Can anyone remember the bar with five different sections one was marzipan one mint cant remember the others lovely. Anne.

YES YES YES........and the reason I am shouting.......how many times have I asked family and friends if they remember this lovely bar of chocolate.......and the answer is always NO......

At last, people who remember the strawberry shape, the lime barrel (my favourite) I think one was coffee and a caramel one.......but it was a long time ago and I only remember my favourites it seems....

Thank you soooo much, I was beginning to thing I had dreamt it.....

ALL I need now, is for someone to remember the showboats......individually wrapped........they were chocolate cup cakes with sponge and cream on the top......lemon strawberry or chocolate with a small sweet.......wrapped in cellophane.......mostly in the 70's I think.....

C'mon Genes boardmembers.......make my day......

Yes I remember them ,but not the name!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I liked the barrel too.

I think this Cadbury's Choc bar was called Five Boys.
Can't stand Waggon Wheels, but don't have much of a sweet tooth any way

Wasn't that one made by Fry's - and called Five Centres?

They also did an all mint one and an orange one.

edit - I think they also did a plain vanilla type one which was just called Fry's cream bar??

You could be right there Broggy. I just pictured it in the purple foil that was a Cadbury trade mark.

I think the Frys one was just 5 bars Broggy, whereas the Cadburys one was a bar with a strawberry shape one and the others had different shapes on the slab of chocolate.........I remember it being Cadburys because that was the chocolate I liked at the time..... my Sis preferred the Frys....

Thanks ALLEN.......glad to know I have not gone doolally then......I can even taste those showboats now....... don't eat anything sweet now......never mind.....

Moonchild I remember showboats weird shapes yes they were lovely glad you knew the choc bar. Its in the museum at Cadbury World if you ever go. Anne.

I remember it,was't it a milktray bar?

I bought a huge bar yesterday,not that one so dont get exited lol, of dairy milk . It was a fatherday day one down from £6-99- £1-99. I did share it round though.

Moonchild I just been told the bar with the strawberry shape with lime barrel was the Cadbury Milk tray in a bar. Do u agree? Anne.

Kunzle cakes.......... Five boys chocolate, and sweet tobacco!!

*sigh* Them were the days!!

Love

Daff xxxx

That's right Anne......my favourite was the one that was boat shaped and had lemon cream on the top and a triangle jelly sweet......they were quite expensive as I remember, but on a special occasion I would buy some and they looked special on a plate....

I googled the bars......and came up with Cadburys Milk Tray Bar for the 5 selections.......and Frys Fruit Bars for the Frys one.......don't know if it is the right one for Frys though.......

I think it just got too expensive to make them.......shame, it saved buying a box of chocolates.....

Thanks ladies......yes Anne and Marion, it was Cadburys Milk Tray Bar.......such a simple name, and yet I couldn't remember it.......I do seem to remember that they had the shapes of what they were stamped out on the bar, but this was later changed and another one added, and they were put into rows with a line down the middle......6 pieces, different flavours ....

.....and yes, it was Kunzle, now owned by Lyons.......googled showboats.....why I didn't do that before I don't know.......they were such nice cakes, shame they went out of production.....

and Allen......those Waggon Wheels were lovely, but I am sure they were sooooo much bigger.....

sally

That website was useful Marion......I had forgotten most of those chocolates........now does anyone remember Harlequin.......soft centred chocolates......think they were made by Rowntrees.......and in a box shaped like the Roses box........I am sure that was their name......my Sis always preferred soft centred chocolates so they were good for her.....

We have one of those new,old-fashioned sweet shops in our town, not alot else mind,except bookies and estate agents, with over two hundred varieties of sweets. Yesterday I got the OH some Mint Imperials and Liquorise(sp) Allsorts. A little Aladdins cave, it is

I liked toffee mints. They were like long..mint imperials but had hard toffee in the middle.

We called the 5 flavour/shape one a SNACK Bar, in Australia.

Wagon Wheels here are now half the size I'm sure.

My aunt lives in Australia and she gets frys mint cream bars posted out to her.
My cousins daughter had the 5 flavoured ones wrapped up nicely on the side plate as favours at her wedding. They went down a treat and looked lovely. Wasnt there, but did see photos.
