Nutty Acorn Chocolate Eggs

love our cartoons?

They’re drawn especially for us by superstar cartoonist Colin Whittock.

He used to work on Whizzer and Chips - the comic that inspired the look of A Quarter Of...

His cartoons appear all over the website. Aren't they fab???

whatever happened to spangles?

One of our most requested sweets!

They had two types: one pack contained Assorted Fruit flavours and the other was Old English flavour.

They were also shaped a bit like Tunes with a circular dip on either side...

Sadly not even we can get hold of them anymore!
