It was a cruel blow to the sweet-toothed when Bounty bars were declared non-kosher some years ago. Well, happily, they are not only back on the approved list but they are now actually certified by the London Beth Din, according to the latest edition of the United Synagogue's Kosher Nosh Guide.

Manufacturers Mars did a deal last year with the Beth Dint to bring some of its best-known products formally under the kosher net. Now chocaholics can reap the dividends.
