That's a blast from the past.

Kinder Bueno is very nice too.

Well if we're going to include discontinued bars.....

Kitkat Chunky Peanut = end of thread tbh.

They were unbelievable, I used to eat sick amounts of them. I am not sure they should be included since this is supposed to be underrated bars, and they were very highly rated by everybody I know who had one!

Just sitting here enjoying a hot beverage and a Topic.

A fine fine piece of confectionery that, if I may say, gets a hard time of it when it comes to consumer choice.

Regularly it gets ignored by the sheep eating hoards who choose the same old Twix or Kit Kat to satisfy their snack hunger pangs.

The Topic contains lashings of milk chocolate, a fine serving of roasted hazelnuts that are surround by nougat. This in itself would be enough to make a delicious treat but no, there is also the orgasam inducing caramel that perfectly compliments the hazelnuts.

Biting into a Topic makes you feel alive again, like maybe someday your dreams will come true. It's a chocolate bar full of hope, a bar that gives that lift that we all so very much need in today's troubled time.

I'd love to be able to add a YouTube video here of a Topic commercial but alas, it's not be. Being underrated and under-appreciated tends to have the effect of your Adverts not being celebrated by the masses.

Long live The Topic, a chocolate bar that keeps it's head held high and never indulges in self pity. A bar that would much rather be loved by the few people who appreciate uniqueness, than just liked by commonalty.

Long live The Topic.

So, which confectionery or packaged snack do you feel is savagely underrated?

Before I read the rest of this thread I had to add this..I totally agree with you. I was saddened when the Topic was dropped from the Celebrations collection. Totally overlooked in my house anyway, year after year, I was happily gobbling them all up. People forget how numny they are...strange that. Like a really sound or funny class or workmate who blends into the background for some reason, is left out and is kind of a loner 'cos people don't notice them.

As I continue to thank posts and read through this thread I find myself tenting up,if you catch my drift;) Ano but I like or miss the following:
Cadbury's Marble: Ahhh the truffley inside was so sugary but excellent.
Lion Ice Cream:Miss them with a passion. Along with the kitkat one,not the ones in the shape of a Cornetto,the more Mars ice cream one.
Dairy Milk with Biscuit:Any bar with biscuit is delicious IMO,and this was one of the best.
Dairy Milk Double Choc: Was only out briefly,not so long ago.Aw they were so choclatey soft and delicious.
Nestle Double Cream: Orgasmed over these. The thick hard chocolate was hard beat.
Wispa Bite: The good old Wispa and Wispa Gold combined,but with biscuit! Caramel biscuit and milk chocolate,someone is after my heart.
Galaxy Cookie Crumble: A new creation. Call me gay for eating a Galaxy? Don't care,sublime. If you haven't tried them,get off boards and get one.NOW.
Cadbury's Dream Ice Cream: Dream white chocolate on the outside,strawberry on the inside. Need I say any more?
And finally one of my favourite bars of all time.

CADBURY SNOW FLAKE.Would actually do anything to have one.
I'm sure I'll think of more.

Soften up a Texan by dipping it in tea\coffee. Keep your fillings.

A Whalnut whip or Turkish Delight.. [drool]

I went off Wagon Wheels when I found out there might be umm.. 'animal rendered' ingredients included. (gelatin of some sort)

The humble Moro has been accompanying my tae recently. Also a fan of Creme Egg season

I miss them. They were lovely!

Pretty sure I spotted them in a shop recently.

Nestle Double Cream: Orgasmed over these. The thick hard chocolate was hard beat.

Oh god, they were great. Except one had half your daily allowance of saturated fat or something.

Galaxy Cookie Crumble: A new creation. Call me gay for eating a Galaxy? Don't care,sublime. If you haven't tried them,get off boards and get one.NOW.

Yes, very very tasty.

I'd forgotten about them! They were delicious!

edit: Catch bars are also awesome.

Catch Bars are nice but around 4/5 years ago they ****ed them up imo. I remember they used to come in a shiny red wrapper and generally the chocolate and chewy bit were way nicer than they are now. They've got this shiny modern red thing going on now and they just don't taste the same.

Fuck progress in the arse with a jagged rod.

UrbanSea · 14-04-2010 5:03pm

Ewwww coconut.
Having a packet of Hunky Dory's Buffalo here,very tasty.

eclectichoney · 14-04-2010 7:32pm

Not understanding this frequent citing of Moro bars at all! Yes, they are delicious but No, they are so not under-rated!! Sure, who doesn't like Moro bars??

I never knew such a thing existed :eek: I probably would have been better off never knowing I'd missed out!

Not sure if anybody has mentioned Animal Bars yet, they bring back fond memories of childhood. A simple, cheap pleasure!

Des Carter · 14-04-2010 10:24pm

definitely without a shadow of a doubt it has to be Kinder Pingui.

Best thing ever invented/discovered or imagined ever.

14-04-2010 10:49pm

i had an animal bar earlier!

was really small but yeh a nice size for when you just need a little chocolate fix, very satisfying!!

I still have about 6 left from a stockpile box of 24 I bought off ebay back in November for €12. They are being saved those terrible days when only a Kitkat chunky peanut butter will do!

The caramel one was brought out to replace them - stupidity! As if we don't have enough caramel bars already!

OutlawPete · 14-04-2010 10:57pm

Animal Crackers are savagely underrated :cool:

dubh101 · 06-05-2010 1:30pm

kit kat chunky peanut,they were soooo nice,I like reeses peanutbutter cups too.LOl heres a blast from the past,A TWO and TWO bar,cant remember who made them(long gone now),used too love them as a kid,anyone remember them? Ya would have too be knocking around in the 70's.:D Oh found out on the childhood sweets thread,that it was cleaves who made the Two and Two bar.

Mr Benevolent · 07-05-2010 5:45pm

I've learned an important lesson today. Never, ever browse this forum while hungry

Another vote for the Topic. It's been going so long now that it must have a good fanbase. That said, I haven't had one in at least a year. Don't go in for sweets 'n bars much anymore.

Guilty!- hate the bit in the middle!:o Does anyone remember Texan bars - they were chewy, covered in chocolate - the wrapper was orange with a cowboy (surprise) on the front.........now THAT was a bar!

Haven't found anything over the past 20 years to equal its yumminess.:D
