It used to be Clarnico Peppermint Creams. I would buy 'a quarter', every day, but managed to stop, eventually.
Missdeke, we had a neighbour, with 4 children. She would buy a pack of 6 doughnuts, and eat one when she got home. Then because there wasn't enough for everybody to have one after tea, she ate the rest! She was rather big!

Fortunately apart from during pregnancies weight gain has not been a problem for me, still only 8 stone 5 pounds at 75. Lucky really as I have a massive sweet tooth.

Calipso and missdeke 😆🤣😆
Snickers is my #1 candy bar - I have no willpower. Candy is getting expen$ive.
In this country Snickers was always Snickers.

I do like the occasional Snickers. Today I was given a big box of chocolates and a delicious lemon cheesecake (it's my birthday) so have already had a large slice of the cheesecake and will definitely be having some of the chocolates later too!

NorthernGardener you have my sympathy being pregnant through July and August 1995. I gave birth to my youngest son in late June the day after the summer finally arrived. Everyone said he had brought the sunshine! Unfortunately he didn’t wear hardly any of the newborn clothes that were kindly bought for him as it was so hot, all he wore most of the time was a nappy and scratch mits !
I don’t like nuts so snickers are not on my list but I love chocolate and my current favourite is a dark chocolate orange. Being dark chocolate I can happily restrict myself to 2 or 3 pieces in an evening so it lasts me a while. I haven’t seen the popping candy chocolate oranges in the shops for ages though and I really like those as well.

You can’t get dark chocolate Bounty bars any more either. They may bring them back but it’s doubtful.

You can get dark chocolate Kit Kat bars.
