Think Rowntree's made it .

nlgbbbblth

littleninja

Oops soz... got caught up in nostalgia there for a bit!!!

I remember a Finnish chcolate bar that had anything up to four flavours of schtuff between its delicious ebony layers. Probably not relevant.

Are you sure it wasn't made by Urney? They are the only bars I can remember with nine squares each joined by a raised line. each square had a little leprechaun embossed on top.

A couple of years ago these moulds seem to have been used by another choc manufacturer but it was cheap shyte and died off the market. Might have been HB.

Quatre Mains

- don;t remember that one. The one I remember most from that period is the Banjo bar

Walter Ego

I'll see your Banjo Bar and raise you an Aztec Bar.;)

Quatre Mains

- you got me there!

While I spent the last 20 mins trying to remember more bars, one sprung to mind but I can;t remember the name of it. It was the same size as a penguin, and had I think a mostly white wrapper with blue and red in there too. Inside was the same 'structure' as a penguin except the biscuit wasn't brown. Any ideas?

I'd forgotten all about those. Some of the Ritter Sport bars remind me a little of them now that I think of it.

All other bars should tremble before the pikey cheapness of PANKY BARS!

Pfft, yer only a youngster. They were 8 pence when I was buying them. By the time thwy were 10p they'd made them smaller. Like someone did to Wham Bars.

markluver

never heard of it!

They were nice. Or at least I liked them. The newer Boost bars are just renamed Starbars. They're just soft Moro bars to be honest.

Good man yourself, right on the money. That was really bugging me.

Jr.Shabadu, they were Time bars. They were rotten. Just like Highland Toffee

Two & Two were made by Urney who became HB & for a brief period I think T&R (tennant & Ruttle - Toblerone) were involved for a while but maybe only in the distribution.

I think United is one of those bars.

Boost was not replaced by Starbar completely different bar.

Snickers = Marathon

Nunch = StarBar

Remember Lunch, Pacers. Catch made many reappearances. I see NUTS is back out in Ireland.

You know if you buy Twixes or Mars from street sellers that they taste different to the ones bought in the shops because the chocolate is different up north and in Uk.
Also certain bars manufactured by Cadbury are made in different plants in different countries.

Remember Toffee Tuffee ice cream, the predecessor of say a Feast - only the centre bit was soft.

United bars! these boards are like an almanac FFS! You are the Jimmy Magee of seventies sweets

Correct, boost had cocunut inside not Peanuts - way nicer than a Star Bar. Saw a catch bar the other day. And lunch bars - yok!

Dodgiest chocolate bar from the 70s (in this case very early 70s) has to have been the Pink Panther Bar. Pink chocolate (I assume it was just white chocolate with food dye) and a picture of the pink panther on the front. Very sickly sweet - I can feel my teeth rotting at the very thought of them.

Oh man , I was only having this conversation in work the other day and nobody agreed with me .... does anyone remember the first Boosts containing coconut ?

Could be wrong but I think coconut ones came years later.

No 2n2

My favourite before they changed it to less toffee version. I used to let them stick to my brace and lick it off !

God they were awful. I tried them in France a couple of years ago & they are much nicer there. They even have them in a biscuit form ... nyom

Hardly from the 70s though?... I remember them from the late 80s... rotten stuff alright though

as far as choco princes go you can still get them here (think tesco sell them as packs of biscuit bars).. and they're tasty

Don't take away my Breakaway!

hmmm loved Highland Toffee
