It was called Fry's 5 centres. Fry's also brought out a peppermint and an orange one.

The chocolate cream, peppermint and orange ones are still available but the 5 centres appears to have disappeared.

I love AZTEC bars - can't find a pic though

I can remember a "coconut tobacco", came in a wax paper packet, red with a picture of a pirate ship on it.

Did it look something like this matty?...

The seller says...

Sweet Tobacco - One of our most popular sweets by a mile... it's such an old favourite!

Delicious sweet coconut strips dusted in chocolate powder - used to be known as Spanish Gold or Spanish Tobacco - very light and bordering on addictive!

Similar, although it had shorter.straighter bits.
(although I am going back 30 years!)

The stuff from Chorley was like that.

the chocolate bar with the different flavours was made by Fry's (don't know if cadbury owned them) it was dark chocolate and came out after the mint one they made,

That wasn't the one. I know Frys Chocolate. The chocs were different shapes and were Cadburys I think.

Anyone know the ones?

I think it was called Milk Tray. It had a lime barrel, a strawberry, an orange segment and a pineapple etc.
