Toast toppers and those baked chicken and chips snacks! Sure many of you can add or fondly reminisce about treats or certain foodstuffs from the dark and distant past.

Worcester Sauce twiglets, rolo cookies, salt and vinegar wheat crunchies.

Marble chocolate bars. Gosh I want one.

Bitza pizza crisps, the cheese & tomato ones were the best. And logger chocolate bars "i truly love a logger bar (what even more than me?) It's got marks on like a tree!"
Also terrys pyramint, they were gorgeous

AtleastitsnotMonday What???? Worcester Sauce Twiglets? Wow, how did I miss those?

I haven’t seen scampi flavoured nik naks for years 😔

Nutty bars. Fudge rolled in shelled peanuts. I have no idea why they tasted so good but they did.

MiddleClassProblem · 12/05/2020 19:50

Nutty bars were wonderful. I used to buy myself one on a Sunday when I cycled to the village shop to get the papers back in 1981. Grin

Orange Aeros and marmite arises by walkers.

Sigh

Thehop · 12/05/2020 20:12

Thehop · 12/05/2020 20:15

CN you all please put pics of what are you talking about? Pleeeease! I don't know these (haven't grown up here) and I love learning about British food Blush

Some of them come up with too many different results when I google

YouTheCat · 12/05/2020 20:20

You can still get marmite crisps. I've got some.

OwlinaTree · 12/05/2020 20:20

Yummy, I remember those bitza pizza crisps. Lovely.

Chillipeanuts · 12/05/2020 20:22

Tomato flavoured Snaps.

Salt and Vinegar Quavers?! Wow 😳

Never heard of them. I thought I was a woman of the world, until just now 😁

BalanchineBallet · 12/05/2020 20:26

An Aztec bar. Like a super hard mars bar, but Cadbury’s.

They do orange aero in my village shop...

Whattodowhattodooo · 12/05/2020 20:26

Favourite snacks and where did they go?
SophieB100 · 12/05/2020 20:29

@Whattodowhattodooo
Tesco's had the chicken and ham Findus crispy pancakes when I went in today!

1Morewineplease · 12/05/2020 20:31

Yes! Nutty bars. They were heavenly.
My favourite was a packet of ‘Potato Puffs’ like the lightest ever bubbles of filo pastry.
I remember Milk Tray used to produce a bar of assorted chocolates in a bar ( 60s and 70s.) Lush.

At Christmas and on special occasions we would have a box of Terry’s Neapolitans... tiny bars of mint , orange, coffee, plain and milk chocolate. Loved them. ( maybe not the coffee ones,)

crustycrab · 12/05/2020 20:32

Asda have tomato snaps and chicken and ham crispy pancakes

YouTheCat · 12/05/2020 20:33

I loved those Neopolitan. My Gran used to get them.

Whattodowhattodooo · 12/05/2020 20:33
