Hi all,
I am looking for a chocolate bar which was once available (during the 1980's and maybe 1990s) in the UK as Coconut Boost. We still have the Biscuit Boost and now Boost Guarana although these are now marketed as energy bars. The coconut boost, if I remember correctly, consisted of a core of something like a coconut nougat wrapped in a softish coconuty caramel all coated in milk chocolate. (I've not seen my girlfriend peel one for many years now so my description may be a little off.) I recently had success tracking down Crispy Crunch bars in Canada which made a very brief appearance in the UK as Craze bars and so I wondered if the coconut boost also lives on in another part of the world. I would be very grateful for any help readers can give me. Thanks Jeremy |

However, I don't know if you've already tried, but why not e-mail the company? They have a contact link on their site. If enough people request it, perhaps they'll bring it back--even just for a limited time. Or they may be able to tell you if they are available by another name in another country. The only other chocolate bars with coconut (that I can think of) are Bounty (made by Mars) and Mounds/Almond Joy--can't remember who makes them but it's an American company. Neither of them have any caramel in them, though. rona -- ***For e-mail, replace .com with .ca Sorry for the inconvenience!*** |

They couldn't tell me if the product was still made elsewhere in the world. Jeremy |
