Whatever happened to... Milk Chocolate Tools?
Milk Chocolate Tools
Hello, When I was little, about 15 years ago, we used to go to the local paper shop and buy penny sweets. We'd give the lady our 10p or 20p and choose sweets from under the counter one by one until we reached our limit.
My favourite sweets were milk chocolate tools. They were the same size as the white chocolate fish and chips but were brown milk chocolate and formed into workman's tools - hammer, wrench, screwdriver etc. Do you know what happened to these?
Thanks!!

Made by Sharps were done away with when taken over by Cadbury Trebor Bassett many years ago

I saw some chocolate tools in Lakeland near Wilmslow. They were in a box so you couldn't buy them loose, the saw, the spanner etc. were all in there. Probably taste nothing like how we remember them!

Chocolate tools were always my favourite sweets too (around 20 years ago now... eek!!). I'm sure they were 2p each originally and then they went up to 5p just before they disappeared forever. The saw was my all time favourite chocolate tool.
