Wish they'd bring them back

I remember liking a toffee sweet that was square and had solid icing all over, except it's bottom.
They were pink or white. Sold by the quarter.
Anyone know what they were?

farnorth iced caramels. You can still buy them.

I loved Oxo flavoured crisps too.

Penny dainties,
Halfpenny caramels.
Four a penny chews.
Bonbons.

There is an old sweet shop in Belfast still does the aniseed ,rubarb & custard .loads of everything you can rem.

Wow, thank you, Feelingmyage55.

Palm toffee bars, a lovely tasty slab of toffee which came in different flavours. My favourite was the banana flavour - you could see the yellow layer sandwiched in the middle of the toffee. And Sharps Kremy Toffee, another favourite!

God, it's a wonder we managed to keep any teeth at all really!

Probably why I have fillings Bathsheba - Palm toffee bars (not the banana ones though), Sharps Kremy toffee etc

Yes I remember Spangles, Fruit Gums, Fruit Pastilles mostly as they cost 3d (old money). That's usually what my dad gave us and those were the ones that usually lasted longest. My brother was more adventurous and would buy a 3d bar of Cadbury's chocolate or 2 oz of Dolly Mixtures.

Sometimes I'd get 1d licorice sweets, a stick or a swirl with that licorice-all-sort in the middle, which I still love or a sherbert dib dab or 2 oz of aniseed balls. Then there was that chewy piece of wood that tasted of licorice that we called Spanish. That lasted ages.

Oh dear I've just found this:

Licorice is bad for you, 'particularly if you're over 40 and have a history of heart disease or high blood pressure, or both. Eating more than 57g (2 ounces) of black liquorice a day for at least 2 weeks could lead to potentially serious health problems, such as an increase in blood pressure and an irregular heart rhythm (arrhythmia).

For most people, liquorice found in foods is safe to eat and safe when consumed in large amounts in medicines for short periods of time.'

Acid drop Spangles!

Clarnico iced caramels. My Grandma always had a box stashed away, loved them.

Gillybob there is a chocolate bar in Germany called Ovomaltine which might be what you mentioned. Has crunchy malty bits in it and is very nice.
