kiffys mum Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 i can still taste in my mind those caramac bars. A sort of sickly sweet blend between tablet and white chocolate. Used to let the bar melt a bit in ma pocket before eating. The wrapper was black, white and red and it was made by mcintosh's. Edit: I found a website with pictures of some labels. http://www.bestbritishsweets.co.uk/memorylane.html there's a dr who bar there wi a picture o a very bouffant jon pertwee on it, that must have been a syrup. john tainsh in letham sells caramac choc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jings Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 "Five Boys" chocolate bar. First sweet I can remember as a bairn. Strange name for chocolate?? I remember the wrapper was wierd as well.
