more retro sweets.....

Yesterdays Gobstoppers reminded me of all my favourite sweets when I was a kid with just sixpence a week (old money !) pocket money.............


There was Dolly Mixture                  Flying Saucers full of fizzy sherbet     Proper Jelly Babies
tiny sweets you could make last      the outside tasted like "host"           (dusted with icing sugar)
a long time by eating them 1 by 1                                                         not like today's 'jelly' ones
                                                

Pear Drops with that strange artificial tang     A great combination chocolate+lime     Liquorice Comfits

 and my favourite out of  Liquorice Allsorts - Jelly Button Sprogs 

All these and loads more old favorites are available HERE
