All that have been mentioned plus Banjo bars.

I was terrible for sweets at xmas I used to lift the presents out of my sack to get to the sweets at the bottom 1st!!

We once had chocolate xmas tree decorations that were shaped and then the foil wrapper had a picture on. there was 1 that was a Golli like on the jam jars, me and my  sisters all wanted that 1, so determined it was mine I sneaked down in the night carefully unwrapped it ate the chocolate and then put the empty wrapper back on the tree (I was only about 6 at the time)  

My dad always says that when I was little and playing outside if anyone had offered me sweets I would have been off, my response is what do you mean when I was little, I still would (a bit much at 48!!) :D

LOL Diane, made me chuckle.

Does anyone remember the bars of Milk Tray chocolate, it used to have a lime barrel one at the end. Always was trying to get my Mam to give me that square. Don't know why they discontinued making the bar and that one chocolate first,it was the best one there!:D
