The oringal Mars was my favorite, then they changed it up. Snickers Almond sort of replaced it but, like you pointed out, the caramel layer was added. I understand the Mars in the UK is like the original

That was my favorite as well and I remember putting them in the freezer, too. I have since lost my "sweet tooth" for the most part, which probably helps in NOT weighing 300 lbs. Smile

That's always what I think of when I hear Zagnut.

They revived them about 30 years ago for a period of time. Either they were very different or my memory drifted.

Can't eat any of it these days anyway.



Beat me to it! I loved those for years and years! Even if I could find some now, I couldn't eat them. Would blow my blood sugar all to hell

Racking my brain trying to remember what store I was in...Checkout lane and there at the head of it was a large display of candy after candy that I hadn’t seen for many years including Necco, Dots (both the jelly kind and the kind that are little colored spots of candy on a strip of paper, Black Cow suckers, Blackjack, Beemans and Clove chewing gum, and more, much more. The sad thing is, I didn’t buy any of it.

Hershey's Krackle bar. Like a crunch bar, but so much better. Apparently a low seller and deleted from production in '18. I am reduced to buying the fun size variety packs to get them 6 or so at a tine.

Kit Kats from Canada actually have a slightly different taste. Maybe a little creamier. Perhaps it has more cocoa butter?

Remember when Whatchamcallit had a different recipe (don't think it was better) and also Reeses crunchy cups had the fine crushed peanuts right on top (definitely better)?

One of the BEST was a fund raising candy bar that I think is still made and has a woman's name for the company I think (not World's Finest). The best one simply said Caramel and it just oozed out when you broke the chocolate. They had a Krunch and another variety or two, but Caramel was the one everyone devoured.

Have not had one of those in years. Caramello is not quite the same.

Australia and a few European countries still make some passable licorice.


My wife found Wiley Wallaby black licorice at Bed, Bath, & Beyond. It is excellent.


Must be a regional thing, every grocery store, hardware store, gas station, etc. around here seems to have it, in multiple flavors.

I just thought of another that was similar to Butterfinger, but more dense; Bolster.
