Sweeties

[Mi-Amigo]

No - not the lovely posters here but Ch 5 recently showed programmes on the nation`s favourite sweets and chocolates and I was wondering what your favourites are and are there any you miss?

Me? Fav chocolate - Cadbury`s Fruit & Nut; and sweets I miss are Spangles and Fruit Gums

I used to love the TV ads - "Everyone`s a Fruit & Nutcase" and "Dont forget the fruit gums, Mum"

Not a great lover of sweets @Mi-Amigo but do like Skittles and Tangfastics.

Also have mints as I'm a smoker to freshen my breath.

Hi  @Mi-Amigo

What a lovely subject!

When I was about 8yrs we used to get big chunks of honeycomb weighed out and put in a bag, this was like the centre of a Crunchie (no choc) but big and fat and gorgeous.

I do like sweeties

My favourite is KitKat chunky peanut butter ... 2 bars for a £1 

I also like Galaxy chocolate & Wispa gold chocolate bars

Yes, @Mi-Amigo thank you for creating lovely threads

Sweets. The bane of my life

When younger I could eat as many as I liked and not gain an ounce. Now those days are gone...

Anyway, I like Mint humbugs, Kitkats, Licorice allsorts, Cadburys fruit and nut bars.

You can still get the honeycomb in most seaside places @TallTrees - I rather like the chocolate covered version and usually get a bag.
Toblerone is a favorite, but I also like wine gums and the strawberry shaped/flavored sweets and cola bottles - so long as they are not fizzy!!

The chocolate covered honeycomb are good too!  Toblerone ~ yes please!  Wine gums have large jar full bought from "The Grape Tree"  in town.

It's the honeycomb bit I like the best though.  TallTrees

Us up North remember the honeycomb crunch as cinder toffee ... used to get it loose off Leeds indoor market ...

When I was a kid and came to my Gran`s in Birmingham, she`d take me to a local shop where they sold sugar almonds - almonds coated in a shell that was so hard you had to keep sucking it to get to the almond  I bet they`d be declared a health hazard today!
