Cadbury's Bar Six

Often a favourite for swimming bath vending machines, Cadbury's Bar Six was a creamy chocolate bar with a wafer centre and hazelnut cream, they were very similar to a Chunky Kit-Kat. Bar Six had an orange wrapper and was wrapped in a soft foil. This was actually a product of Terry's of York, not Cadbury's. I used to love the plain chocolate ones, and the chocolate pretzels. The Terry's name is now owned abroad and, as far as I know, only Chocolate Orange and Terry's All Gold remain. I may be out of date, but some yeas ago I bought some All Gold and they were horrible (I used to love them when made in York).

    I really enjoyed these. Better than kitkat. I remember a blue and white wrapper though in 70's.

    I remember these as standard fare in train station vending machines in the 1970s. However, I recall that they were in a blue and white wrapper, with BAR SIX in large red lettering. They were about 12p, which was quite a lot then, but well worth it as they were delicious and much more filling than the cheaper KitKat.

      I agree about the blue and white wrapper. That's how I remember them. I loved them.

    They were my childhood favourite chocolate bar. I doubt that Cadburys will remake this, but would like it to make a comeback.

    Well remembered. Far superior to Kitkat. Plus they did a dark chocolate version. Quite hard to find but worth it. Bar Noir

    I do, it was my favourite, and if I remember rightlyz, popular. I wonder why it was discontinued. The new Cadbury Rounders bar tastes almost the same

    Gadfly- Actually I was going to ask you if it was Cadbury or Rowntree. I was just a kid at the time, but I believe it came in a yellow wrapper and I believe there were two in a packet. I assume it was not selling well, maybe only you and I bought them

    Does anyone remember a biscuit called 'T-bar' It was a tuck shop favourite of mine in the early 70s. A shortcake biscuit with a thin layer of coconut cream covered in milk chocolate. Nobody, but NOBODY seems to remember them and I've seen no reference to them anywhere. Were they a figment of my imagination?

      I did a double take when I read this about T Bar. About 5 years ago when I was having a nostalgia period, I searched the internet high and low for information on the greatest chocolate bar ever created - T Bar. I could not find anything and my wife suggested it may have been a figment of my imagination. Thank you - I am sane!

        At last, at last! Somebody else remembers them. Thank you, Berbeth. Do you know who made them? I've really no idea.

    Wow, I haven't seen these in like 40 years now. We used to have Bar Six in Canada, too. I remember them being creamier, sweeter, and with a less overt hazelnut taste than Kit Kat bars. I sure wish they were still around. A good number of the British chocolate bars we had when I was a kid are still around, but a fair number have dropped off the radar and been replaced by third rate, waxy Yankee crap, mainly from Hershey. :P

    It was Bar Six over a Kit-Kat for me every time. A shame it was stopped (don't know when though). I will look at jennyanydots suggestion of Crispello. I note that Crispello was aimed at women ??!? Having seen some Crispello pics, I think I'm man enough for it :-)

    Bar Six has been reborn as Cadburys Crispello ... tastes just like it in a different shape!
