They're like that, but with biscuit pieces instead of nuts. Definitely worth trying one. Edited September 18, 2019 by Sam-AVFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Boost bars are great. I seem to recall there being different ones at launch and on checking wiki, I was right Quote Boost was launched in 1985 as a tough coconut and caramel bar coated in chocolate. It was then relaunched in a further two variants: a peanut and caramel version (a rebranding of the previously available Starbar) and a biscuit version. The coconut version is no longer available and the peanut version has again been rebranded as Starbar. The biscuit version is now the standard Boost bar. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boost_(chocolate_bar) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A thin Tunnocks Caramel Wafer covered in nuts. I don't mind them but...In a straight fight I'd pick the Tunnocks Wafer (Plain Chocolate) every time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time I come home I have to buy boost bars and penguins to take back for people in germany I've taken pretty much all of them over for people to try and they're the only ones that they want more of And as for coconut... Red bounty is top 5 for me too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethRDR Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Chocolate bars peaked with Rowntree's Secret back in the 80s/90s and such giddy heights of confection-perfection will ne'er again be reached. I have long been of the belief that all involved in the design and production were silenced by "Big Choc" to save the wider snack industry from collapse. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coconut should only ever be eaten in curries, I'm yet to find another acceptable use for it I'm the opposite. Coconut ice is good, I like Bounties (unlike most bars, I prefer milk to plain chocolate here). But I don't much like curries to start with, and coconut only makes them worse. In fact the only thing worse in a curry is (and I'm gagging even typing the word) spinach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Recently I've watched a few videos on youtube of Americans trying British candy, and they all seem to really like Cadbury Crunchie a lot, but as a child when I was lucky enough to get a selection box (assortment of chocolate bars packaged together) for christmas I'd always leave the crunchie until last, was never keen on the texture of the honeycomb filling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hated crunchie as a child, but now I’m older and my taste buds have changed I like a crunchie... you should retry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 It wasn't so much the taste but rather the texture and the sensation of biting through it that I didn't like. But I'll try a mini one when a chance presents itself and see if I feel any differently about them now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's because a Crunchie is a Butterfinger made professionally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Butterfingers, like the majority of American chocolate bars, are **** horrendous things Dark milky way and the ones that are like bounties but with an almond thrown in on the top get a pass but the rest of them can go in the bin Don't get their obsession with peanut butter chocolate bars either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 I've just had a square of a 85% chocolate bar, you only need a small piece of that really powerful stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
