Monckyman Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Apparently you can diy it with the right tools etc, but I`d just send it to the Choc Doc. You don`t want to take the risk. I f***ed up a pretty good Texan Bar that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Is it in the standard factory finish, or an exotic top? Can't stand those coffee table Mars bars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pickle Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I heard there is a limited edition triple chocolate version of this now. Probably wont be as good as the pre starburst days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky72 Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 I was hoping someone out there had a Texan bar they'd offer up, been looking for another one of them since 1979.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushbo Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Can anyone help me out with a good condition Aztec Bar? Someone was selling one on Ebay, but it turned out to be just a Mars which had been reliced with some nougat. Just not the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dad3353 Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I can't quite read the 'Best eaten before...' date, so I'll pass on this. Still got my eyes peeled for a '60's Jubbly, though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dad3353 Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 (edited) Nah; they're reissues (reduced sugar..!). Thanks anyway. I'd like to find some without any hassles, if possible (kind of 'fretless..?). Edited January 15, 2012 by Dad3353 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieBenzies Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 It was actually really tasty, I don't normally enjoy mars to that a great extent, but even now I remember returning home to find a mysterious package and opening it to reveal the aforementioned mars. It was good. I relaxed and had it with tea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
