Oooh clever Mike, I never gave that a thought before.

I've been watching the six nations with a bar of chocolate at my side it's half gone

We're watching the darts with a packet of Jaffa cakes and they're nearly gone too

I love marzipan. Will buy Ritter marzipan bars when I can get hold of them.

Re: confection

My son and I enjoy halva ... I just bought him a few bars as part of his birthday present. I meant to have kept one back for myself and forgot
I love marzipan too I've treated us to a Battenberg cake for our tea tomorrow (guess who will eat most of it?)

Re: confection

Ooh, I like halva too. You can't beat sticky overly sweet snacks can you? Can't stand Battenberg cake though as I don't like sponge.

Rowntrees Fruit Bottles! Yum!

Re: confection

I love jelly beans, especially those 'posh' ones. The advantage of these is that the individual flavours are so intense you can eat them one at a time and slowly enjoy.

I used to love Terry's All Gold, but have found that these, along with most so called assortments nowadays, have gone the 'all centres the same, merely a slight variation on brown 'gack'. None of the excellent flavours, colours and textures they used to have.

Re: confection

I'm always buying these. Aren't they delicious? And then you get the horrible black one...bleughk!

Re: confection

I discovered recently that Lindt no longer make the one with cherry liquid filling. The shop in Canterbury is now on FB and I asked them. Very disappointed.

Re: confection

My favourite are the punk grapefruit ones. When I lived in Shropshire would occasionally visit the indoor market in Telford, there was a sweetie stall which sold 500gm bags of just the pink ones, ohhhhh heaven!
