Sweets I miss

I remember buying Fry's 5 Boys chocolate bars. I used to visit a little shop run by an older lady called Mrs Thorpe. She sold bread, sweets and chocolate and cigarettes. She sold sweets in jars, sherbet dabs, and barley sugar sticks. There was also another stick, light brown in colour and tasting a bit like Werther's originals, and running down the centre there was chocolate. I don't remember the name, but I can almost taste it, just writing about it.

Terry`s Neapolitans, not all that cheap, so only an occasional treat, wish I could still get them. Oh, and Nestles Triple Bar, 3 layers of milk, white and dark chocolate, lovely.

Walnut Whips when they had a walnut at the bottom, inside the mallow, and on the top. Such heaven!

Cough drops and pear drops. Frys mint bar. I doubt I could eat one now but I used to love those and spangles. Sherberts drops in a little white bag from the sweet shop. Lovely ?

I LOVED Tiffins!!

You can still get Caramac and at christmas our local supermarket had caramac buttons in a tube. I loved that too. Less keen on the Frys bars

You can still get Fry's Peppermint Creme lemon. But not the lemon one!

And I do remember seeing Tiffin but I can't remember having it.
I can remember seeing Smarties in a little box, rather than a tube. And Jelly Babies too. Can you?

Our treat when young was a caramac and I still buy them occasionally when I have forgotten what a huge disappointment they are now!

There was a great bar of choc called Tiffin, anyone remember that?
Also a choc bar with a lemon filling, and a green pepermint filling choc bar, all by Fry?

Amazin Raisin Bars anyone?

Funnily enough I've just bought a jigsaw of sweets and chocolates from the 1950s. Olde English Spangles are on it (my favourite too) and Caramac and Fry's 5 Centre chocolate. Other's are Cadbury's Coffee Dessert (don't remember that one?); Sky Bar; Frollies and Crackerchoc. The poshest looking are Rowntrees Milk Motoring (?), Bolero and Terry's Devon Milk. We were a very poor family so Spangles were a rare treat or the small size (4d) of Crunchie bar. When did they stop doing 2 sizes of Crunchie bar, anyone know?

I used to love Caramac, it is nothing like it used to be. Frys 5 centres was another favourite.
