Forgotten chocolates/sweets

Oh, and these biscuits,

Spanish Gold sweet tobacco (in pipe tobacco style pouches) and packs of 10 sweet cigarettes (again in a fag packet style package)

And I liked Aztec bars and just loved McCowans highland toffee - especially the 1d ones in green wrapper which had soft toffee both ends.
 
Caramac. I think it was just sugar and brown, but I liked it...

Still around today, loved it as a kid, bloody awful now.

There are loads that I was partial to as a kid, any and every chocolate bar. On the sweet front used to love these

and these

Wouldn't be any good for my fillings now though. Come to think of it, was probably these that caused the fillings I have now.

I'm also partial to these, and will still happily grab a bag full at the pick and mix, and devour them in a couple of minutes

Nutty bars were very popular in our house of a Saturday evening, late 1970s. So many peanuts, probably got banned, though tbh I never heard of such a thing as a peanut allergy until the 1990s. Modern nonsense tssssk! ;)

Had to google 'discontinued chocolate bars' because it's very much out of sight out of mind, but Mars Delight were great. And Cadbury's Marble sounds excellent in the description I just read, I'd be all over that if it existed now (milk & white chocolate with praline centre!).

Remember when Wispa didn't exist and then after internet petitioning they brought it back? Great times.
 
Reading the thread reminded me of the little ice cream/sweet shop I went to as a kid. Tiny place it was and the smell when you were in there was unforgettable, just breathing it in would give you a sugar rush!
Right next door to a bakery and a little local post office on the other side

Just been on google streetmap… it’s a hairdressers, in-between a bookies and a charity shop :cry:
