Me too Foxglove77 - though strangely i hate horlicks as a drink! But i used to crunch my way through those little packs of Horlicks tablets no problem.And the aztec bars were delicious?.

They did bring back Aztec bars for a while but they didn't taste as good as I remembered them.

Dark chocolate bar with marzipan in. When they were talking about the 4 minute warning of a nuclear attack in the 1960s and 70s I always thought I would keep one handy to make the most of my 4 mins.!!

Theres a lady with a sweet stall on our local market(well when we're not in lockdown!) And shes about 60-ish id say- she never bats an eyelid when i ask for 4oz, or a 'quarter' of something!?

Morning, I don’t have any idea why, but I had a yearning for a Royal Scot biscuit yesterday! Anyone else have a longing for now unavailable food?

I used to love Royal Scot biscuits and especially with Italian white ice cream.

*disappear

And yes Gagajo- loved all those too, my word, when did they all dissapear, maybe the confectioners should bring them back!??

Midnight Mint choc ices.

The Frys bar that was a mix of colours (probably tasted vile, but I liked them as a child).

The lime barrel in Quality Street.

Nux bars

Tiffin bars

Gwenisgrat1 There's a traditional sweetshop in Truro. They sell sherbet fountains. You can buy sweets by the ounce/lbs too. Years ago my granddaughter looked amazed when I took her in there and asked for 4oz of acid drops.

I miss Potato Puffs.

NanaPlenty, I think we only had them about once a year, we didn't qualify as 'posh', though my DM could be rather Hyacinth Bouquet at times!!!

Nearest to Royal Scot are the Shorties biscuits available in many supermarkets.
I miss Barmouth biscuits - the joy of dunking, whipping them out quickly enough and melt in the mouth that had a slightly toffee edge to it!
Caramac is still available at quite a few online stores - there used to be a Mr Simms sweetshop that sold it and other old style sweets -but I think they went bust!

Spanish Gold.

I only learned years later it was make believe tobacco

Loved the stuff

Foxglove I used to have a badge that said Feed Aztecs to me.

They still do dark chocolate oranges.?

fresh.. yes, fresh, not stale.. liquorice allsorts

I treated myself to a packet.. stale, though within date
or is my memory of them being soft, incorrect, have they always been hard?

I used to love Horlicks tablets and Aztec bars.

Ooh Squiffy I can remember as a school girl being invited to a friends ‘posh’ house for tea - we had cucumber sandwiches and Vienna biscuits ?seemed like real luxury at the time .

Oh should have added Terry’s SpartN chocolates, dark with hard centres...bliss

Batgers Chinese Figs and Newberry fruits. Granted the former only seemed to be around at Christmas time. There seem to be lookalike Newberry fruits, but they are not a patch on the original.

Clarnico mint creams, Cafe Noir bicuits.

Texan bars

Gosh BS, cafe noir are my great loss too. Can still be had in France but I'm not allowed to go there at the moment. Must google for stockists.......
