What is Trio?

A Trio bar is a delicious treat with three main parts. First, there's a crispy biscuit at the bottom. On top of the biscuit, you'll find a smooth, sweet toffee cream. All of this is then covered in a thick layer of creamy milk chocolate. It's a perfect mix of crunchy, chewy, and chocolatey!

A Sweet History

Trio chocolate bars first appeared in the 1980s. They were originally made by a company called Jacob's. Over time, Trio had a few different versions. One was called Choc Trio, which had soft chocolate cream instead of toffee. This version came out in 1988. There was also a strawberry version, which had soft strawberry cream.

Sadly, Trio bars were stopped in 2003. But many people missed them! Because of a special campaign on Facebook, the original toffee-flavored Trio bar made a comeback in March 2016. So, fans could enjoy their favorite treat again!

Famous TV Advertisements

Trio was very well-known in the 1980s for its fun television commercials. These ads were created by an animator named Bob Godfrey. The commercials featured a cartoon character named Suzy. She would sing a catchy song to the tune of "Day-O (The Banana Boat Song)". The song went: "Trio, Trio, I want a Trio and I want one now!" This jingle became very famous and helped people remember the Trio bar.
