Candy Bar Form Factor

Hi WekaNZ, and welcome to AF 
By "candy bar" do you mean the real traditional phone form factor, including a standard hardware phone keypad? I'm afraid I can't think of one of those.
There are plenty of smaller Androids, < 120mm in length, but most are more like 60mm in width. I think most people would find an on-screen keyboard hard to use if the phone was much smaller than that. The old Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini and Mini Pro were just over 50mm in width, so if that's critical you might want to see if you can find one of those, or the Xperia U which is 54mm x 112 mm and a lot newer.
You might find one of the cellphone blogs helpful. For example, there's a search interface at GSMarena.com that you could use to select Android phones of a given maximum size and form factor (select "full view" for height and width to be search parameters).
Sorry if that's not quite what you wanted.

Yes.. But without the Keyboard..
I am very used to the Candy bar from factor and am finding my LG rather bulky.
