Dark choccy Bounty was one of my favourite chocolate bars in my youth.
Truth!

Cadbury's Creme Coconut?
Still has chocolate? I sometimes buy those pure coconut bars but their texture is nowhere near as good as the centre of a Bounty.

I was thinking wafer for the shell.

Mix coconut and condensed milk and leave to sit in the fridge for a few hours. That’s essentially the bounty filling
An absolute unit

Mik: So d’ye think they’ll recognise the texture and the flavour?

Zee: Aye, they’re bound tae.

The only correct use for coconut in confectionery is the Cherry Ripe.

It was all a scam. There’ll only be a few ‘no bounty’ tubs in a couple of stores next weekend. Everyone else will still receive Bounty bars in their celebration tins

All they're doing is what they said in the original release; "So a limited run of "No Bounty" tubs will go on sale at 40 Tesco stores in the run-up to Christmas."

Bounty bars? Fuck Bounty bars.

I'd rather go out and buy a multipack of Turkish Delight than eat a Bounty Bar. You know, the sweet that tastes like you're eating some potpourri.

They aren't getting eaten until there's absolutely no other option.
Cheers,

Mike.

Can we have multiple option polls please? I like bounty bars and think @mik 's obsession with polls is reassuring like an old pair of slippers (which reminds me, mine are nearly worn out). How can I adequately demonstrate that when the poll forces my hand?
