I am sure that most people remembers KP Choc Dips in their plastic container that had a compartment of chocolate sauce and a deeper one for biscuit dippers, where one would dip them into the sauce.
They are another one of those "they probably don't make them anymore because they are no longer advertised on TV" products. I am certain that they make a comeback every few years, but you would never find them if you were deliberately looking for them. A bit like Heinz Toast Toppers.
I think that they did a white chocolate one - and perhaps a caramel or even an orange version? Perhaps the old memory is cheating on me in this early hour.
And I am certain that the KP factory in Ashby-de-la-Zouch still does mass production of them even to this very day - I believe that it is mostly corner shops and off-licences that would most likely sell them these days, somewhere close to either chocolate or crisps are sold on the shelves.
There are two adverts for them on YouTube that I can see at the moment - one from 1985 with some mischievous grannies on swings (and a greengrocer in brown trousers, who ends up with a tomato on his nose "Comic Relief"-style, and one from 1987 which parodies a 1960s Rediffusion pop music show. There is even a 1991 advert with a sub-Pet Shop Boys MTV parody on it.
I am certain that I am not the only one who remembers them.
