Whatever happened to... Matinee assortment?

Matinee selection or empire mix

They were multi-coloured marzipan sweets with the odd fondant included. Some of the sweets had a firm jelly in them.

Matinee selection

A selection of various coloured marzipan squares. Jelly were included and I seem to recal maybe another sweet but can not bring it to mind.
Each of the marzipans was (approx) 2" square, and I am sure that is not just memory playing tricks.

Matinee assortment

Marzipan sweets, each one almost a work of art, quite expensive....

I dream of those sweets. I would buy pounds of them if I could and lock myself away and scoff lots. The fondants can be bought in Lakeland shop.Creme Parisienne or something like that, but those are not the best ones. The strawberries were the best. Harrods marzipan fruits not nearly as good. And the last time I bought 10 sweets it cost£8!
