Treats that are no longer available

I’d forgotten about Horlicks tablets, Foxglove! I used to be rather addicted to them which probably helps to account for the state of my teeth.

I often would love to try something I was so fond of in my school days but never see nowadays ..tiger nuts yummy

These are the peeled ones which I buy quite often - but they also do the tougher ones with all the skin on.

Gooseberry Creams from the original Quality Street Box! Sound revolting but were absolutely yummy - BRING THEM BACK PLEEEZE
(A tin [yes, tin] of Quality Street was always bought at Christmas in our house - a great treat)

Foxglove77 oooh yes Horlicks tablets, lovely!

Kate1949 there were two bars that you may remember, the Cadbury’s Milk Tray one, and another called Caley Tray

Foxglove 77 yes Horlicks tablets and slabs of Palm toffees, various flavours.

Clarnico Iced Caramels!

Another vote here for Fry's Five Centres. I still buy Fry's Chocolate Cream. We used to have Lucky Numbers chocolates as a treat. Also those bars of chocolate with a different filling in each bit. Cadburys I think. Like a box of Milk Tray but in a bar.

Boiled eggs, cheese, butter, chicken, minted lamb, roast beef. And so much more. After years of stomach problems I've been diagnosed with egg and lactose intolerance, I'm also a diabetic and since being put on folic acid cannot stand meat. I still have a tasty diet but I do miss some foods, but to be pain free it's worth it.

Bags of sherbet, I would dip my finger in the bag.

On the way home from school I used to buy a little square sweet called Fruit Salads. They were four for a penny ! Not seen them for decades ?

Didn't like the small hard sticks of liquorice, they were bitter.

Grandma jet snap! I’ve been looking for it for several years but have found it at B&M stores and amazon, also a few corner shops sell it

polnan - I was given a small bag of Licquorice Allsorts recently and I thought ‘Oh goody goody’. My joy was short lived however! They were so different to the originals - hard and virtually tasteless and there were more little pieces of plain licquorice than I remember from the past. Time marches on and so much changes but at least we can have fun recalling so many simple things.

Liquorice root. It was like pieces of wood and when you bit through it was a sweet liquorice taste. I think they were 2 pieces for a halfpenny.
I also remember eating locust beans too.

Blue sapphire: Oh those biscuits with the hard coffee icing on them! Where did they go? I loved them because they weren't too sweet, and because hardly any cakes or biscuits have a strong taste of coffee. I used to make coffee ice cream for dinner parties, but now I don't have dinner parties if I make some I'll end up eating it all myself. Can never see why chocolate's such a big deal and not coffee. I want to try Waitrose mocha hot cross buns - it's a forty minute walk for me to Waitrose which should burn off the calories in advance!

Callard & Bowser butterscotch with individual gold wrappers - their striped liquorice toffee, their luxury nougat! ?

SO lovely, SUCH a treat.

Another vote for Aztecs, delicious. Anyone remember Heinz Mock Turtle soup, I used to love it.

I used to love Clarnico mint creams pce612. Are you sure they're not available. I'm going to look them up right now.

Oooo candy cigarettes. Chalky but nice. LOL

The only memory I have are of the colours Lexisgranny. It was the novelty value I think.

I used to love some crisp type treats called potato puffs. Yummy. But then I do love anything in the way of crisps. ??

GagaJo. I think you are talking about Fry’s Five Boys, which had five rather sickly fruit flavoured creams. The boys in question all had very rosy cheeks and what my mother used to call turnip top hairstyles.

Gannygangan- loved that too- and they used to do chocolate 'cigarettes' too.yet somehow we never really connected any of that with real smoking- just used to tear off the paper wrappers& munch the sweets.(& no I've NEVER been a smoker!)

Condensed milk in a tube - oh and pontefract cakes ( I guess you can probably still get those in old fashioned sweet shops)
