Take a look at some deleted and often forgotten Aussie Chocolate bars from the 90’s.

Cadbury Take 5

There was a popular chocolate bar theme in the 90s that centred on taking a break. This was mainly due to the Kit Kat marketing. Cadbury launched Take 5. It was a twin-pack bar, which was common at the time. The filling was malted balls covered in chocolate. It was like Maltesers but in twin bar form.

Wonka (Wicked Choc) Mud Sludge

Launched in the late 90’s, the Wonka Mud Sludge was a branded Nestle bar. It was a flat bar with a chocolate fudge centre that had a unique taste and was covered in Chocolate. Nestle even did a Golden Ticket promotion featuring these bars! These bars were quite popular with young children in the 2000’s.

Nestle Polly Waffle

Nestle acquired the rights to Polly Waffles in 1988. They produced them in the 90’s and 2000’s. Unfortunately, the product was discontinued in 2009. The bar made a bit of a comeback in ball form. This occurred when Nestle sold the rights to the local SA chocolate company Menz. But for many ’90s kids, it was a Nestle chocolate bar. It contained a circular waffle filled with marshmallows. The chocolate used was of questionable quality. This is common with many Australian chocolate treats, such as Wagon Wheels and Chomp. Sadly, the modern balls do not live up to the standard of old-school Polly Waffles. Hopefully, one day Menz will bring back the actual bar.

Cadbury Time Out

Timeout featured the same ‘take a break’ theme, after Kit Kat’s theme. Time Out still exists in the UK, which the Aussie bar was based on, and its spiritual successor, Cadbury Breakaway. Unlike a modern Breakaway, Time Outs always came in twin packs. This made them great for sharing. You could also split them to eat over short periods. There are slight variations in the modern Breakaway recipe, and old-school Time Out fans swear the old bar was superior.

Cadbury Viking Bar

Cadbury has always struggled to enter Australia’s caramel and nougat chocolate bar market. This market is dominated by its rival, the chocolate juggernaut of this variant, the Mars bar. Red Bull gained popularity in the early 2000s. During this time, Cadbury decided to have another crack at this market. They added guarana, which resulted in caffeine, to a Cadbury version of a Mars bar. It was known as “The Chocolate Bar With Horns.” Parents were not impressed, but the bar tasted pretty good, despite its high caffeine content. Today Tonight and A Current Affair had a field day with this bar.

Strawberry and Peppermint Chomps

Strawberry Chomps were launched in the late 1980’s and remained on the market until the early 1990s. In 1990, a peppermint variation was also introduced, joining the standard and popular caramel Chomp that still exists today. The Mint variation outlasted the strawberry version into the late 1990’s, but sadly, only caramel exists today. Australian Chomps are cheap budget chocolate bars with a wafer and a flavoured spread coated in cheap compound Chocolate.

Nestle Milo Bar

Imagine compacting a block of Milo and covering it in milk Chocolate. This is what a Milo bar was like in the 90’s (and 80’s). You would almost choke on the Milo and devour this bad boy. This was made for kids who ate Milo straight from the tin!

Europe Jupiter

Unlike the other bars here, this was not a chocolate bar. Still, it was sold in the same section. The Jupiter bar was a chewy, caramel nougat-like bar with pieces of Rice Bubbles and peanuts throughout it. It was amazing, and sadly, nothing has ever come close since.

Nestle White Knight

Growing up in the 90’s, the chocolate bar section had some classic cheap eats for kids. Alongside the Curly Wurly’s and Chomps, Nestle’s budget chocolate bar, White Knights, sat. It had a semi-hard peppermint chewy centre covered in milk chocolate. There is something magical about the combination of peppermint and chocolate!

Cadbury Whip

Cadbury Australia’s attempt to take on Mars bar’s caramel and nougat was slightly more airy than a Mars bar. Many people who tried it over a Mars bar thought it was better. The Moro bar was available in the early 90s. However, it was discontinued due to poor sales in 1994. Cadbury Whip replaced it. The Viking bar replaced it in the early 2000s. Later, the name changed again to Moro. It is a popular brand in New Zealand and the UK. Moro the replacement to Whip, is still available today.

Cadbury Wobbly

The Cadbury Wobbly was a short-lived 90s bar aimed directly at children. It was a chocolate bar with pieces like Clinkers candy inside. This combination would have been unique in the early 90s. Cadbury launched the bar in 1992 and spent $1 million advertising it. It was axed in early 1994 and was on the market for less than two years. The wrapper was also cool and holographic, and just screamed 90’s.

GlowBar

Do you remember Glow Bars? It was a chocolate-covered marshmallow bar that came with free glow-in-the-dark crazy face stickers and was available in 1994. This one is obscure and wasn’t around long; it was advertised during kids’ programming on TV, too. Perhaps you’ve long forgotten the chocolate bar, but the stickers survived, stuck to something throughout your childhood. The stickers featured unique 90’s ’90s-style scary faces that glowed in the dark. It was quite a cheap Chocolate bar and some canteens even sold them.

Strawberry Ripe

Think Cherry Ripe, but with a Strawberry base instead. It was quite nice. However, the combination of Cherries, Dark Chocolate, and Coconut works better. This combination outshines Strawberries in the same flavour combo. This bar was released in the early 2000s.

Cadbury Snow Flake

This was basically a white chocolate flake covered in milk chocolate. The combination of the two with the ‘Flake ‘- like texture was amazing!
