M&S have had walnut whips recently I think, but they’re tiny and there’s no walnut inside.

Pizza crisps- we're they Bitsa Pizza?

Seasonal chocolate:
Galaxy used to do a small easter egg (creme egg sized) which called a truffle egg. THEY WERE AMAZING.
At Xmas, Galaxy also did one of their Xmas squares with caramel. Also, amazing.

Spiras 4 eva.
Snowflakes

Most chocolate before palm oil was much nicer and I mourn Terry's chocolate oranage, vile now.

Foxy- those are the mini whips!
They also do full sizes ones, with a walnut on top, in a three pack.

Fuse bars
Secret bars
Frosties
And circular Cadbury eclairs in a tube

Fembot123 · 13/02/2021 15:33

Were Spiras like a ripple?

devildeepbluesea · 13/02/2021 15:33

I always come on here to lament the demise of Pacers and Spiras.

But I have another offering: a biscuit so not strictly a sweet but.

Does anyone else remember Gingerella biscuits? Really thin, gingery-buttery biscuits. They were amazing. Ginger nuts' more delicate, refined younger sister.

MechantGourmet · 13/02/2021 15:34

Ooh yes- galaxy truffle eggs! Amazing.

Fembot123 · 13/02/2021 15:34

I loved peanut banjos as a child. I was gutted when they stopped doing the.

@AliceinBunniland A google reveals they may have been Burtons potato puffs

NatashaAlianovaRomanova · 13/02/2021 15:42

Milky Way before they changed the filling to that white rubbish they have now!

Frosties
Golden cup

A PP mentioned woolies banana toffees - I loved the banana swirl toffees you used to get.

SauvignonBlanche · 13/02/2021 15:42

I loved Cabanas and really miss Texan bars Sad

lachy · 13/02/2021 15:48

Pacers.
Balisto bars.
Sicilian Lemon bars from M&S

BUT! You can definitely get Walnut Whips in M&S. I know this because I ate three for breakfast not so long ago

RuthW · 13/02/2021 15:49

'You can get Galaxy counters that are buttons I think?'

Counters are counters and have been around since the 70s. They are nothing like buttons.

They used to be in a small white bag with a pelican on.

rosetylersbiggun · 13/02/2021 16:04

Anyone remember Cadbury's Christmas Puddings? Little round balls of chocolate, with a kind of truffle filling?

Penville · 13/02/2021 16:24

Another vote for Spira and Mars Delight

I also miss Milkybar Choo, the Galaxy bubble egg and Galaxy presents 🙂

Covidcorvid · 13/02/2021 16:28

@AliceinBunniland

I liked pink wafers in the 80s / 90s? I don't think you can get those any more
I got some in morrisons last year.
AliceinBunniland · 13/02/2021 16:32

Oh yes Frosties We used to have the cola ones and the fruit ones

They could have been Bitza Pizza

I still like Terrys Chocolate Orange!

I don't remember Pacer or Gingerella

I remember the Galaxy eggs, didn't realise you can't get them any more

I'm sure I've had Fruit Polos in the last couple of years

I used to like when Smarties had promotional packs with different colours like they had ones where the purple ones had faces on purple chocolate inside?

The Burtons potato puffs packets look familiar
