Sweet recollections!

Does any one remember the name of the sweets which were about an inch and a half oblong, hard (like a boiled sweet) on the outside and soft inside and wrapped in white 'paper' with a picture of the relevant fruit on the top? It's really annoying me that I can't think of the name!

I know the ones you mean Gally but not the name.

Coconut Mushrooms.

There was also coconut in a chocolate coating.

Caramac for me as well.

Frys peppermint cream.

Aniseed balls

?Violet cahous? Refreshers,

Its a wonder how any of us have any teeth left.

I do fancy those chocolate coconut things.

Gally, I know what you mean, but can`t remember what they were called, but I think they were made by Pascall`s?
Marelli, my favourite Spangles were the acid drop ones.

Gally, any chance they could be fruit bon bons?

I remember them too, Gally - can't think of their name .
Remember Callard and Bowsers' treacle toffee etc? It was in an oblong-ish pack and each sweet was wrapped in silver paper? Sort of grown-up sweets.

Grown up like Keiller butterscotch as well! In the gold paper.

I remember tiny chops, peas, potatoes and carrots all made from soft candy.

During the war when sweets were rationed we used to eat liquorice root, you sucked this piece of what looked like a twig until you got the juice out, very messy but nice.

I just loved liquorice root.

Cowan's Highland Toffee - with a picture of a highland cow on the wrapper. Lovely and chewy.

Number Fruit bon bons are ringing a bell. You are right! various makes.

Ahhh, liquorice root, still available in some herbal shops. Lovely, till you`d got all the goodness out, then left with a stringy mess!
