I found these whilst searching for a Cabana. (This could become an obsession)

I have been saying that for years, when you bite into it these days it's sort of brown and dry inside, in the old days it was a nice shiney black and had a much stronger taste.

Cadbury Secret bars, a nest of chocolate with a chocolate whipped mouse in the middle mmmm...
Used to love Wham bars and Buster toffee bars, the same size as Whams but treacle toffee on one side and plain toffee on the other

I haven't read all of this thread so this may have been said already...
I was in Glasgow last weekend and there's a great 'Sweetie Shop' in the Barras market that sells most of the type of sweets we've all been talking about. There's also a great website that stocks them all (is that allowed?) - ah, childhood memories :P

Love Hearts,
Why has nobody mentioned "Love Hearts"? I wanted to wrap up a tube for Tom at one of our first Christmases and I couldn't find one anywhere. So disappointed.
