The exploding chocolate bar belongs to a cache of documents just released into the public domain by the National Archives in Kew (catalogued under KV 4/284). If you go to the website, you can see a couple of pictures.
The NA describes the stuff as "bombs disguised as lumps of coal, a can of motor oil, a booby-trapped attaché case, a car battery, a can of cleaning polish, firelighters, throat pastilles, a tin of cassoulet and a tin of Smedley’s English red dessert plums; a hand-grenade disguised as a slab of eating chocolate."

[/img]Im sure there will be Newly released files on nazi germany for the next 100years, so we can all continue to pat ourselves on our back for a job well done for destroying the evil nazi's.

Can you imagine some some prude at MI 15 wasting there time going over thousands and thousands of documents 60years old to come up with this @#% bomb in a chocolate story, when we have more inportant things happening in the world right now.
Come on get real, you cant seriously believe this @#%!
Its design to create further fear of the british population, so that the goverment can justify the things it does

Where did all the "Good" people go?
Um, lighten up. It's an exploding chocolate bar (and never used in practice).
Why would anyone in MI5, prude or whatever, be going over thousands and thousands of 60 year old documents? The NA has merely released files into the public domain that have been hitherto undisclosed.
And how does a sixty year old drawing of an exploding chocolate bar increase my fear (fear of what?), and justify the things the government does? (What things?)
There are newly released files on every kind of topic every year, and this surely is a good thing to help enlighten us about the past. I'm not sure what kind of agenda an exploding chocolate bar is supporting.

Exploding Goldmember, the Nazis responsible, too
What about exploding franks, brats and weenies--or macaroons etc. The Nazimania of today (did not exist till the 1970s), is becoming increasingly ludicrous. 
They must have seen too much Austin Powers. Hey, an exploding GOLDMEMBER, would you dig it....

Munchenerhi k-pp
so you have not explained how come exploding candy bars was restricted infomation in the first place.
i mean who really gives a dam, when there were far more important secret weapons which were made public from the start
or why they would bother disclosing it 60years later
motive????? to influence the general public..........and why???
nothing gets put into the media without a reason, and for the taxpayer to be paying some nerk at MI5 to read about 60year old exploding candy does not make sense, when there are more important threats to england right now!
