Description
A thick, chocolate bar from the mid to late '70s that had air introduced into it when it was formed. It resulted in a "swiss-cheese" effect inside the bar. I guess they thought it should be called "lite" since, because of all the little holes, there wasn't really as much chocolate there as it appeared to be. I thought it tasted a little bland.

There is a Canadian equivalent to Chocolite (I'm told) that is called Wispa, and I believe it's still made

THIS COCKA-LITE BAR WAS A RIPOFF OF MY FAMOUS WONKA SCRUNCH BAR...THE COCKA-LITE BAR WAS DISCONTINUED AFTER I SENT THE OMPALOOPA BOYS OVER TO THE COCKA-LITE FACTORY AND THEY DESTROYED THE PLACE

I L-O-V-E-D the ChocoLite bar!! Several years ago, I tried the Nestle Aero bar and those yummy childhood memories came flooding back. I just read that a product called Bubble Chocolate (or something like that) is planned to be introduced in the US. It sounds like a reincarnation of the glorious ChocoLite bar. I can't wait!!

I am told that Nestle Canada still makes the Mirage and it is exacly the same as the ChocoLite.

Isn't it strange? I was just craving the ChocoLite bar and I googled it and here we are! Ah...the collective unconscious...Anyway, I loved it, even at the tender age of, what, like 6? I'm off to google more randomness....

Did the choco lite have a tv commercial that featured a boatful of people on a chocolate river?

I loved the Choco-lite bar and wish they still made them! Like Ryan, I just googled it and found out that I am not alone. Think we could convince Nestle to bring it back in the interest of nostalgia?

Unfortunately, I never had a Choco-lite bar, but my mother talks about them constantly. So, I did a lot of research and for Mother's Day I bought her a candy bar made by Nestle, called the Aero bar. It too is a Canadian product but can be purchased through Amazon.com. Here is a link: http://www.amazon.com/Aero-10-Chocolate-Canada-Superstore/dp/B000MWFJAM/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=gourmet-food&qid=1212771790&sr=8-1

All I remember from the commercial was that it was a cartoon and there was one part where a girl was flying atop a Chocolite bar, the bar had wings as it flew. I do remember a chocolate river now that you mention it.

They need to make it again. I've been trying to figure out the name of the candy bar... everyone I described the Choco-lite to..couldn't remember it! It was my favorite candy bar!!!!! I'd love to see a picture of it...

It also had the effec t of bubbles, and I think it was in pieces (like a Dove bar) I can see it in my head!

I work in an international foods store and we got in aero bars. My first thought was "I have had this before." I googled it and found it. I would kill to have one today! ahh the 70's.....

I loved choco-lites too! I'm on a (unfulfilled) search for some of my old favorites. Choco-Lites, Milk Shake Candy Bars, Yohoo Candy Bars. No luck so far. But other posters are correct, Aero bars are the closest you will find to a choco-lite

i agree with many of you-if we all contacted nestle or whoever made this wonderful candy bar(and all other companies who used to make good food products)maybe they would re-make these items-maybe if we told them of this site they would see all the people who long for the old products. one condition-NO NEW OR IMPROVED VERSIONS!(no trans fats or sugar free or whatever crap they want to force on us-let us spend our remaining years enjoying our memories to the fullest!)hell,all the tv commercials are aimed at us now(set to music like led zeppelin,queen,etc.)why not sell us what we already proved we liked?

I LOVED Choco Lite!!! I crave it about every 3 weeks, 2 days, and 4 hours (approx). Could we maybe buy the recipe, and start making it on our own. I remember the sugar in the chocolate cruncing between my teeth. It was my favorite candy bar. Ah, the good ole days.

Here's the closest thing to a Choco-Lite that's currently manufactured: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwKNy4jSFF4 Milka Luflee is expensive, as it has to be shipped from Germany, but it's SO worth it! ;-)

Chocolite was my favorite candy bar when I was little. I remember my friends and I going up to Jakes candy store for chocolites and penny candy. I haven't had any or seen any since those days. I thought the chocolite was a figment of my adult imagination until I googled it. I'm crushed they have been discontinued completely.

Wow. I sat down and wondered what i could google up about my childhood....I thought about my very first loved Chocolate bar,"Choco-lite".I couldnt beleive my eyes that i found that any of you at all are out there still in love with and in searh of this candy bar! How sweet it is! Ya know, if all of us on here e-mail Nestle's we might make a difference and bring it back! I agree with "crazy amy"...NO NEW AND IMPROVED VERSIONS,just that same ol' choco-liciousness we all still crave to this very day, decades later!! I hope there wasn't any artifical sweeteners in it cause im allergic. Hey "Barb" im with you, i'd love to see a photo of this choco-sensation once again!! Hey "Mark"...i dont remember the wrapper being yellow with brown trim? I'm glad you said that though, i just remember chowin down on it (smiles!). Well, every one, if all else fails, all of us here could pitch in and ask to purchase the recipe, like "JCP" suggested, sound like a good idea?! Does to me, that is, if all else fails....Question: Exactly why did this choco-lite bar get discontinued anyway?

Why must everyone say "google it"? Google has enough money and the people who came up with the name are laughing that it became part of the internet lingo. Milkshake was also a good bar.

I remember as a kid I always thought the design on the canday bar looked like the window part of the front door in Bewitched. I remember the yellow papery inner wrapper. I loved these.
Terry - October 17, 2008 - Report this comment
I loved this candy bar. I remember a commercial for it which showed these guys in some sort of bubble-thing, advertising how 'airy' and 'lite' it was; when you bit into a Coco-lite, you would see air bubbles

I thought that exactly! I was wondering if I was the only one who thought that! I loved it as a kid. I was a child of the 70s, and Choco-lite is just one of many things I miss. Great minds thnk alike, eh?

To everyone on this website: I have tried to convince Nestle to start making the Chocolite candy bar again. I did not have any success. They told me that the candy bar did not sell well. I find that difficult to believe. Alot of people miss that candy bar. Any other suggestions?

Another product gone from my childhood....I couldn't remember the name until I came to this website. I bought the Aero bar awhile back from Cost Plus Imports here in Modesto, Ca and instant memories...I remember a yellow wrapper around the bar and a brown wrapper on the outside...Didn't it come only like in four pieces but connected? I also remember the little "window" or "fan shaped" design printed on each piece.

I googled ChocoLite bar and yup, just like the rest here I am! I used to steal dimes from my dad's dresser to get my ChocoLite bar fix. My dream or goal was to have a hidden stash, but I could never even save one! I was an addict. I LOVED them! Oh I wish they would bring it back!

Aero bars are not the same. They are similar, but the texture is different. I LOVED Chocolites....I cannot believe Nestle won't give them another try. Never should have stopped making them to begin with considering some of the crappy candy they still sell.

Awww chocolite how I miss thee....great reminiscing on my childhood and yes it was the 70's and i was a baby...38 now lol

All of you choco-lite lovers are my new best friends. Same story...I had a craving and then memory took over...told my sister...she brought back an Aero from Canada. It helped but it was not "lite" or "bubbly" enough...If Nestle hears us, let's have a 70's reunion and cruise down that river or float in the balloon!

I loved them. Didn't they have tiny bits of honey too?

I loved the Choco-lite too. I remember the yellow inner wrapper and the brown outer wrapper witht he word "Choco-lite" written in some groovy 60's-70's type font. I know they were a big seller in my area. How I would love to have one right now.
