Or 'Sherbout Fizz'?(not sure about the spelling there).
That one must have passed me by..was it a custard sweet?
Caramac is the chocolate equivalent Marmite imo. You either like it or you don't.
caramac is nectar. years ago could get a caramac easter egg 
I'd rather eat chocolate Marmite than a Caramac.
How can you not like caramac? - always been one of my favourites along with 'fudge'
Another one that's just popped in... anyone recall Opal Mints? A spin-off from Opal Fruits - lovely jubbly
Aspro....did you go to work in Middle-east and are you back in GB?

Fark me the things ye find out on t'internet. I've just tried to get a pic of chix and it's come up with Peeps bubble gum! (yank) And yes, tis shaped like chicks...
In 1972 (aged 10) I found a joke in a packet of bazooka joe (remember those?). Anyway, the joke was "I'll give anyone £5 who can solve my problems" - The reply was "I will, where's the £5" - "That's the first problem" - I sent this to Whizzer and Chips and they published it and sent me £1.00 (for every joke published) 
I suspect that went on 3 doubles and a treble at next days meetings.
Probably, my old man used to take me to Walthamstow dogs every Saturday and allowed me a little punt out of my pocket money - little acorns and all that
Aye, mine took me to Greenpark at 6 and the dye was cast..
Aspro....must have been someone else....with a similar name.
No worries Leopard; I can understand some of the confusion because I took a long break from the forum and have only recently returned to posting
Getting back to the original Caramac i find its one of the few confectioneries that actually tastes better now than in the distant past.Mars bars for instance used to be delicious treat but the one's nowadays taste simply orrid.
I always thought caramac was an attempt to make a milky bar on the cheap and never getting the ingredients right
Had one the other day. Was quite nice but I prefer a milky bar.
Milky bar is very popular, even with the younger generation, they all eat it! Me, take it or leave it but if I had the choice it would always be Caramac.
The colour put me off, that sort of beige off whiteness like it had gone off, I always expected to find a hair in it
if there was nowt left in the school vending machine Id have it but Fruit toffos were the first choice

we like the caramac, bit sickly after the fourth bar mind 
not seen starbars, nutty bar or penny toffee logs in good while

paulypaul ......bring Texans back .............. I was on holiday a few years back on the south coast ,went to a sunday carboot sale and there was a market stall selling biscuits sweet cakes etc , lo and behold it was selling Texan bars checked the sell by dates all in order and bought the whole box ,kids had never seen em before but lapped em up ,deliscious and brought back memorys from the 70s ,seems they are still made but never seen em in shops ,think they may be exported or imported !
This was the most exciting thing to happen in my village since 1953.
We waited at the War Memorial, for something like three hours, for Queen Elizabeth to drive past, without even slowing down.
Not been a great lover of royals from that day on!

Tictacman, if you have a B&M store near you you will fine Star Bars freely available - and also many other 'hard to find' confectionery goodies.
For instance; chocolate covered cinder toffee (in large bags), blackcurrant and liquorice sweets, etc etc.
It's a brilliant shop for sweeties.

You're welcome, Tictacman.
It's a great shop for all sorts of stuff - but their sweet and choccy bar selection really is very hard to beat.
You can find so many things in there you don't see anywhere else - and all at very low prices.
