I seem to remember that the advertisement went something like...
"Mint Cracknell takes you somewhere cool and green. Somewhere cool and green."
It was a chocolate bar consisting of two small squares held in a small cardboard tray. A little like the cardboard tray that seems to have vanished from Bounty, these days!
It tasted a little like toothpaste - even though I quite liked it.
The inside of the chocolate bar had a crunchy green centre and was probably too "adult" for my childish taste - I think I must have been about 7 - 10 when I first tried it.
I'm not too sure that it was very popular, though.
It disappeared - just like the Bounty cardboard tray did!
Happy times.

I worked in a sweet shop and bought one of these every pay day. Think it might have been stopped due to the price as I remember we didn't sell very many of them as they were out of reach of the pocket money kids got back then. It was mainly adults who bought it. Well, since they have just brought back Galaxy counters, we can now live in hope of this being brought back too..........hope so!

South Africa has a product by Nestle called Peppermint Crisp, which I've been told is very similar. It is available from South African shops in the UK or SA online stores.

Iremember mint cracknell it was at the same time ice breaker came out, ice breaker was a mint choc bar too and had a zig zag stripe across the label which in the advert used to break shaping the bar in a zig zag break, as a child I kept trying to break the bar the same way what marketing!

Best bar of chocolate ever. They should bring them back. Not sure why they ever stopped making it, seems as if it wasn't a best seller. It was a treat that I used to associate with my dad as it was something he always used to bring back for us on a Friday evening. Oh what lovely memories!!
