Couldn't get away with it myself but my dad used to eat a fair amount of the Fry's version.

I could never find it anywhere in recent years so used to bring caseloads back from Greece when I regularly holidayed there

I used to like them Navy blue tubs with the biscuit sticks and a chocolate dip.
Used to be class dipping ya finger in to rake every last bit of dip out after ya'd finished the sticks.
In other news, I bought a multipack of Dairylea Dunkers in Sainsbury's last week for the first time in years. Still lush. Gotta be the ones with the herby tubes though. Plain breadstick ones were naff.

Raisin Poppets were class.
I'm sure there was a hard to find variety that was a mix of peanut and raisins. They were class.
Used to get em in Wheatley's up Houghton. Wharra shop that was.
Aye, rank. The anly kets me mam could get that I was guaranteed not to nick.

I'd usually buy those little blister packs of Nutella to supplement for the miserly bit of chocolate you got in those. Always felt cheated with Choc Dips.See edit.

Used to be some large toffee sweets for about 10p a pack, think it was called Highland Toffee.
Went out of business a few years later I think, must have been the cause for a fair few dentist trips mind!
Could eat the syrup by the spoon, easily.

Fairly sure you can still get choc dips in the shops like.
I used to love these when I was young - would have sandwiches with the syrup as the filling when I was a kid.

Are those the American ones? I bought them in Tesco a year or so ago and loved them but couldn’t find them again.
