Not sure about an egg one (can't imagine that being very tasty), but you might perhaps be thinking of the ones that had a picture of a golf ball on the front, which I believe were coated in plain chocolate instead of milk chocolate.

I may of course be wrong. I have this memory of an egg and milk one from being in a Co-op cafe in the early 70’s. I may of course be wrong.

I've got some of the orange flavoured ones at the moment, and I'd hardly call them smothered in chocolate. No wonder they don't use the old "if you like a lot of chocolate on your biscuit join our club" jingle - it isn't true any more. I have to agree with you Mike.

It's a shame they keep messing about with things from your childhood. Makes you wonder if you're memories of things were wrong. I really used to enjoy Club bars but now they're a bit, well, meh...
