Why ever did they discontinue ‘Treats’ (I think this is the proper spelling) and replace with those awful coloured coatings around peanuts. The old Treats were much better, wasn’t it something like ‘the sweet that doesn’t melt in your hand’ – a chocolate covered peanut but crunchy coating not like the bland chocolate covered peanuts of today.

I used to LOVE toffee treats, they were scrummy!!
i’m in agreement with eileen i think a petition to bring back “peanut treats ” is in order they were so much nicer that tose god awful m&m’s!!!!! i’d much rather have the creamier choclate anyday , so much more moorish, i could never stop with just one bag mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm peanut treats!!!!!!!!! made by rowntree…….

‘Treats, melt in your mouth, not in your hand’.
My fave sweet ever….have to make do with peanut m&ms now…
The nearest thing to Treats these days are peanut M&Ms, though I remember Treats being bigger and always available in big bags at the cinema (before multiplexes in the early 80′s)
