I have lived in England all my life, have seen these on the shelves, and yet had never tried one. Then my other half bought my one, saying “you like these don’t you? It looked like the sort of thing you like”. And I can tell you something… I didn’t like it… I LOVED it!!! If I didn’t have solid steel willpower, I’d've gone right out and bought another! Essentially a Boost minus biscuits, add peanuts!

My new favourite chocolate bar!

OMG!!!!!!!!!! I am from Los Angeles and discovered the Starbar on a semester abroad in London in 1989. I immediately became an addict and every time I pass through England for any reason, I stock up on these to bring home. There is nothing like it!

Ciao!
I think there is some sort of conspiracy behind Starbars!!!!Check out cadburys website and you will find no mention of the beloved LOVE BAR! I even sent them an email on sales but what do I get? – a link to the website that shows nothing about them! What is going on? If you you how to get them free, give me a shout.

I loved these things and now I’m exiled to America haven’t had one in years. My British husband claims not to know them at all, so thanks for the proof. Now all I need is a few cases of them …

Mickboyle is 100% correct. Starbar is indeed a re-incarnation of Cadburys Nunch, a 1970s popular choclate bar – remember the add where a dark haired woman walked through a forest with a horse behind her …anyway, Nunch changed name a few times and eventually became starbar- tastes very similar to the original Nunch bar- enjoy

I’m sure that this product first came to market as the ‘Nunch’ bar sometime in the early eighties I think. It was Nunch in Ireland at least – I’m sure of it. I can’t get anyone to believe me and haven’t been able to find any proof. Any help out there? Bar was same size and shape except maybe a little more powdery on the inside. Wrapper was predominantly blue (like most rappers these days!)

Star Bars are the best!

I used to eat these all the time when i was younger (and somehow i’m still less than 10 stone now at the age of 31) but then i think they stopped making them, so i switched to Peanut Boost (attempted replacement by Cadbury’s).

When i mentioned them to some work mates about 2 years ago they thought i was imagining things, and strangely enough i found some in my local shop 2 days later so i bought about 10 to prove i wasn’t.

Well done eating all of those Chocstress…

I think they have changed the wrapper’s Simon, i seem to remember they used to be plain orange not the orange/yellow sunburst that they are now.
