Taz comes up a lot in "discontinued chocolate bars" conversations, usually from people who remember it fondly from the 1990s and wonder whether a sweet shop might still have some tucked away somewhere. Worth clearing up straight away: it isn't made any more, anywhere.
What it was
The Taz bar was a small slab of Cadbury milk chocolate with a caramel centre, branded around Taz, the Looney Tunes Tasmanian Devil character. It sold cheaply - reports put it at around 5p a bar - making it a genuine pocket-money staple for 1990s kids rather than a premium treat, in the same rough category as Freddo today.
When it disappeared
Accounts of the exact discontinuation date vary a fair bit between retro-sweets roundups, but it's consistently placed in the late 1990s. What's agreed on more clearly is why: as licensed-character bars went in and out of fashion, Cadbury consolidated its small-format chocolate around its own characters rather than licensed ones.
What replaced it
Cadbury's caramel-filled Freddo bar is usually pointed to as the nearest modern equivalent in format - a small, affordable, caramel-centred milk chocolate bar - even though it carries Cadbury's own frog mascot rather than a licensed character.
Do we stock it?
No - Taz has been out of production for decades and isn't manufactured by anyone currently, so there's genuinely nothing to stock. If you want the closest thing still on sale, we do carry Cadbury Dairy Milk Caramel Freddo multipacks.
