@ProfessorMoody - I loved those chewy sweets!

Chocolate Mint, Chocolate Orange and Peach Angel Delight.

My Mum used to make a pudding that was a layer of chocolate rice crispy cake then a layer of double whipped cream then a layer of choc orange or choc mint or peach angel delight. Sprinkle flake on the top. Refrigerate for a few hours and then eat. To this day that remains the best pudding I have eaten.

Also Sainsbury's used to do a thing called bacon grill. I think it was a tin and you'd slice it up then fry it and we'd have it with chips OMG!

So glad they brought back Roast Beef Monster Munch - whatever were they thinking getting rid of them for so long?!

Aztec bars, and a refridgerated chocolate dessert made with trifle sponges, sherry and double cream. The recipe died with my Mum.

Gino gelato mint choc chip ice cream,

Cheese Buttons from Sainsbury's (I think, or maybe M&S). Tiny, cheesy little puffs of air you could pop on your tongue and a bag contained millions of them so would last much longer than a normal bag of crisps. Miss them!

@Bluesheep8 I remember those coconut mallow biscuits as they were my dad's favourite - they were called Jamborees.

I was really excited when I saw they'd brought back Trios and bought two packs but threw them away after tasting one - they're not the same at all Sad

I wish they'd bring back fuse bars, mingles, cabanas and Lyons iced tarts.

Green spaghetti.

WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll · 02/08/2018 19:43

Green spaghetti

We once accidentally made that as students. You wouldn't long for THAT to be available again....

ShapelyBingoWing · 02/08/2018 19:45

I miss Trio bars

They're in Home Bargains too Smile

Badcat666 · 02/08/2018 19:45

Birds Hot Chocolate Crunch pudding.

For years I thought I had imagined this.

Super Mousses

Ice lolly/creams in the shape of a foot

Stephisaur · 02/08/2018 19:47

I miss turkey twizzlers, but to be honest it’s more the coating I miss the flavour of!

Charmatt · 02/08/2018 19:47

Hellas bars! Omg, those were the days!

cazzyg · 02/08/2018 19:47

Deltas/Potato Triangles

Bacon Wotsits

Bitz mint chocolate

Logger bars

YouCantStopTheSignal · 02/08/2018 19:48

Toffos.

Denis the Menace bars, they were a bit like Wham bars but were raspberry flavour on one side and licorice flavour on the other.

Prawn cocktail flavoured Quavers and salt and vinegar ones too.

Ninja turtle pizzas in the shape of turtle feet with weird toppings like pepperoni and marshmallow or ham and apple.

Turkey Twizzlers. Still haven't forgiven that bastard Oliver for that one. White bread, butter, ketchup, Twizzlers. It was dirtiest hangover sandwich but it was the best.

White chocolate Smarties! The shells were dark green and they were so good. I used to pick them out of the packet to eat last.

Flavoured Micro Chips, there was a bacon one, a cheese one, and I think a vinegar one.

Baked beans pizza.

Shoppingwithmother · 02/08/2018 19:48

Another vote for Cremola Foam - the raspberry one - it’s impossible to describe how delicious it was, but I can machine the exact taste now!

Happy Faces biscuits.

M&S gammon crisps.

Some cereals that looked a bit like Weetos but were not chocolate flavour just sort of sweet brandy flavour and were around and then gone ages before Weetos came out - I can never remember - anyone know?

Shoppingwithmother · 02/08/2018 19:49

Oh yes, I loved the assorted Toffos - I liked the banana ones and my sister liked the strawberry so we could swap them.
