Old fashioned sweets
9 Answers
My friend is trying to name and possibly buy (if possible) some sweets dating back approx 40 years.
This is their description:
Milk chocolate about 1 inch long shaped like an almond with nut pieces inside. They are thicker than a chocolate button but much thinner than say a Thornton's chocolate. They were bought in the West Midlands/Black Country area so don't know if they were limited to this part of the country or were available nationwide.
Can anyone help solve the mystery? They have asked in several old fashioned sweet shops but without success.

Like Maggiebee I think it's Crispets that you're thinking of. They actually had the name embossed (not sure that's the right word) on them. My family used to love them and a few years ago I ordered some for my mum from an on-line sweet shop, she said they were OK but not the same as she remembered them. Bring back the original Crispets, that's what I say!!
Came across this site. Don't know if these will help those looking for original Crispets
