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

Cadbury Take 5

There was something about taking a break and a chocolate bar theme going on in the 90s, thanks mostly to the Kit Kat slogan. Cadbury launched Take 5, which was a twin pack bar (common at the time), but the filling was malted balls covered in chocolate, similar to Malteasers but in twin and bar form.

Wonka (Wicked Choc) Mud Sludge

Launched in the late 90s, 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!

Nestle Polly Waffle

Nestle acquired the rights to Polly Waffles in 1988. However, the bar made a bit of a comeback in ball form when Nestle sold the rights to local SA chocolate company Menz. But for many 90s kids, it was a Nestle chocolate bar. It consisted of a circular waffle filled with marshmallows and some questionable-quality compound Chocolate, which is common with many Aussie chocolate treats such as Wagon Wheels and Chomps. Sadly, the modern balls do not live up to the standard of old school Poly Waffles. Hopefully, one day Menz will bring back the actual bar.

Cadbury Time Out

Again, with the ‘take a break and short amount of time’ 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, however, Time Outs always came in twin packs, making them great for sharing or spitting to eat over short periods. There are some slight variations in the Breakaway recipe, and old-school Time Out fans swear the old bar was superior.

Cadbury Viking Bar

Cadbury has always struggled to get into Australia’s caramel and nougat chocolate bar market, which is dominated by its rival, the Chocolate juggernaut of this variant, the Mars bar. Oddly, as Red Bull was starting to become popular in the early 2000s, Cadbury decided to have another crack at this market by adding Guarana (and, as a result, caffeine) to a Cadbury version of a Mars bar. It was known as “The Chocolate Bar With Horns.” Parents were not impressed, but it tasted pretty good despite the caffeine content.

Strawberry and Peppermint Chomps

Strawberry Chomps launched in the late 80s and survived into the early 90s. 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 90s, but sadly, only Caramel exists today. Australian Chomps are cheap budget chocolate bars with wafer and a flavoured spread, coated in cheap compound Chocolate.

Nestle Milo Bar

Imagine compacting a block of Milo, then covering it in milk Chocolate. This is was a Milo bar in the 90s (and 80s) was. You would almost choke on the Milo and you devoured this bad boy. This was made for kids that ate Milo straight from the tin!

Europe Jupiter

It was not a chocolate bar but was sold in the same section. The Jupiter bar was a chewy caramel nougat-like bar with pieces of rice bubbles and peanuts through it. It was amazing, and sadly, nothing has ever come close since.

Nestle White Knight

Growing up in the 90s, the chocolate bar section had some classic cheap eats for kids, and alongside the Curly Wurlys and Chomps, Nestle’s budget chocolate bar, White Knights, sat. It had a semi-hard peppermint chewy centre covered in milk chocolate.

Cadbury Whip

Cadbury Australia’s attempt to take on Mars bar’s caramel and nougat was slightly more airy than a Mars bar, and many people who did give it a crack over a Mars bar thought it was better. The Moro bar was available in the early 90s, however, it was deleted in 1994 due to poor sales and replaced with Cadbury Whip. It was later replaced by the Viking bar in the early 2000s, before again changing to the popular New Zealand and UK name Moro. The new Aussie version and spiritual successor lives on in the form of a Moro bar.

Cadbury Wobbly

The Cadbury Wobbly was a short-lived 90s bar aimed directly at children. It was basically a chocolate bar with pieces similar to Clinkers candy inside it, which in the early 90s would have been very unique. 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 90s.

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 1994. This one is obscure and wasn’t around long, it was advertised during kids programing on tv too.Maybe you long forgot the chocolate bar but the stickers survived on something throughout your childhood stuck on something?
