Dear Cadbury’s/Nestlé/other chocolate manufacturers, do us a small favour…
Well it’s a pretty big favour, actually. We want to see the following chocolate bars brought back – if it worked for the Wispa in 2007, then surely it can work for a few of these.
Even if it just means the return of the majestic Mars Delight, this list will not have been in vain.
Cadbury Top Deck
A bar that appeared, and disappeared, in the space of a few short years around the mid-to-late 1990s in Irish shops, you can still get them in parts of Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.
The top half was white chocolate, the bottom half was milk chocolate, and that was it. We still get cravings.
Rowntree’s Secret
Spindly chocolate covering a mousse filling, you’d never get it out of the packet in one piece but it was delicious.
5-4-3-2-1
A Primary School lunchbox staple, along with an apple that you never ate and a cheese sandwich that you didn’t trust.
We loved a 5-4-3-2-1.
Triple Chocolate Twix
We don’t always love updated versions of the classics, but the Triple Chocolate Twix had chocolate flavoured butter cookie and chocolate flavoured caramel.
It was first released as a limited edition bar in 1991 and we want it back.
Cadbury Dream
The white chocolate version of the Dairy Milk was introduced in 2002, but nowadays you can only come across them in the Southern Hemisphere.
Kit-Kat Senses
How could anyone have decided that a praline-filled Kit-Kat should come off the shelves?
Cadbury’s Smiley
While we’re on the whole orange-flavoured buzz, let’s take a moment to remember the Smiley.
A Chomp with a twist, really, and we miss it dearly.
Cadbury’s TimeOut
Look, we’re fine with the recently introduced TimeOut Wafer thing. It goes hand-in-hand with a good cup of tea.
However, we really miss the old version of the TimeOut, that sliver of Flake between two wafers covered in chocolate.
Cadbury’s Snowflake
Closer to a Twirl than a Flake, in reality, but let’s not nit-pick because these were delicious.
Hopefully they’ll make a glorious return. We’re predicting Winter 2017.
Cadbury’s Touchdown
Another lunchtime favourite for any kid growing up in the 1980s and 1990s. A more nostalgic version of the TimeOut Wafer.
Cadbury’s Marble
A real blast from the past – white and milk chocolate with a hazelnut centre. There were rumours of its return in 2015 but we’ve tried searching them out to no avail.
Fuse
Good news – this is one that Cadbury’s is actually in the process of bringing back, after it beat the Marble bar in a public vote in 2015.
We await the return of the nutty, fruity, crunchy block of a bar with glee.
Wispa Bite
Not to be confused with the Bitsa Wispa that you can buy in sharing bags, the Wispa Bite was a thing of extraordinary greatness that had a short lifespan in the early 2000s.
Gone far too soon, this was a mix of velvety chocolate, caramel and biscuit pieces.
Mars Delight
Just look at it.
Start writing those letters, somebody start a petition, etc etc.
If there are any other bars that you feel we left out of this very important list, tweet us or let us know in the Facebook comments.
