Desperately looking to find a Honeycrisp Chocolate Bar. I ate then late 70s and early 80s. I have some fond memories around this chocolate bar. I’m from Canada, so not sure if it was made here or not. Has none else heard of this bar? It was milk chocolate with honey and some kind of crisps in it, like maybe rice crispiest , not sure but it was my and my late husband’s favourite.

I m wondering if there is still a candy similar to chicken bones candy only square shape. It is a hard brown candy, crunchy like chicken bones candy and with a soft centre. I can’t remember what flavor it was, if it might have been butterscotch or peanut butter maybe. I remember having this as a child.
