Confectionery from yesteryear...

ST. AUSTELL, CORNWALL

Which confectionery did you have as a child? What do you miss that is difficult to find or not made anymore? I remember spangles, they were fruit flavoured fizzy boiled sweets. Can't get them any more. Caramac and Timeout are another two of my favourites but can't find them very easily.

Who remembers Tudor Crisps (a canny bag of Tudor)?

Half penny Mojo's were a big favourite, as was the Texan Bar and those silver coloured gobstoppers which were apparently banned due to some toxic ingredient in the silver coating.

There’s loads of old style sweets shops popping up. Mostly in cities or shopping centres.

You can go and indulge in some sweet childhood nostalgia and have them bend you over and give you a royal good shafting on the price to top it off

That was called sweet tabacco. Was basically coconut covered in chocolate and dusted in chocolate powder. Looked quite realistic.

I remember chocolate cigarettes which looked quite convincing. You could even eat the paper covering!

Caramac, Topic and Cadbury caramel full size bars and share size bars are still sold in all my town shops including Asda.

Most of the sweets mentioned are still readily available in a lot of shops. Not the same size and double the price

Cadbury coconut boost. They don't do it anymore and a few years ago there was a Facebook campaign to get it back. Must have failed

"coincidentally, i've just bought a big bag of flying saucers...hadn't seen them for years!

they taste like holy communion!

As a good catholic boy lol

Never had sherbet tasting holy communion but I know what you mean.

My fave of all time apart from choc limes sweet mushrooms frys multi flavoured chocolate cream bars and rasberry ruffles has to be the hard liquorice sticks that were flat on one end and you had to nearly break your teeth on gnawing through it... yum yum lol"

liquorice oar made your teeth Brown

I can still remember the taste, smell and sound of a mint cracknell. I lived Old Jamaica too.

Flimsy things now. Back in the day it took forever to gnaw through the incredibly thick chocolate at the top. It was like winning a good medal when you eventually made it through to that gorgeous creamy centre. Now the mearest knock and they break apart. Just not the same.

I used to like Fry's mint creme bar, & thought they were discontinued long ago. Found them a few weeks ago but I think the memory was better than the taste ( although they could have changed recipe I suppose)
