Does anyone remember a twin chocolate bar similar to Twix; called Banjo? It had a layer of chopped nuts near the top and I think a wafer like bit underneath then it was all covered in chocolate. I can’t remember who made them sorry Hilary

Please try to find someone who will make those wonderful Banjo bars. I can’t remember who made them, but they were around in the 70s and possibly 80s. They were essentially a two-fingered wafer biscuit, topped with either toffee (not as good, as they didn’t exactly stand out as something different) and chopped nut (oh!

Whatever happened to Rowntree’s Banjos?
They were round chewy sweets in a dark packet – bit like minstrels if I remember correctly and what about a chocolate called “Banjo” it had 2 fingers and was filled with small nutty pieces. Tia
The standard Chocolate version was available in the UK-but when I was 12 (’82) I saw a mint version in Brussels an of course had to eat it …mmm, nice!
Coconut, the original one in a blue packet the other red. The jingle went something like- Banjo, the one for me & you. light & crispy wafer plus roast nut flavour too!!
Chocolate looked like a twix it had nuts in it changed its name to trophy….
Light and crispy wafer with layer of nuts the wrapper was just like a twirl is now and a very catchy advertisement…..banjo banjo the one for me and you etc
