What I do find is in boxes of Celebrations and Heroes, they will do some things that I don't think work. It's one thing to do tiny versions of bars, but then... Exhibit 1: Maltesers. Having little bits of the malt flavoured stuff instead of a full malt blob just doesn't work for me. Just make it a big Malteser, or don't bother.

The Picnic bar is a bit "busy" with its vast array of flavors. Don't get me wrong, though: it's fecking gorgeous, and it is now a welcome part of my Brit candy bar "arsenal", pending my local Brit shop's longevity. At first bite, the Picnic, with its peanut-and-chocolate "introduction", reminds me of our "Baby Ruth" bar, except the Picnic has better-quality chocolate and doesn't shower its consumer with thousands of "exploding" chocolate flakes like the Baby Ruth. Then, the rice and raisin aspects make themselves known, hwnce the business I alluded to earlier. The Picnic is still a magnificent candy bar, and one that Mrs. Phelps especially enjoys, and has made known, should I decide to "will" her any Picnic bars I decide I don't want. I will go against prevailing thread opinion and proclaim the Lion my preferred candy bar of the two, but that should by no means be viewed as a slight to the Picnic (except to militant Picnic fanatics).

Just found bars of Old Jamaica - from Cadburys/Bourneville - in my local B&M. They're definitely thinner than I remember, though it's been so long since I last had one that I couldn't vouch for it tasting exactly as it used to. They also had other, thicker (and more expensive) bars called Rum & Raisin, which are basically the same sort of thing, from different manufacturers.
