Jane I too remember those twisted sticks and like Christina said i don't think they were barley sugar but more like a long Werthers sweet filled with chocolate, possibly it was a butterscotch twist.

Used to love sherbet lemons and sherbet dabs. Lemonade powder licked off the palm of your hand! Now I eat the occasional Sugarfree toffee, from the large chemist, and sugarfree or diabetic dark choc, one square only.

Jane... I remember the sticks you are talking about... but as I remember, the one with the chocolate down the middle was a hard, crunchy pale brown coloured chocolatey twisty stick, whereas the barleysugar twirly stick was all barleysugar, & all golden !....................
I`m sure you will know what i`m on about !!
I used to like banana chews...they were yellow & brown, & I let them get soft before i ate them ! mmmmmm.....

Does anyone remember 'Coffee Crisp'? it came in a gold wrapper.

As halloween is coming up, I thought I would mention Toffee Apples, they are lovely and they must be healthy with all that fruit

Jane, my mum used to love those Turkish delights... chocolate covered aren't they?
My husband likes them too.

All at once Wendy lol

Hi all ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I dont eat sweets or chocolate much, but if i do fancy some it has to be
Turkish Delight or Caramel chocolate

or sweets its pear drops or lemon sherberts

umm

My Mum just loved Turkish Delight,and Cadbury Flakes.When not eating them it would be coconut mushrooms and those liquorice whirls with the jelly aniseedy sweet in the middle of the coil.

they all sound good to me

It must have been someone who doesn't like sweets who did it Jane.
Also I wanted to add Coffee Creams to the list of sweets, I love them but they seem to have gone out of favour as I never see them now since woolworths pick n mix disappeared

I posted on here this morning and I think it has gone!!!!!.It was about twisted barley sugar sticks with chocolate that went down through the middle.I wanted to know if you can still get them.
There is one deleted post which I think was mine and it wasn't me that did it lol

Are you lot still eating them sweets lol

Anybody ever heard of TROACH DROPS? They were my grans favourite in Birmingham and I remember them from when I was little.
I think they must be a local Brummie things as I have never found them anywhere else.
cheers,

When I was a little girl (about 5 years ago) I loved chocolate buttons with hundreds and thousands on, when you could buy them in quarters in W...worths, ok maybe a bit longer than 5 years ago.
The worst I've ever tasted was real turkish delight from, you guessed it, Turkey, it's absolutely foul.

Keith, is this thread your subtle way of finding out what we all like so you can go out and buy us all a Christmas present?

Oh Annx I love Thorntons chocolates too, the problem I have is that Thorntons is in my local bookshop, so when I go to buy a book, I end up buying chocolates aswell, and I love their Rum Truffles.
