Rowntree's Savannah (sp.?): dark chocolate pyramids filled with chocolate creme and apricot pieces. Very premium product.
Cancelled just before launch as the apricot bits fermented, cracking the chocolate and leaking goo everywhere. Even the non-leaky ones were just kinda nasty tho.
Sold off in the York Rowntree factory shop. One family I knew loved them, so we got two cases of Savannah which they eked out for months.

@scruss ooh they sound good as well.You did well to make them last.
When I was young we had relatives that worked in a Cadbury factory who got seconds as well as more exotic bars only sold outside the UK which we got to enjoy. -
@emsquared my brother worked for both Rowntree (into Nestlé) and Cadbury. Much factory shop, wow. I'm allergic to cocoa now, alas.
I'm glad I got a tour of Rowntree's amazing Haxby Road factory: the giant wafer-ageing rooms for Kit-Kat, the peppermint and sugar-heavy air of the Polo press room, steam-heated pipes filled with liquid chocolate everywhere, not to mention the giant melangers rolling and smoothing the product...
