"Texan Bar, not seen them for years. I remember a chocolate called Texas was quite chewy is that the same bar you have mentioned or something different "
Yes had chocolate on the outside and a orangery/yellow chewy inside, could pull your teeth out if not careful |

Most things that have been said are still available now, in places like home bargains and even in Poundland! Any supermarket sells own brand midget gems for like 30p! So get looking or maybe I should set up a fab sweet shop, might call it Double Dip   xx |

There's a long established online Retro Sweets company where you can order sweets from across the years.
A Quarter of, plus add in the dot com dot UK will get you to the right site.
Plus, there's an old time sweet shop here in Warwick which sells Retro Sweets of all types with some 200 different sweets on display. |

Taz bars (caramel version of freddo)
Candy sticks (the ones you would pretend were cigarettes and came with a collectable card in the box)
Not sweets but the 10p tom tom crisps. Little puff tomato flavoured crisp balls. Used to love them. |

"Loved aniseed balls too
Fireballs were a favourite at our school "
Fireballs haha remember those, made your mouth numb
I remember going to the local shop, 20p, used to get a bag of sweets some 1/2p, lasted for days.
And remember getting the 10p deposit back on certain lemonade bottles, Corona springs to find oddly enough!?!? |

"what happened to walnut whips?
I love a Walnut Whip. You can still get them. "
Yes but they are not the same, the old ones had two walnuts one on the top and one on the inside one the base. The chocolate was also a spiral of chocolate rather than the seemingly moulded "cone" of today. |
