It was Jelly Mallow. Delicious. Tangy Raspberry flavoured jelly on top of a firm Marsh Mallow base all covered in cholcolate. It came in a twin bar in the way that Bounty does. Saw someone mention Apple Jacks too. Whatever happened to them?

I remember Five Boys - they were very thin chocolate and the boys all had different expressions on their faces...smiling, sad etc. There was a slot machine at the end of our road in Cardiff that sold them and when I was two and in hospital my dad got bars and bars of them from the slot machine in the hospital.
I had broken a bone in my leg and the doctors were putting plaster on it. Every time I opened my mouth to yell my dad stuck a bar of five boys chocolate in.
Wish they still made them.
