These must have been around towards the end of the 60s `cos I can remember buying them at the Off License at the co-op and I wouldn’t have been allowed to go down the road on my own much before I was 6.
They were little circles of Galaxy, slightly domed on both sides – under half an inch across (smaller than a Cadbury’s button!) and maybe 3/10 of an inch deep, covered in something slightly shiny which made them less likely to melt in your hand – a bit like the plain Revels but lots smaller. They were seriously nice.
Any ideas what happened to them.

I remember these well. I used to buy them all the time but galaxy wont package them up on their own anymore.. apparently you can find them in packets of revels.. but not the same
I also tell my children about these sweets, I have no idea what happened to them but they were lovely! They must have been around late 60′s early 70′s.
From memory the closest taste I can find is Milky Way stars. Someone said they are like what you find in Revels but thats not the taste that I remember.
Galaxy bring them back!
My god thats what they were!
I have been racking my brains for ever!
I remember eating them when I was little in the early 80′s – the taste is something I still remember much creamier than buttons
We must lodge a campaign to Galaxy to bring them back!
My favourites sweets of all time! I remember eating them in 1978, just after Star Wars came out.
I remember the white packet with Animals on but couldn’t remember the name. Now I know. (I love the internet)
Have only ever met one other person who can remember them!
OMG! these were my favourite sweet of all time as a kid. used to cost 5p. i buy revels just to eat them ones…please please re-release them as the revels just arent quite the same.
same goes for treats, m&m versions dont taste as nice……
I’ve been asking people if they remember these for years, they were lovely! Don’t they still have them in bags of Revels?
I’d join a campaign to get them back
