Old fashioned chocolates?

[OTTMummA]

Hello, just wondering if anyone remembers the old sweets called hazelnut creams?

Its my MIL's bday soon, and i know these used to be her fav, but they arn't made any more, so i want to make her some instead, or an ice cream that is similar in taste.

could anyone help me? if you know what im talking about i would really appreciate a description of what they looked and were made like.

thanks

Sorry I could not get the link to work. Would these be similar? I never heard of the original sweets
