I lived off Caramacs when I was a kid.  You don't see them often but I did find one a couple of years ago.  It was yuck.

Had a Wispa yesterday, as when I went into the garage to get some diesel they had a display unit up by the till. Admittedly had another this morning :P

They also stock Caramacs. Was never very keen on those mind.

We had a box of Wispa's turn up in our forecourt shop the other day.
They were gone by the end of the day  :twisted:
I forgot how nice they were  :wink:
I hope the caramel ones come back too <yum>

Aztec, wasn't that Cadburys answer to the Mars bar?
They were supreme on every level.

Get your self down a propper sweet shop. There is a nice small sweet chop in worcester that does them as well as other sweets from the dim and distant past. Best bit is that is on the way from the highstreet to the multi story car park so you have to make excuses to not visit it.

IIRC they're now called DAIM bars though,  however that might just be because I live in a foreign county [1]


[1] yes, that is right :)
