Guest Shirley_Crabtree Posted September 18, 2003 Report Share Posted September 18, 2003 I used to buy these sweets loose.They are toffee in the centre coated with chocolate.They sometimes used to stick together in the bag and present a bonus,golf-ball sized treat :D What were they called though?They looked a bit like this(1:1 scale natch ;) )Cheers.Shirl.

Boris Posted September 18, 2003 Report Share Posted September 18, 2003 In proper boxes - they were Paynes Poppets/Toffets ???Down south, they were just the same sweet when sold loose, but cheaper - and seemed to be a bit mis-shapen in the jar ?

Guest Shirley_Crabtree Posted September 18, 2003 Report Share Posted September 18, 2003 Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm...I've been thinking about this all night...Are they call chewing nuts or chewy nuts or something like that?Cheers.Shirl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted September 19, 2003 Report Share Posted September 19, 2003 Chewy nuts are the same size - but with a flat bit at the bottom and the chocolate is not smooth but rough finished.In fact Shirl, they're exactly like your piece of artwork !Hidden talents ? :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
