I know, I have a problem, but I was trying to tell my husband about a candy bar that I distinctly remember that I thought was called Ubetcha, but I can’t seem to find it. It was peanut butter and chocolate, but not the same kind of crumbly peanut butter in Reese’s, it was more like the peanut butter ribbons in ice cream but covered in chocolate. I don’t have any recollection of what the wrapper looked like or even what the bar looked like. Just what it tasted like and what I thought the name was.
Does anyone else remember this one? There is a distinct possibility this one was more regional, like the sky bar. I don’t remember having it as a child, I think I had it when I lived on the east coast which would have been the 90’s.

That sounds vaguely familiar, but I don't recall the exact name. I'm still mad they took my Marathon candy bars away. Curly Wurlys are just not the same.

There was a large cherry lollipop that I loved to get at the movie theaters. I think it was called a "charm" .... I recall it as being divine!

That is totally it! I did remember the wrapper after all, but I thought I was merging it with the UNO bar, but that labels are pretty darn close. Thank you! |

I liked the lemon lime Sweet & Sour Charms pops. If a candy from years ago is still being made, you can probably find it at www.oldtimecandy.com/ they have it all broken down by decade. |

I miss Twix, when they had the peanut butter or caramel choice. Also had the vanilla cookie and covered in chocolate. I think in the last few years they may have changed the cookie to chocolate??? Don't like that!! You used to be able to find a box of them in the cookie aisle in the late 80's/early 90's. I used to work at a grocery store back then. |

@skellinton did you grow up in the PNW? I don’t remember a Betcha candy bar, it doesn’t look familiar at all. Of course, when I was a kid I went straight to the Reese’s so I might’ve overlooked it.

There are several varieties of Twix here. |

I think there is only the caramel in the original version. I don't like the funky flavors.

I only remember it from when I lived on the east coast, I can’t find any info about the betcha bar, but I think it must have been regional like the Sky Bar. |

We have PB Twix here, for a long time after they brought it back it had a chocolate cookie which sounds wonderful, but it wasn’t as good. Recently I noticed it had the shortbread type cookie back and tastes like what it originally did. |
