Senior Citizens!....Have you a favourite sweet or toffee?. Naturally I love "Tyne Mints"...?

I used to make them with my Dear Old Mum, very sweet, but to a kid in the fifties, heaven!

I love black and white mints but I'm not referring to Everton Mints which many shops (where I live now) try to offer me. I refer to sweets which look like liquorice allsorts (the white-black-white-black-white sandwich one) except that the white part is mint flavoured in black and white mints. The black is still liquorice of course.

I only seem to be able to buy them in Yorkshire. I wonder why that is. Additionally I like fudge, any kind, but especially the one which looks very dry and just melts in your mouth almost immediately.

There are many kinds of fudge but that particular one I could eat until I'm sick (what a terrible admission to make! ). EDIT I almost forgot about the Pontefract Cakes - liquorice again of course.

What would like be like without liquorice and fudge ey! We also used to call sweets 'spice' - well my grandfather and my dad did. I must just be a Yorkshire thing I think.

I used to buy jesmona old fashioned Black Bullets by the bucket load, (slight exaggeration) as they came in a tin. Loved them, and still get them when I have a valid passport and can travel North of Watford. When there are no Black Bullets in my tin, I make do with Yorkshire Mixture from Morrison's.

I still love boiled sweets, but they do ruin our teeth, May be that's why I have dentures! :) PS a bullet is the Geordie word for a sweet, in Yorkshire we called sweets 'spice.

For those unfamiliar with Black Bullets go to maxons.co.uk/jesmona.htm.

My favorite sweets are: my wife and my granddaughter. I am diabetic and the two sweets I mentioned are good for my health. Sugary products are not unless I could eat them in moderation.

I can't. Before I was diagnosed with diabetes, my life motto was: There is no such thing as a single piece of chocolate! If I knew I had but one day to live, it would be a day filled with dark chocolate!

The old Callard & Bowser rum toffees. Banana toffee. Raspberry Ruffles.

Apple tarts. Aniseed balls. Nougat.Butterscotch.Topics.

Basically,any of the sweets you'd find in the 1960's.

I used to love Thornton's toffee but I can't eat it now. It pulls out my fillings lol. I do like soft centres now - orange creme is my favourite, but I also like strawberry and the coconut ones or mint.

Not into sweets and toffees, but I sometimes buy dark chocolate with chili. Fantastic! Try it.

I love digestives and altoids but need to take care and not have too many per day.

My favorite sweets are the ones I bake for the Christmas season and share with our animal rescue group.

Gosh you "kids" have such great sound treats..mine are so plain..m&m candies are mine.

Heath bars Peanut butter logs Maple nut goodies.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
