I remember my litte daughter being given a mini box of organic raisins at Halloween. She said "this isn't a treat"

Tunnock's caramel bars. They would go quickly, so getting to the shop on break was paramount.

Buy the odd pack now and again. Years later, one of my favourites.

Chomps, I'd buy 10 of them and just eat them all, everyday. Our buckshot got changed into a room with vending machines, after too much losses of stock and cash

Still got mad cravings for chocolate to this day

We did, but the thing I remember most were these coconut cookies that were baked/sold before school/in the morning break. Love!

All for the princely sum of 10p - yes, I'm that old!

Lol what a question. I went to boarding school and the tuck shop was an old walk on safe next to the headmaster's study.

The best things were Wham bars, honeycomb chocolate, Dinosour Eggs (huge sour gobstoppers) and a box of old broken biscuits (from Safeway's I think!)

Great times.

Those great big balls you sucked for days!!! Changing colour through the layers?

Our tuckshop was at break and before school, sold from a table at the fire escape to the kitchen.

Great times."

Similar. School sold homemade biscuits (oat, ginger, shortbread etc) for 10p each - they were pretty big. Or there was Aussie crunch or tiffin for 30p. Or puxkyn mix type sweets for between 2p and 10p depending on the sweets.
