RosyRat Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Anyone remember Palm Toffee ? Absolutely disgusting sandwich of cream toffee outsides with a layer of yellow, banana flavoured toffee in the middle. We had a shop near my school which would take coupons in exchange for sweets. Used to buy cheap sweets like gobstoppers and black jacks, then splurge once a week on a walnut whip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medusa Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 My particular thing was for floral gums and jaw breakingly hard liquorice sticks. I rather liked troach drops too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medusa Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 What are these ? They're a variation on the theme of cough candy- if nobody up here has heard of them then I take it that they were a Brummie sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helbco Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 golden cups...a chocalate bar with caramel in the middle.....my fave!! Are you thinking of Mackintosh's Toffee Cups - about 4 inches long - chocolate with a runny toffee centre - my grandmother used to bring when she visited - tried to buy way back in 1982 but assume Mackintosh have merged with somebody else. and - yeah - bring back spangles. PS can you still buy polo mints "the mint with the hole"? Can you still buy other Mackintosh products: Rolos, and another one which I can't rmember the name - it was a long skinny packet with about 20 small chocolate cubes - with runny toffee and crunchy biscuit.???!!!
