Two & Two bars

Well, I remember them so..... I'd say 70's!

Mind you, I can remember Milk Tray bars that no-one else seems to.....

Ah the two and two bars, I loved when they were priced at 4p and I'd annoy the shopkeeper by asking how much a two and two bar was just to hear him say four

Well now, some nice bumpage here. Almost two years, but, I promise it's worth it.

Prompted by a thread on a forum I frequent, entitled 'Old sweets from when you were a kid' my first thoughts went not to sweets, as such, but an old favourite from my youth... a Two & Two bar. Just for a lark, I decided I'd see what, if anything, Google would come up with. And top of the list was this thread. The nostalgia I felt reading here was incredible. Many times I've thought of the Two & Two bar, and wondered if anyone else remember them as fondly as I did. Like Kelle, I too am a chocaholic. And one with a long memory.

I'd no recollection who made them, and then I saw the magic name of Urney's. This nearly brought me to tears, as many many moons ago, my dear departed Dad used to work there for a short time. I remember one night I nearly died and went to Heaven when he brought home a load of 'seconds' and mis-shapes that couldn't be packaged and sold. Among tese were some orange cream bars which were another favourite back then.

So back to Google again, and I searched for Urney's Two & Two, and lo and behold, I got the following link, which brought further joy, with the news that there is a plan to produce these again.

I'll be like the 4 year old I once was when I first discovered them in 1971, when some days my Ma would buy me one on the way to school, until Urney's went out of business, maybe 3-4 years later. But now, once again I wait with excited anticipation for what will hopefully be a taste of my early childhood. Hagar described them above as... "Nine squares, in three rows of three, each connected to the next by a rounded chocolate ridge" Well, being a kid, I used to think of them as a tunnel joining each one. Much more exciting and imaginative to a young boy! Not that ridge was in my vocabulary then!

Welcome to L.C. Confectionery Ltd. My name is Leo Cummins and I would like to introduce you to our range of chocolate and sugar confectionery products which are featured in the links to the right.

Developing new products and packaging takes time, and so over 35 years since last produced we are proud to reintroduce to the marketplace the famous Cleeves Slab Toffee.

Irish distribution is via Robert Roberts Ltd and we will be actively seeking to reintroduce the product to international markets in 2009.

We have also appointed Robert Roberts Ltd as our exclusive distributors in Ireland for our renowned Wilton Macaroon Bars and we look forward to seeing them enjoy wider distribution in the years ahead as people constantly say to us that they haven't seen Macaroon Bars in years !

Retro brands are in they say, so we look forward to proving them right through 2009 as we introduce old favourites such as Klipso, Two and Two, Rovals, Urney Chocolate Bars and Hadji Bey's Turkish Delight.


Brings a tear to my eye.

Now, while we're reminiscing... Does anyone remember a HB ice cream called Kilimanjaro? The nearest thing I can compare it to would be a solero, in that it was ice cream with an ice pop outer shell. But the taste was much different. Heavenly! It would have been out around 1778-82 or thereabouts, but probably not that long, as it was only available for a relatively short time. I was gutted when I went into a shop one day to buy one, to be told they were out of stock and they wouldn't be getting them in again! :eek: :mad:

Yeah I remember Cleves Two and Two. They must've been out before and discontinued 'cos when they came out in the early eighties the ad on tv said 'your old friend two and two is back!' I remember the little leprechaun with the fishing rod on each square. The side with the squares was dark or plain choc and the flat back part was milk choc. The inside was two different fondant, beige and cream coloured. Similar to the diamond shaped sweet that used to be in Black Magic (they don't have that one anymore sadly).
I have happy memories of summers in my Granny's when Kilimanjaros were out. They were lovely.

Two & Two Bars. Oh God the wonderful memories. Does anyone remember the Fruit Cocktail bar? It was the same shape and size as the Two & Two but I think it was dark chocolate with an orange and strawberry and I think lime filling. It was in a dark brown wrapper. It was indeed a beautiful thing.

I remember 3 bars the same size and shape with similar wrapper as 2&2..one was mint, one orange and one strawberry. Were they the bars you're talking about?

Sorry, dunno how I didn't absorb that.
