I love the yogurt Ritter bars but haven’t seen that particular one for ages, please let me know if you see it anywhere. Also Turkish delight and Lindt.

I m one of these weird people who don’t like chocolate
Pear drops my childhood favourite and at Christmas
new berry fruits
and I m of an era that only had plain crisps and that’s what I still like best buy oven cooked now

Lindt chocolate is my favourite these days and in the past it was Cadbury’s hazelnut.

Flake then and Green and Black's Almond now.

I don’t like sweet things, haven’t done for many years, but as a child it was crunchie bars, Caramac, gosh that was rich, proper fruit gums with the different shapes and flying saucers.

Scampi Fries!
And - Cheese Moments!
Oh how I loved them!

DH’s sister had a pub, and whenever he went there without me, he would bring me back several packets of Cheese Moments!

Oooh yes Wotsits, tomato Snaps, pickled onion Monstermunch
Those little packs of Scampi n Chips they usually sell in pubs

Morning nanna8

I’m not going off sweets but have developed a taste for those I didn’t appreciate before.
Such as marshmallows, coconut ice, nougat, fruity chewy sweets.
Not so mad on chocolate nowadays unless it’s special. I like milky bars and Ferraro Roche especially the coconut ones.

I think that my all time favourite is a Star Bar.
I’m not sure if they do them anymore.
I used to really like Whispers. In fact I remember the first time I had a whisper. It must have been around 1984 on holiday in Falmouth with my mom and dad.
My mom and I had one each, and we were blown away by this new chocolate sensation!

I don’t really have a sweet tooth, though.
I’m more of a crisp person; not proper crisps but things like Snaps, Quavers, Hula Hoops and the like.

In fact, I might start a crisp-based sister thread to yours nanna8! smile

What is your current and past favourite?

I was really into Fry's Turkish delight once
Crunchies once as a child
Duncan's Walnut whips way back when
Those Lindt balls more recently
Now it's Aldi's milk chocolate hazelnut bars but they are very big, makes for being a total piglet.
Are you going off sweet things as you get older? Sadly, I still love them as much as I always did.
