Having been on the Easter Eggs thread on the GD forum, I just wondered who else out there is partial to Caramacs? Personally as soon as they're mentioned in conversation (as occasionally they are), I have an immediate craving and have to go get one from teh newsagents.

Anyone else share this sad addiction?

ME ME

Yes

Coooeeee!! Thank you midiboy. The best way to eat them is to break them into smallish squares and let them melt slowly on the tongue! Orgasmic isn't the word. Abolsutely divine.





*puts on shoes and toddles off to find Caramac bar*

I didn't know they still made Caramacs! The name takes me back to my childhood when I used to go to stay with my Nan. She'd give me pocket money for sweets and after much consideration I'd always buy Old English Spangles with perhaps a Mint Cracknel - and my nan's favourite was Caramac and Newberry Fruit Thins.

they used to be much darker in colour and tasted much stronger - the ones you get now taste insipid to me.

Remember Mint Cracknell. A close second to Caramac. Yes, I have a sweet tooth.

Oohh...I don't know. You may not need a vial of insulin to accompany the newer bars but they're still fairly tasty

Yes, i remember Mint Cracknell with fondness

Ooohhh! I loved Mint Cracknell - and Ice Breaker chocolate bars with the little bits of mint cracknelly stuff through them.

What about Husky Bars? And Swiskit (can't recall spelling) - even remember the ad on tv - "I'll risk it for a Swiskit"

Here's one for you. I've asked already, but everybody thought I was slavering!!

A bar of chocolate, 8 squares, 2 across and 4 down, all different flavours. What was it called? It WASN'T Frys Cream though. Any help?? Anybody actually remember it. I'm talking about 30 ish years ago!

I know exactly what you mean retro.ron - hope the name comes to me soon! What about Milk Tray bars? I used to love the lime barrel.

I can remember them - just can't think of the name...

Ooooooh Yeaaaaaahhhhhh

I love Caramacs, but you don't get much for your money - they're so thin

I used to love those Caramac Kit Kats - do they still do those?

THAT'S IT!!!

Thank you so much. Pity you can't still buy them.

Ooogh! I remember them too and I also loved the lime barrel. Was that what you were thinking of retro.ron cos I seem to remember a cadbury's bar that had different flavours...?

Caramac Kit Kats were only for a trial period. Should bring them back - they were soooo goooood.

Definitely Milk Tray bar. Just googled it. What about space dust???

i know this is a caramac thread (which I love) but retro.ron is chatting about chocolate from the past - so I will too!
Please, does ANYONE remember Hellas bars???!!!!

omigods!!!! why couldn't you have started this thread before i went shopping???

I LOVE caramac, have to really hunt to find them though, and i am convinced it doesn't taste as good as it did 35 years ago when i was a child

Another old one Grand Seville was also a favourite of mine

I'm sorry Midiboy - we seem to have hijacked your Caramac thread. Me and my Mint Cracknell comment! Will buy a Caramac for a taste of nostalgia next time I shop.

Another Caramac fan here!

I used to love them... oh the good days..
