I think Jap Desserts were made by Lion. I last saw them around 1980 What happened to Roocrofts Nut Milk Cubes ? Roocrofts Truffles (the best ever made I reckon) Roocrofts Tics – black liquorice shrapnel in a tin Also is Moorhouses – of invalid butter toffee fame still going ?
What Were They Called?
I have a question about a sweet that i loved as a child. I do not know what it is called or the manufacturer…. (great help i know) All i can do is describe it: It was a “Pink Lolly” (that’s what i called it) It was not hard like a fruit pop it was [...]
Hi I see you have a toffee crumble (nibs) but i’m not sure if its the same thing or whether its different to chocolate nibs? I looks similer but if my memory serves me right chocolate nibs was abit more powdery? Thanks Dan
Hi,I have a friend here in Australia who is trying to track down the name of a sweet he used to have in the 1960s in the UK- something he thinks was called ‘sticky lice’ (not sure of spelling). Do you have anything that sounds like this? Thank you Regards, Colleen

Milk Tray bar is still available in Aus – known as the snack bar – not to be confused with our version of shortcake biscuit type of snack bar – do you know if the mint cinder toffee covered in chocolate from the 70′s is still made – can’t locate it? I thought/may be wrong [...]
For years I have been trying to remember one of my favourite sweets from my childhood in the early to mid 70′s. If my mind serves me correctly, they came in a bag like Tooty Frooties, were small and round (about the size of malteesers), were hollow and sugary, with an outside like a moon [...]

If I’m thinking of the same thing, we used to call them golf balls, although from what I recall, they used to come individually and were an essential part of a 10p mix.
