Can anyone remember Harlequins, in a box like Roses and Quality Street, they were chocolates with cream centres, strawberry/orange/vanilla/coffee and my favourite, lime. Also Cadburys used to do a bar of chocolate with roses flavours in the seperate squares. toffee barrel/strawberry others and I remember a lime one there, but it didn't last long. And the other things I remember were Showboats. bought individually. they were chocolate cups, oval or square, with sponge in the bottom, and a topping of yellow or pink butter icing with a sugar sweet on...they were covered with cellophane...

I remember 'Weekend'. there was a lime fondant in there , with squiggles of chocolate on it , my favourite

I remember Harlequins-Does anyone remember Rainbow Puffs? Multi coloures rice shaped thingys, soft. In a bag with a rainbow on the front. catherine xx

you can still get rainbow drops here in the south my daughter had soon the other day.

that's it sam Rainbow drops-are they still going. my word catherine xx

if i remember correctly they were 30p. but now you can get 2 different sized bags.

does anyone remember fry's chocolate cream, dark choc with a white fondant centre. I use to love em.. catherine xx

And does anyone else think that Waggon Wheels are smaller ? (Sorry , couldn't resist that one !)

OOHHHHHHHH Fry's Chocolate Cream I'd forgotten that one - I remember as a child thinking that it was really sophisticated as more adults seemed to eat it than Kids !

I loved liquorice wood - looked like bits of old twig and you just chewed on it to get the flavour out then threw it away when all the flavour had gone. Stella

do you know, you can still buy Frys chocolate cream! a local shop was selling them off a couple of weeks ago.... wait for it.... 10 for £1 !!!!!! ( guess who bought 20 bars :))))))

er... i didnt eat them all myself Nana lol have many children and a very sweet toothed hubby :)))

Cor thanks Gillian - I will get some - yum yum !! Stella

Anyone know if you can still get white sherbert? Stella

During the war (yes I am ancient) my Mum made us some sherbert. It was lovely, fizzed. Being a nosey child, I watched her, so a few days later made some more - Andrews Liver salts mixed with suger. Sadly, I got the ratio wromg, and my litle bruv got the 'trots' Well, these things were rationed, so anything was a 'treat' Anne

Thanks Nana - I also want white sherbert !!

Nanna, that has brought back memories, Fry's five centre bars, and Em where is my share of the Fry's Chocolate Cream Bars, ?? Frys seem to have made a lot of good chocoalte bars, I liked the five boys one Linda mentions as well Gillian, yes I am sure they had numbers on the wrappers, and I am sure you could only ever get them loose ;-))

Nanna, I always used to eat the sad face first, wonder what a psychologist would make of that!!!!!! ;-)))))))

Jamboree Bags? Wagon Wheels were most definitely bigger!

nanna, i only remember jamboree bags from when my nanny used to buy them for us. must have been in about 1965-6. she would come to visit and bring us those.. I didn't see her after january 1967 as we moved away. she passed away in the eary 70's. this is part of one of those childhood memories that stay with you (hopefully always). i'm so glad i could remember the name.
