Whatever happened to... Cabana Bars?
Cabana Bars
Cabana bars. Early 80s Cadbury choccy bar, with coconut centre with a slither of cherry sauce running along the top under the chocolate.

Bounty Bar Cherry: Dark Chocolate Bounty with a rich cherry flavoured coconut filling. Mars takes on the leading Oz choc bar Cherry Ripe!
Surely if they can sell this, they need to re-instate the Cabana ASAP

Coconut filling with highlights of cherry. I remember this due to fact that I lived around the Rowntree macintosh factory area. Also my parents house was originally owned by Joseph Bellamy (hows that)!

My mum used to eat these when I was really small but I didn't like them. I got a bit older, developed a taste for them, couldn't stop eating them... Then they disappeared!!!! Gutted!!! Where can I get them from?

Cabana Bar
Cabanna Bar
Chocolate coated with something chewy inside. It was also filled with fruit, pineapple, melon and other fruits. The advert for it was on TV. It had a distinctly carribean feeling to it.

Cabana bars
Cabana bars were made by Cadbury and were withdrawn in the early 90s (I think) they were a posh bounty if I recall with a moist coconut and cherry centre topped with caramel and covered in Cadbury chocolate, my god I sound like an advert!
Anyway they were delicious so bring them back Cadbury or I will stop buying flake............... by the box!

CABANA BAR
Do you remember the CABANA BAR, a chewy mixture of coconut and cherry bits with a toffee layer on top covered in chocolate? I used to eat two a day for at least all my 6 week school holidays! What happened to this bar from heaven? If I could get it nowadays, I would surely stock up
thanks from a suprisingly slim 47 year old!

Oh, I was so traumatised by a Pink Panther bar. I remember being on the seat on the back of my mum's bike, eating away at my PP bar, when she went over a bump ad I dropped it onto the road. She wouldn't go back for it and I howled for hours. To this day I can still tell you exactly where it lay on that road - and this was some 32 years ago.
The trauma of dropped sweets...
(Cabana bars - the staple of every high school tuckshop!)

Well, thank goodness! I thought I was going nuts!
I was searching on the web for Hickory House, please someone else say they know it, and I came across the "Whatever happened to" when I saw cabanas and texans, and amazing bars, well!!!! - I have signed myself out of the looney bin and plee to the manufacturers to BRING THEM ALL BACK, pretty please!
Thank you!!

Are you sure you don't mean "Heckors House"? I remember it well. I used to visit my gran on a sunday afternoon & her house was next to a realy tall wall; well, being only 5 years old i used to think any minute now old Heckor was going to stick his head over & shout at me, I also remember Cabana's too. I won't describe them as you can read all the other descriptions above. Hope this helped, Sorry for going on a bit...

Cabana Bars
Cabana Bars made my Rowntrees, (and frequently stuffed in my Dads empty packed lunch box, along with loads of other "freebies"!, he worked there in the Export Dept)
From memory coconut with a strawberry stripe in covered in chocolate,
great bars, obviously not a patch on Texans or Nuttys
Also Montegos, (Not the cars!), but chocolate bars, like clubs, but better, especially the orange ones!
