    Below is image I would be familiar with EXCEPT; I never recall the name "Urney" written anywhere on the wrappers that I had bought and consumed and I would have eaten them from mid-late 1970's until they disappeared a number of years later. I was always fascinated in this bar as it was not Cadbury's or the usual confectionery firms to my mind at the time as a young child. HB sticks out in my mind which I could never understand as I thought HB could only make ice cream and not chocolate when I was a young child. Of course in late years you saw the introduction of MARS ice cream products etc;

    I'm sure "Cleeves" was the brand on the bar I remember from early to mid eighties. They then launched 3 other bars- strawberry, mint and orange versions with similar packaging.

    HB took over the Urney brands around 1974/5. Two and Two bars were definitely branded with HB in the mid to late seventies. I do recall the HB Milk Chocolate bars, and have fond memories of Rovals. Their knock-off of Smarties wasn’t so nice though. Catch bars, introduced around that time were also branded with HB as well.

    Ugh I remember getting Beanos easter eggs, the only thing worse was being given a "chocolate flavour" egg.

    I'm partial to your abracadabra,

    I'm raptured by the joy of it all.

    I think Beanos tasted like M&Ms except they were bigger.. and if memory serves were in a square box.

    Anyone else noted the return of Catch bars? another former Urney product.

    Instead of being made in Tallaght they're now made in Trinidad & Tobago 😀

    Catch it when you can the outside is chocolate and underneath the chocolate are crispies...

    They even have a website http://catchbar.com/


    Haven't bothered to buy one yet though, BRING BACK TWO AND TWO BARS they were the best chocolate you could get when I was a kid!!!

    Catch bars have been around for years!

    In fact, I'm not sure they were ever not available....

    Agree on the call for Two &Two, though - easily my favourite ever choc bar!

    Hmmm maybe. I noticed that my local Dunnes started stocking them recently.
