Am I the only person alive who remembers NAVY FRUITS?. I can see them now in the window of miss days'shop at the corner of Water st and Beacon st opposite st Stephens' school Wolverhampton' they were a fruit flavoured boiled sweet in a roll about the same size as polo mints. i think they just may have also had a hole in them like polo's but after 50+ years it 's really hard to be certain.

Crispets - I used to fight with my dad over these - loved them. Then went into a shop to get them years ago and was told they were no longer made but that coconut macaroons were the next best thing - they are good but no where near as good as crispets.
Also love jap desserts and as I can't find them to buy on their own I'll buy dolly mixtures for the kids and steal the japs desserts out of them.

Re CRISPETS
These were first called nutbits, then became crispets, i used to buy them by the quater in the local shop, i didnt see them for ages and went back to that shop to ask about 9 years ago, I was told they had stopped making them and wouldnt be making anymore. They had a full jar left so i bought the lot..only lasted a week tho!! Coconut macaroons have a similar flavour.

I think I remember the sweets you're talking about...but they didn't have chocolate on them. They were flat and oval shaped, light brown in colour and very crumbly to eat...can't remember what they were called though!! It's really bugging me.....! I'll let you know if I think of it. These were kind of coconutty (!) though, so maybe not the same. Had fine sugar on the outside
