Even More Lost Chocolate of the Past 

When you opened a box of chocolates in the 80s they looked a lot better than they do today, and tasted better. all the chocolates today are the same.

Loved Dark Chocolate Bountys...sadly gone forever 😢..

Wonderful, I loved the days of sliding the paper sleeve off a bar, then unfolding the foil wrapper. It really built up the anticipation of chocolatey pleasure to come.

I remember a Rupert bear, orange chocolate bar..and a pink panther, strawberry pink bar

I absolutely loved Caramac. It was my favourite. Shame it’s gone!

I loved rowntrees cabana bars.🥰

Those were the days before Quality Street got the cheap and nasty paper wrappers to be 'environmentally friendly' but are then put in plastic tubs that could hold four times the contents, meanwhile Cadbury attempt to get five treat size bags and bars in the largest selection box possible hoping the consumer doesn't notice 😂

i used to love the caramac, as well as the chocolate turkish delight, full of eastern promise.

Awesome. I am 55 years old now and this brought back so many memories. I remember most of these and have eaten most of them being brought up in the 70’s and 80’s. The best era and the best sweets. Thank you so much for sharing.

The Terry's 1767 box with drawers was a must for Christmas. Sadly missed.

I truly loved growing up in the 1960s...so many sweets that grew up with...one being the Jamboree bag 🎉

I miss Cadbury Silk. I remember them from the late 80’s/early 90’s. I think there were 5 little half barrels, filled with a strawberry centre in a blue wrapper. The accountant at my first job introduced me to them, washed down with a strawberry milk.

I remember Cadbury Wildlife bars so well. I used to collect all the of the different wrappers. I loved it. ❤Thanks for the memories 😊❤️

what a brillikant walk down memory lane thank you

Remember Terrys Neapolitan Chocolates - Dad use to get a couple of boxes of them every Xmas. Little individual squares of chocolate with different flavours.

Chocolate bars were bigger and a lot more tasty back in those days. .

I had Picnic bars recently and they were absolutely delicious - as good as they have always tasted. Very moreish, I can’t just have one. I buy the four pack.

Loved the caramel barrel in Terrys all gold……….heck, I loved them all

I used to like when Walkers put a blue sachet with a prize in it straight in the bag of crisps. From a free bag voucher to money. These days everyone makes you scan a qr code and give them your data. Nowhere near as magical as the prospect of cash in a pouch! The few times I got a blue sachet was so exciting!

Mr Men the Wombles, and so many more, great memories! 💙☀️ I loved the Black Magic chocolates.

Old Jamaica, Swisskit, Super Moose, Amazing Raisin Bar..... Topic... ❤

I’ve just signed the petition to keep Caramac bars!

I absolutely LOVED Caramac!!!! The taste was a unique bar of heaven!!!! I remembered buying it for 10 pence!😁

4:21 I've Used To Love Watching The Wombles The Original Series When I Was A Kid. Thanks Mate. X❤

I would always buy my dear Mum both a Terrys dark chocolate orange and a box of Black Magic for Christmas. Lovely memories. Happy days.

I only found this channel a few days ago and I'm smiling everytime a video pops up in my feed. I suppose we start to enjoy nostalgia in our 30's but we really start to find it "comforting" when we are past middle age which this is primarily aimed at (mostly the 1970's). Great stuff !

The sweet shop will become a thing of the past if things keep going up and up👀👍

Oh wow I’d completely forgotten Bitz bars in the 80’s. They were great as they tasted like Matchmakers.

I was given a caramac by a lad at work and my husband ate it, 3 days later I read on line they were being discontinued, I was more than a little disgruntled

I used to love the mint crunch Bitz bar, every Christmas i always got a box of Terry's all gold in with my presents, the highlight of my year 😁

Gosh! I hadn't even realised that Terry's All Gold had been discontinued. It used to be a staple as a Christmas present back in the day. And on the subject of plain chocolate, I suppose there is a glimmer of hope that the plain Bounty has only been "temporarily" discontinued. I'm not holding my breath however, as even before the discontinuance it had become exceedingly difficult to find.

Thanks Stu, another amble down memory lane ! Here’s an extra input - my Dad always bought my Mum a box of Terry’s Spartan chocolates for Christmas because they were all hard centres , which my Mum loved. Personally, I really miss Mackintoshes Weekend Assortment, something my Dad bought us every weekend. Everything today is so ridiculously sweet, so I just don’t bother anymore ! 👍

Thanks for re-opening a small recess in my neurons and synapses that have been lying dormant for decades!

I remember as a wee boy thinking I was some sort of millionaire buying my mum Terry's All Gold for Mothers Day so I guess it was maybe a wee bit more expense..!

Remember when Marathons and Mars actually tasted nice. I remember there being stories of rat poison being injected into Mars Bars. So I stuck to Fry’s peppermint creams. They don’t taste the same anymore either .

the dark bounty is my fave

Do you remember the advert...if you like a lot of chocolate on your biscuit, join our club?.. honestly, clubs now are tiny and hardly any chocolate on them . I think it goes for all bars these days.

Absolutely love this channel being born in the 60’s it’s heartwarming to see all the things from my youth. I remember in the 70’s when my dad got paid he used to bring me and my brother a bar of old Jamaica and if you remember an ice breaker bar 😊

I can remember one called Ice Breaker, I loved it as a kid, thought it was proper ' grown up'. Also Remember Curlywurly, seemed a lot chewier , I had ine a few years back, it didn't stretch like I remember the 3p Curlwurly.

I remember my late mum buying pick n mix chocolates from bhs n Woolworths each week to fill the massive quality tin, happy days!

That Gambit bar sounds very much like Cadbury’s current Dark Milk chocolate bar.

I had a Pink Panther bar in my mitt in many of my baby photos. Even though it was 50 years ago and i was a baby, I'm sure i can remember the taste!

Lucky numbers were my favourite chocs. A sweetshop near me when I was a child sold both Lucky Numbers and Quality Street.

One bite of caramac was nice, but any more I just found too sickly. Edit to mention I just noticed the Grand Old Lady - Goodison Park in the caramac advert!

Anyone remember Texan bars and the tv advert with the cowboy and Indian chief , I think there were about three or four different advertisements. Happy days in the 70s

That’s really sad as I was a big fan of Terrys all gold chocolates and I used to get a box for my birthday, but to be honest I thought they’d been discontinued a long time ago.

Sadly chocolate these days is only a memory, not many chocolate bars are anything like the used to be. A box of chocolates did seem a luxury, all those lovely different centers....now waxy and all seem the same.

Thank you Stu. Brings back memories.

I was in the animal bar club! I bought 4 yesterday for the first time in decades while I still can!

Missed a trick with the choice of Caramac advert to show. The classic one was always 'I've got 5 pence, what can I buy with 5 pence? A Caramac bar!!!' Needless to say it's no longer 5 pence!!

Great video,I remember Ruperts orange chocolate bar,Nutty bar,Banjo,Texan,Bar Six,Cabana,Cadburys chocolate frog,Animal bar etc,great days.

I bet those Frys Five Centre were nice.

I'll have to stock up on Caramac's! I only have 3 left in the cupboard

I remember my mother buying Cadbury's Roses tins (yes, actual tins) for Christmas. These had straight rather than the tapered sides of later plastic replacements, with just one containing sufficient chocolates to last through the festive season. They also contained chocs enclosed in traditional twist', as opposed to flow wrapping. Those were the days!

I remember the Doctor Who chocolate bar having grown up in the 70's. Each wrapper had a story on the back. It was just Milk Chocolate like a lot of them at the time. We had animal bars given to us in school along with free milk until Mrs Thatcher took it off us. I think the Doctor Who wrappers are collectable now.

I remember boxed chocolates called Weekend, Contrast and one called extra special which came in a square dark blue box with a mandala type pattern on each side

Caramac straight out of the fridge......excellent

The Caramac bar was my favourite 😪 I remember the Fry’s 5 flavours chocolate bar, the Strawberry flavoured Aero chocolate bar and the Pink Panther strawberry flavoured pink chocolate bar too 😋☺️

Has to be Dairy box for me! thanks for the trip down memory lane, will have to watch the other video now to see if the pink panther bar with its pink chocolate gets a mention!

Back in 1982 I was pregnant with my first child. Well, didn't I go wild for Caramac!!!! I would jump in the car in the wee small hours and head to the All Night Filling Station to buy up their entire stock. So, that was my fad during my first pregnancy whereas my second pregnancy in 1983 was a little different. Thankfully, nothing sweet that time around but Vegemite on burnt toast! To each their own. I still treat myself to the odd bar of Caramac when I spot them on display. Sad to hear that they are being pulled.

As a teenager of the seventies I feel truly blessed by the huge variety of chocolate confectionery we had back then. Also the Ice lollies and choc ices were amazing. I'm not sure how I still have any teeth left and not morbidly obese.

Another golden nostalgia trip. I could watch your videos all day long, lol

Wow the design and print is anazing,alot better then todays boring styles

Ah Terry's All-Gold, always a Christmas favourite at my Grandparent's over Christmas...used to sneak quite a few while the adults were busy talking about mortgages and fan belts.

Oh great it has gone midnight and i really fancy some chocolate now

Anyone remember Swisskit bars in the 1970s? A sort of dark chocolate covered muesli bar? I used to get them on the way home from school, at a long-gone sweet shop.

Rowntrees Fruit Gums in a yellow box ...the gums were fruit shaped and Lindt chocokate puppies or kittens.....heavenly !

I loved caramel cups!

I loved Caramac but hadn’t realised it was still around. It was gorgeous!

Caramac is only just gone… I will have to find what ever is left!!!

Devastated to discover topic was discontinued 2 years ago. And i wish golden cup & five centre's would make a return xx

Thanks Stu, love your stuff!

Terrys Neapolitan chocolates, my mum always bought them at Christmas in the 70s

Brilliant video again! Re : Gambit...Cadburys also brought out a large bar of milk/dark chocolate called Vevet Blend. 👍🙂

Not sure if these were only available in the U.S. or not, but we have (currently) a chocolate bar that's been around for like a hundred years. Its called "Chunky". They used to be made by Nestlé, but now they are made by Ferrara Candy Company. The Chunky is a thick square chunk of milk chocolate with peanuts and raisins. When I was a child in the 70's, I distinctly remember the Chunky having a plain milk chocolate variety, without peanuts or raisins. I have brought this subject up for YEARS to family, friends and even strangers. They all tell me that I am mistaken or just plain hallucinating about this plain Chunky bar. Well, we now have the beauty of the internet, specifically Wikipedia! I looked up Chunky's history... Varieties: Original - milk chocolate, peanuts and raisins - silver wrapper Pecan Chunky (discontinued) - milk chocolate, pecans only - gold wrapper Dark Chunky (discontinued) - dark chocolate, peanuts and raisins - gold wrapper Deluxe Nut (discontinued) - milk chocolate, peanuts, almonds, cashews, and hazelnuts - gold wrapper SOLID MILK CHOCOLATE (discontinued) - MILK CHOCOLATE ONLY - brown wrapper Miniatures ("Cuties") (discontinued) - same as originals but 1"x 1"x 3/4" thick (individually wrapped), in a poly-bag HAA! I KNEW IT! I'm not crazy!

Aww sad old gold has disappeared 😢no wonder i could not find any!!!I did buy some caramac and animal bars about 4 weeks ago🙂

My favourite chocolates were Milk Tray,always had a box for christmas with our presents off my parents,my sister always had After Eights too.

I loved Milk Tray, Dairy Box, Moonlight, Black Magic, All Gold and the rest. Having tried Milk Tray fairly recently after many years, I was surprised that they tasted and looked nowhere near as good as they used to.

Used to like Dairy Box, however few of the original chocolate varieties which were included remain today. Great channel, keep it up.

being 55 years old , i remember most of these

Loved this blast from the past... Thanks for the video

I've not bought British chocolate since I came back from Germany in the mid-90s and noticed that it tasted and felt different. That's because of they'd started using palm fat in the recipe. It just doesn't have the same qualities. A few years ago though, I was in a B & M and there were some Cadbury's Dairy Milks on the shelf that were wrapped in gold foil and paper like they were decades ago. I picked one up and read the label. There was no palm fat in the recipe and it said Made in Poland. I bought one and unwrapped it from its gold foil and bit into it. It was like being transported back in time to my childhood. Sadly that was the last I saw of it as they haven't imported any more.

Yes i remember the bitz bar from years ago!

Another Terrys one i remember is Neopolitan, i recall Bitz as my late mum was a mint sweet fiend, great memories

I wish the dark mara bar was a permanent thing. I love dark mars bars.

Discontinued for operational reasons....nobody wants to pay 75p upwards for a chocolate bar half the size and skinnier than they used to be....nice vid thanks

Bitz were delicious. Mint or orange, I could never choose and spend ages trying to decide which to get!

I miss these chocolates

Used to love a mint aero Not the same today

My Nan lived opposite Wimbledon common. When I was a kid, we used to go looking for wombles. I’m sure I see uncle bulgaria once 😂

Caramac is absolutely bangin..such an underrared bar...love em..

Nestle's culling of a great many of Rowntree Nackintosh's chocolate confections is a mixed blessing. It's sad to see them discontinued but just as sad that they had already been irreparably sullied by Nestle's very much poorer quality of so-called chocolate.

When I commented when you advertised this video, I got Animal bar mixed up with wildlife bars, I thought it was the wildlife that had animal moulds, but it was animal bar 😂 My wife is listening to me watch this and she asked “was Bitz spelled with a Z” She remembers those but I don’t. My mum used to eat a caramac while my dad tucked into either fry’s chocolate cremes or Turkish delight 😂 Thank you for another nostalgic trip 👌🏼

Not chocolate, but bring back spangles, old English or orangeade or cola flavours. Fuelled my youth on those things! People say try jolly ranchers instead, I say what colour crayon is your favourite flavour back to them. Those who know about spangles know!

Used to be bloke in the office years ago who wore shoes of a certain colour. Of course we all called him caramac.

I'm old ....

As soon as the monster bar appeared on the screen I honestly felt that time in my life. Amazing how that happens when you see things from your childhood

Thankyou once again for putting this slice of nostalgia together for us 'oldies', well, I'm 60 yrs young!. My favourite box of choccies is definitely Terry's All Gold. The others are a bit cloying and the All Gold was nicely presented as well as having great tasting chocolates. Ah!, the good old days are truly missed.

Terry's All Gold was mum's favourite back "in the day", not that she got to eat many of them as we all descended like a pick of ravenous hyenas when the box was opened!!! "Dairy Milk" was for a girlfriend, or if she was worth it maybe a box of "Black Magic". "Dairy box" never really gained much traction with any of us. "Quality Street" tins for Christmas were de rigeur, but I always felt it was a bit more "special" when a tin of "Roses" was made an appearance, back in the days before "Celebrations" "Heroes" and all the other current micro plastic "tins" had been created. Great stuff as ever Stu, you've made me realise how many choccy bars I never even tried in my youth. Thanks for the video. P.S Great "Caramac" TV ad, but I strangely don't recall it at the time.

I have to admit boxes of chocolate just aren't what they used to be. In times gone by they had variety, now a days it's just several different versions of truffle! But the one thing I would love to see come back are the Cadburys chocolates we used to get in the mid-seventies, early eights that we would put on the Christmas tree. They would normally be bought from the side of the tills out of clear plastic tubes and cardboard boxes in supermarkets and small sweet shops, there were two types hollow moulded ones wrapped in foil to look like Santa, An Angel, and Christmas Trees, and then there were solid flat ones in the shape of a Bell which was one of the foil wrappers as well as Santa's face. I've been searching for a photo of them but with no luck, I've only found an artist impression of one from a page in a trade catalogue.
