The honeycomb toffee centre is cut up using jet of oil which create sharp, jagged edges which are then covered in milk chocolate and cooled.In the UK, Cadburys, the current maker and Britvic, combined to make a limited edition Crunchie Tango. Bournville chocolate was first introduced in 1908, and it was marketed as a high-quality, “plain” chocolate bar that was made with a high percentage of cocoa solids. The bar was initially sold in a distinctive purple wrapper with a gold seal, which has become an iconic symbol of the brand. Bournville chocolate is known for its rich, intense flavour and is often used in baking recipes. The brand has since expanded to include a variety of flavours, such as Bournville Old Jamaica, which is infused with rum and raisins. Topic Like Heroes, they comprises miniature versions of the chocolate brands owned by the manufacturer - Mars. Whatever the individual claims, Fry’s can truly claim to have a long and rich chocolate history, pioneering several ground breaking and cocoa grinding techniques along the way. Founded by Joseph Fry, a Quaker, in the mid 18th century, the Bristol based, the company made the first solid chocolate bar in 1847. His idea was to cover the different toffees with chocolate and present them in low-cost, yet attractive, boxes.
Long before Europeans consumed chocolate, it was a part of the culture of ancient civilizations such as the Olmecs, Mayans and Aztecs - who even used cacao beans (the seed from which chocolate is made) as currency. The bar was first introduced in the United Kingdom in 1936 and was originally marketed as a “healthier” alternative to traditional milk chocolate bars, as it was made with milk powder instead of cocoa solids. Milky Way is manufactured and marketed by Mars, Incorporated, an American multinational confectionery company. The bar has a light, fluffy nougat centre that is topped with a layer of caramel and covered in a layer of milk chocolate. Initially, when Bounty was first introduced in 1951, it was only available in milk chocolate. The milk chocolate bar comes in a coral blue wrapper, while dark chocolate is in a red wrapper. Made by Mars, over the years, there seem to have been limited editions featuring other tropical ingredients. The uncompromising milk chocolate exterior gives way to a soft and sweet centre which literally does melt in the mouth – like a glacier ice patch in summer. The Swiss may have a reputation for neutrality but the decision to change the content of Toblerone left very few people on the fence.

It’s a close call but on a personal level, Heroes just about edges it when it comes to which box our family opts for over the Christmas period. A number of big names have completely disappeared and we've seen the miniatures in the sweet tins become a distant memory. Liverpool Echo curated a list of 61 chocolate bars and flavours from yester year. Milkybar is a brand of white chocolate that is produced by Nestle, a Swiss multinational food and beverage company. Fuse is a brand of chocolate bar that was produced by Cadbury in the United Kingdom from 1996 to 2006. The bar consisted of a blend of milk chocolate, peanuts, raisins, crisp cereal, and fudge pieces.
I wonder how that went down with the troops? I’ve no idea if Lawrence of Arabia enjoyed a bite of Turkish Delight or two in his tent in the middle of the Arabian desert during his war time campaigns. Fry’s merged with Cadbury’s in 1919 but the name has continued to appear on bars ever since and the current wrapper is a shade of pink and purple in colour in the UK with a light yellow star above the name.

Quality Street A box of Quality Street in 2020 (Image: Manchester Evening News) Onto the box that led to the development of Heroes - Celebrations launched two years prior to the Cadbury equivalent.Bournville is dark chocolate bar that is produced by Cadbury, a British chocolate company that is owned by Mondelez International. The brand is named after the Bournville area of Birmingham, England, where the Cadbury factory is located. The famous advertising slogan ‘Have a break; have a Kit Kat’ dates from the late 1950s. This theme was the plot of a popular TV ad from the late 1980s where a zoo photographer takes a break to have a Kit Kat and misses seeing pandas performing a dance routine. Kit Kat Chunky hit the shelves in 1999 and you may have also tasted Kit Kat Orange. Many will remember the bars and breaking off segments to indulge in the sweet centre. In the past, the logo was in bold yellow and red font. Fry’s Turkish Bar (later renamed Turkish Delight) first appeared in 1914 making it one of the oldest chocolate bars to be in continuous production. The year 1914, of course, marked the start of the First World War, during which Britain was at war with the Turkish Ottoman Empire. I’m not sure Nestlé has really thought this through. The world’s largest food and drink company must surely have been able to foresee the outpouring of grief and anger that would follow an announcement about it shelving the Caramac bar after 64 years.
