Re: A trip down memory lane

Well another Christmas has come and gone. Soon another year will have passed. Do others here feel as I.. that every year seems to pass quicker than the last?

Don't think I have come across anything made by Darrell Lea either. Maybe it is sold in specialist shops over here?

Re: A trip down memory lane

Evidently it is sold there.

"Darrell Lea sells 14,000 tons of confectionery every year in Australia, the United States, Canada and Britain". This was printed in the Sydney Herald in Jan this year.

Never heard of it

Re: A trip down memory lane

i wasn't that fussy about sweets and chocolate when growing up, but chocolate was my confectionary of choice. I don't think i had a favourite, though those of a certain age may recall aztec bars. I remember liking them a lot, but can now remember little about what they were like.

nougat,raisins i think.

Cinder toffee is nice ... there's a mill near us sells all mane of things and there's an old fashioned toffee / sweet where they make their own old time toffees like Cinder toffee etc ... you can watch them making it as one wall is all glass !
There are tubs of free samples on the side all damaged/ imperfect.

I love Crunchie bars

Re: A trip down memory lane

Ok DYRers what was your fav confectionery growing up. You may or may not have read this account of my school days. But we were forbade lollies or chocolates by our draconian masters. My older brother was a a prefect in senior school so on Picture Nites he would arrange to have a huge bag of lollies transported to me surrepticiously. God help anyone who did not do as he said as he would put them on detention. Many boys, not including me as I was a chicken, would go awol down to the lollie shop in a nearby village. They risked severe detention if found out.

Sorry to digress. in those days we ate mostly boiled lollies but when I left school my horizons broadened considerably. I made up for my days of sweet tooth deprivation with all types of goodies. Did you have these in the UK?
