Spangles.

Mint Cracknell. That chocolate covered green glass fibre looking stuff that blasted everywhere when you bit into it. Yummmmmy
And for the more mature people like myself, some may go back as far as remembering "Firemen's Hose" a thin, long, red, strawberry flavoured kind of liquorice

I miss Clark Bars. They never made it to the UK as far as I know, I'm not even sure they're still available in the US.

Anyway, I miss 'em.

I remember 'pacers' they were white mint squares (exactly like opal fruits) but with 3 green stripes across em. - but i weren't keen on them, I did like spangles, but my fave

was the pyramint. It was dark chocolate triangle pyramid with white mint fondue centre.. Mmmmm making my mouth water.

I wish they did a cadbury fruit bar though, you know like fruit and nut without the nuts though, i rememember writing to them once, ask them to do one, for people like me who hate nuts in choc, or for allergies, apparently they did a 'just sultana' they told me but wasn't successful.

Shame... I bet it would be now... Cadbury's is the best!!!!

Great website!

They have the Spanish Gold that I was going to mention remember getting that as a nipper, packaged to look like a box of tabacco.

My faves:

Olde Jamaica
Aztec

and anything with peanut butter which I think one of the reasons we had to stop going to Florida
