I absolutely love those pretend peanut sweets that have two little real peanuts inside them. Particularly served in a paper bag which then really annoyingly sticks to then so you spend half an hour cleaning the paper off each sweet.
Somehow that just makes then more endearing.
What are your old skool favourites and why (bonus marks for any mischievous memories associated with them)

Fizzy cola bottles - love the tangy nice
Chocolate jazz jazzles - I like the chocolate melting then crunching the sprinkles
Gummy bears - I just like them
Also the dead departed Irn Bru bars. |

"Has to be love hearts "
Something about the flavour of those and the texture of the words on your tongue made them interesting. I am guessing you aren't the "cup of brown joy" & all things whimsical professor (or are you)?  |

The original gobstoppers always had an aniseed ball in the middle. Wonder if they still do?  |

"Texan Bars. 
What's a Texan bar?"
'You wouldn't shoot a man before letting him finish his Texan bar would ya'?
I liked them but not sure what was inside. Nougat maybe covered in chocolate. My favourite st school early 80s until I discoveted Boosts.
I'll add Everton Mints (although I always thought Newcastle Mints would be more accurate) and cough candy. |

Perhaps it's the adverts that helped with memory. Who could forget a finger of fudge?
Obviously in present company that advert has a whole new meaning..... |

It was a brick hard chocolate coated caramel bar. You could take out fillings with these things! "
I loved Texan bars, but it was nougat covered with chocolate not caramel (caramel coloured) also spirals |
