A Starbar split in half

Starbar is a brand of chocolate bar manufactured by Cadbury. The bar has a chocolate covering and is filled with caramel and crushed roasted peanuts. The product is also sold in Canada and Germany under the name Wunderbar.

History[]

Initially popular in the mid-1970s, it was promoted as "the munchiest bar ever" and in 1985 it briefly became "Peanut Boost",^{[2][verification needed]} only to return to Starbar as popularity of the Boost bar waned. It was promoted in the UK in the mid-1980s with a postal offer (3 wrappers plus P+P got you a Starbar Ruler, Pencil and a copy of Douglas Adams' "The Restaurant at the End of the Universe").^{[citation needed]}

In Canada and Germany, Wunderbar is a Cadbury Adams product marketed under licence of Cadbury UK Limited. It is also available in a package of "minis" and in a 12 g size for Halloween.
