Crispy Crunch
Flake
We have an inspired Cadbury factory worker from the early 1920s to thank for the invention of the original Flake bar. After witnessing extra milk chocolate dripping from the candy moulds and watching it cool, the idea for Cadbury Flake bars was born.
Caramilk
Aero

Crunchie

Crispy Crunch
Made from a combination of flakey peanut butter and rich milk chocolate, Crispy Crunch bars are a memorable treat for anyone with a love for sweet and salty candy. The bar was first invented by Harold Oswin in 1930 — he submitted his idea to a contest held by Neilson's and won $5 for his efforts.

Wunderbar
Made from caramel, peanuts and milk chocolate, there's nothing like a Wunderbar to satisfy a sweet tooth. With the exception of Canada and Germany, the Wunderbar is known worldwide as a Starbar (during the '80s it was briefly called a Peanut Boost bar.)

The ultimate treat for movie-watching marathons, Maltesers are a product of the United Kingdom and are best enjoyed in large handfuls straight out of the box (guilt-free, since Maltesers were at one point marketed as a "slimming treat.")

Caramilk
Is there a chocolate bar as instantly recognizable as a Caramilk? With milk chocolate pockets filled with liquid caramel, the makers of Caramilk bars enjoyed an especially profitable marketing run with their almost as recognizable "Caramilk Secret" ad campaign.

Big Turk
If the thought of rosewater-flavoured jelly coated in a thin layer of milk chocolate sounds appetizing, then the Big Turk bar is for you! Because the bar is mostly made from Turkish delight, it's significantly lower in fat than a regular chocolate bar — just one more reason to enjoy!
Cherry Blossom

Kinder Surprise
Cherry Blossom
One of the oldest chocolate treats in Canada, the liquid filling in Cherry Blossoms is achieved by dipping an enzyme-injected cherry candy in chocolate. After a period of one to two weeks, the solid candy disintegrates into an intensely cherry-flavoured filling.

Hershey Cookies 'n' Creme
Hershey's Cookies 'n' Cream bars are still sold with the chocolate bars, but sadly are technically no longer a chocolate bar.
