    Oh my GOD!! It better be true!!
    I loved these, and always wished they would come back.
    Was only explaining to someone last week what they were.

    No way were they still around in 2005? :eek: Haven't seen them since I was a kid.

    Agreed, I haven't seen them since primary school. I'd be over the moon if they came back!

    I know. Seems wrong to me. I feel it was long before that that they disappeared... maybe they were available for longer in the UK?

    Aye +1 on the not being around for a lot longer than 2005.
    I remember we used to get them when bringing my baby brother for a walk, that'd be early 1990s

    Got a bag in Superquinn earlier on in the week. They are quite nice, the white chocolate is near identical to milkybar and the milk chocolate isn't bad.

    I just bought 4 bags in Asda on my way home from the UK :D. Still lovely, but of course not as nice as I remember. My main complaints are the small bags and the shell is a bit too crispy.

    Which Dunnes if you don't mind me asking?

    I saw Cutie said Dunnes had them but her location is Cork (I'm in Dublin).

    Not as nice as they use to be........Then I have found that Nestle choc recently has really changed for the worse.

    Got 2 bags in Dunnes in Douglas Court (Cork)

    Got them in Dunnes in Newbridge, Kildare.

    Very very disappointed :(

    They're fatter than they used to be and the shell is far too crispy (possibly too thick). They don't taste that nice either to be honest.

    They used to be like Minstrels, with the same thin crisp shell. I felt like I was eating egg shells almost (the thickness and over crunch of them).

    Was genuinely excited (before I tried them) but tbh I don't think I'd buy them again.

    Yeah I've still got a bag sitting on the counter that I can't be bothered to eat. And I'm NEVER not bothered eating chocolate!

    FOUND THEM!!!

    Got two bags just in case, though I'm not a fan of nestle choc so my hopes weren't high. Choc is ok, but, as has been said the shell is weird. It's like glass. :confused: Why didn't they do them like smarties shells. It's surely just a case of making giant smarties?

    I was so excited to see these in Superquinn, that I decided to make marbled chocolate brownies in their honour.

    I remember them to be as nice as Minstrels, I was so disappointed when I opened the bag and was greeted by a decidedly dull brown sweet. I was even more disappointed upon tasting it. They taste like cheap chocolate, the shell is too hard, and overall it's just too sweet.

    Back to Minstrels for me....

    I got these today as well and I'm very disappointed! They don't taste at all like I remember and the shell is definitely too crispy!
