A multipack of three YORKIE Original bars, five solid chunks of smooth, milk chocolate. YORKIE chocolate evolved from a bar that was originally launched in 1924 under the name York Chocolate as a single milk chocolate bar produced in York. Throughout Second World War York Chocolate was the only chocolate Rowntrees continued to produce, it was produced as a plain chocolate with added vitamins to be sent to refugees in camps, or supplied for soldiers ration packs. In 1966 York Chocolate was discontinued, then 10 years later in 1976 York Chocolate is re-launched under than brand name YORKIE, with its name due to it being manufactured at our factory in YORK where it still continues to be produced to this day. YORKIE set out to be a chunky alternative to other rival chocolate bars and was advertised as the bar of choice of the long distance lorry driver in it TV advertisement with the caption YORKIE - chunky milk chocolate. YORKIE advertising continued the association with motoring through the 1970s and 1980s and other later tongue-in-cheek campaigns have consistently positioned it as the mans chocolate brand.
