I liked secrets - really fine strands of chocolate wrapped round and round this moussey chocolate middle. Also Mountain bars, shaped like a row of mountains complete with white chocolate snow-capped peaks and filled with fondant. Coconut boosts too, yum!

My faves were Nutty Bars!!! A chunk of fudge covered in peanuts. Mmm. I also liked Cabana Bars, which were filled with caramel, coconut and cherries.
Bring them back!!!

texan bars were brought back in my local shop. They were smaller than i remembered and not so good wonder if our memories get distorted about flavours as we get older. My favourites were fizzy lizzys

surely these sweets would be out of date by now?
can they still sell them?
texans had a revival, few years ago...smaller (or are my hands bigger) and ....wel....cheaper'ly made? not quite the same.
still, manufacturers are making a price point comodity, aimed at a preteen consume demographic....not yummy candy bars.
