Hi – I wonder if you can help. I remember a chocolate/mint bar called, I think, Mint Cracknel. It had strands of bright green sugary mint crisp covered in milk chocolate. Have you heard of it, can you get it? Many thanks, Andrea

The cracknell sweet was first a member of the Quality Street selection and was then later made into bars, then came in Orange Cracknell, Mint Cracknell, Coffee Cracknell and Original Cracknell (original being the one found in Quality Street). Sadly it [...]
Another bar that we think was made by Macintoshes. It was a brittle mint centre (lurid green if we remember right) covered in milk chocolate. Not sure when it went… but it surely did – apparently due to difficulties with production. The fact that it used to cut your tongue didn’t help either!!!
