Sour Sour jokers
It was the most sour sweet I have ever had in the whole world! I love sour things, I eat lemons like chocolate but those blew my mind. I wanna find some again!
Posted on November 28, 2004
I have been searching for these for as long as i can remember. Nothing has ever compared to them in terms of sourness. The sour flavour would last for ages. I often wonder if they were taken off the shelves because they were bad for health becaus eof high amounts acidic additives? Or perhaps they were too sour for people to eat!

Fizzbombs
You used to get orange, lemon, and raspberry ones. Bright yellow, orange and pink. They were round and had a rough sherbety coating on the outside. The raspberry ones are the best not bothered about the others. Used to get them in pick and mixes but not seen for a few years........

Yankee Taffy
They were available in various flavours. Boiled, rectangular shaped,flat, sweets. They were covered in sherbert and were quite sour to start but when the sherbert had gone they were nice and kind of "tart", thats how the lady described them to me! Gorgeous and I will love you if you find them for me!

yes-what happened to the callard bowser desert nougat with glace cherries covered in rice paper and sold in a long box form or tin ??? !!!!
I miss it !!!! It was the best nougat and to date I cannot find a replacement that is even close. All the nougat is no match. I tried many-only to be disappointed each time. My sisters have been doing the same in Aust, Malaysia and NZ.
why isn't callard & bowser making anymore of this lovely nougat ?

Beeches Chocolates
Beeches Chocolates are so special. As you open a box of Beeches continental chocolates, your sense of smell is met by the dark chocolate coverture that surpasses all other chocolates in this category.
The last time I came across these chocolates was in a small town called Clitheroe not far from where I live. They were a 1lb box and labelled "limited edition". They do all types of ranges - mint creams/ fruit creams etc etc including chocolate brazils....

Beeches also made Violet Creams which had a little crystalised violet piece on the top. Mum often talks of them, but I don't know if this firm is still in existance. If anyone knows, can you please let me know.
Cheers!

Beeches creams are just scrumptious! You can still get them!! a shop near to me sold them - but went in today to buy a box each of the orange and strawberry creams and they don't sell them anymore!!! If I want them I have to do a 80 mile round trip to my nearest Dobbies Garden Centre farm shop!!!!!

Sour tongues
They were long like a finger, but flat, were two colours. (purple, orange, or yellow, green, etc)they had the consistency like fizzy-coke bottles, but were thinner, and they were sour all over. The makers also introduced sour keys and then tiny sours, but these long ones were the best...are they to be found!!!

Posted by: steve francis on September 7, 2006
Ah Spangles, or in my old Junior School in New milton Hants, they were known to a select few pupils as Colemans candys, the Headmaster kept a jar of the sweets on his desk and would give one to each pupil sent to his office for being good, the rest of us went in for a stern talking to.

Nutty Bar
Think it was by Rowntree's, had a brown wrapper, yellow writing. It was a cyclindrical bar of peanuts bound together. a bit like the nut bars you can buy today but it wasn't flat and the nuts werent so tightly packed together - hence more flavour.

Chocolate Apple????
Small pieces of apple covered in chocolate, contained in a packet with a picture of a green apple on the front.
Posted on November 1, 2004
These I am sure were called 'Stroodles' made by Cadbury's. Can't remember if this is the correct spelling, but they were small pieces of apple covered in chocolate and in an apple shaped bag. I loved them. Advertised saying 'Oodles of Stroodles' or something like that!
Posted by: Madge on February 13, 2007
It is still made in the town of moffat and sold at the Moffat Toffee store in Moffat.
