Help me find the name or this childhood sweet....I got cravings for it

Thread Starter: George    Started: Fri 13 May 2005    Replies: 16

I hope someone or one of you may be able to help me find or remember what this old sweet is I am going to describe.
These chocolate covered sweets used to be sold in jars and you would buy them by the quarter, they were about the size of a bon bon but not perfectly formed all odd shapes, they were chocolate covered with a soft chocolatey centre and these were sold along side the chocolate licko and chocolate nibbles, you could say they were a bigger version of chocolate nibbles but not called chocolate nibbles....I have a craving for these as I have not had them for years and I hope someone remembers them, I have trawled through lots of nostalgic sweet websites which sell old sweets but cannot find this sweet so I hope one of you remember them....ta for all your help an suggestions Big Grin
