Fairy Satins- they are so pretty

We used to call them 'Spanish'
Grin so did we (grew up in Liverpool)! No idea why!

Most of my faves have been said, but may I give an honourable mention to Thornton's dark chocolate fondant mice - sadly, long-since discontinued.

I used to like the fake 'tobacco' - it was shredded coconut sweetened and dyed brown.
Also quite liked sweet cigarettes ☺️🤭

And Spangles, just the 'Old English' flavours - were they in tubes or sort of squared off, like Halls Mentholyptus?
But you can keep the fruit flavoured ones.

Chewits Xtreme Sour Apple.
Dinky Deckers.

Fry's Turkish Delight. Love it.
And I still like a Cadbury's Flake bar. It tastes much the same to me as it's always done. At least they don't advertise it like they used to

Cinnamon bun warm from the oven
Turkish delight

So many good ones have already been mentioned. My favourites are:

The bags of shrimps and bananas
Egg custards (might have eaten both in the box today and told DH that my mum ate one when she popped round)
Chocolate peanuts
Toffifee
Fruit gums
Morrison’s sweet shop ice cream (candy floss and bubblegum flavour)
Oh and cold ambrosia custard if that counts!
