        Weekend box (chocolates by Mackintosh)

        Weekend box of chocolate and candies In the centre of the box would be the orange and lemon slices, there would be a chocolate lime one, a nougat one , a praline type thing. They came in a white box with bright colours on it.Made by Mackintosh - just like Quality Street, Highland Toffee bars and Rolo's

          Yes! I remember these!

          White box and all those pretty coloured candies and chocolates! A work of art really. And there was a square fudge wrapped in red with lots of little coloured printed squares on it?

          Dad would sometimes bring a box home .Was the stamped plastic holder for the sweets red instead of the standard browny/purple plastic?

          Go on, put your nose in an imaginary box and breathe in the smell? Delicious............

            Weekend - box of chocolates

            Does anybody remember a box of chocolates called Weekend - this would be in the early 70s, I always used to get a box off a certain auntie for my birthday - I remember they had sweets that looked liked lemons covered in sugary crystals - I didn't like them at all. No-one seems to remember these except me and my Mum.

                  Apologies for posting something already mentioned - haven't seen those chocs in years, brought back memories of the 70s (although didn't much care for the chocs) - have looked online before for photos but never found any.

                  Thanks for the replies folks.

                      The best thing about Weekend was the box. Boxes of chocolates generally are more about the look/anticipation rather than the substance.

                        I remember the week-end box of chocolates, one thing you have got to give them is that they were trying to be different from the usual box of choccies!

                            My mum and i used to share a box of these regulary. I remember the box had a white background and originally a picture of some of the contents in the middle. I used to love the green candy one which i think was a creme lime covered in a light sugary shell and chocolate lines on it. It's a pity that most choc boxes in the uk seem to consist of truffle or nuts only these days. Come back cherry brandy, fruit creams and softer fillings !

                              I remember these so well! My dad used to buy them for my babysitters in the late 60s/early 70s.
