Saddly, I won't get to write a review about how the candy bars tasted because they were allowed to melt in the mailbox in 90 degree heat. The shipper Indulgence chose to carelessly ship the product in a USPS mailer that had no markings stating that the contents were temperature sensitive or perishable. Had they made that simple effort, my postman would have never left them to be destroyed in the heat. There was a cooling packet in the box but without any insulation...that effort was surely moot.

When we contacted them about getting a replacement...they simply suggested that we wait until winter to order any Candy from them. Our suggestions to mark the packages fell on deaf ears. If you live anywhere that is warm at all...don't order and perishibles from them.

I got hooked on these candy bars when I lived in London in the early 90s. Finally, last spring, during a trip to Epcot Center in Orlando, I found a shop that had Curly Wurly Bars. I bought 20 of them on the spot. Little did I know, that by sharing them with my 2 sons, ages 5 and 7, I had created another Curly Wurly addict. The supply dwindled mysteriously until they were completely gone in a few days. THAT's how good they are, chewy, chocolatey, and delightful, and definitely worth risking a mother's wrath for.

I was very happy to find one of my childhood favorite candy bars (Marathon Bars) still being produced (in a narrower form) as the Curly Wurly. They are braided caramel smothered in chocolate, and they are brilliant!

My wife and I enjoyed the Marathon bars as children and one she asked if they still made them. After a little digging on the net I found the "Curly Wurly" bars. They are as good as I remember. The seller ships them with a cold pack so they come fresh without being melted. Great for a visit to your childhood years.

Remember eating these as a kid. My husband and I have been telling our own children about the "marathon bar" for years and when I found them online, I thought "this is the perfect Valentines Day gift for my husband". He is really enjoying them. Great purchase!

The Curly Wurly was really good but not for the price. If you really want the taste of chocolate over caramel, buy a pack of Rolos for half the price and no shipping. It was fun to see them again as a one time thing though.

I'm a huge fan of the Curly Wurly. As a kid I loved the Marathon bar, and the Curly Wurly is an adequate substitute.

Have had good luck in the past but this shipment arrived all grey in color and appeared to be dried out.

Bought this since I heard it was just like the old marathon bar from the late 80s and early 90s sold in the US. The curly wirly delivers! The shipping was super fast (3days) and came with a ice pack to keep it from melting on the way! Awesome seller!

Received timely, package well. Unfortunately, not like the marathon bar that I remember. Great chocolate, just not a marathon bar. Thanks for trying, Cadbury.
