Dairy Milk, Galaxy,plus multiple others and everything they are used on/in, the fat and corn syrup mix they now use tastes disgusting and nothing like it used to.

The amount of products that can no longer claim they are covered or use chocolate just shows how bad it is and is continuing to get worse.

So don't bring back anything as it won't taste anything like it did.

I miss when jolly ranchers were more commonly found in the U.K.

I think you can only get them in the import section now, so they're more expensive and they're not how I remember them.

Cadburys Dairy milk. Although they've gone really thin. How they reckon there's a full glass of milk in each one when there isn't even a glass of chocolates if you melt it is beyond me

The Morrisons near me is only small so I doubt they'd have them. I'd love to see them back in the U.K. sweet section.

A proper 'Curly Whirly' with chewy toffee and chocolate that flaked off.

You're thinking of The Black Parade. Same intro. No sweets though.

I went to a Jamaican restaurant the other day and they had this dessert called Greater Cake. It was pink and white coconut wrapped in cling film and left to harden. I bought a block of it. Very tasty.

I remember those choc cups in foil, they were 2p I think. Very tasty if somewhat unhygienic 🤷🏽‍♂️

I remember this chocolate in the late 80s I think it was called something like dream. With nougat but more expensive than all the others, it wasn't around long but was delicious.

There used to be a chocolate bar out and they should bring it back like they did with the wispa bar.

It was called "SECRET" It had a gold wrapper and blue lettering.

Someone in here must be able to remember it as well. ??
