CHOC STIX - 1960'S

These sweets were popular when I was primary school age in the mid 60's. Most newsagents and confectioners in Dundee had them.
The twisted rope part was made of hard toffee and the centre was filled with chocolate all it's length. They were good value for money because of how big they were, (the full size of a sweet jar), which meant they lasted ages, like a stick of rock.

    1. Know what you mean. I have tried so many times to describe these sweets to people, I felt that I was the only one remembering them. Let's hope we see them in our shops again Soooon

  5. Loved them - even Mr. Simms doesn't stock them, so they've completely disappeared. They were always in a jar next to the tall barley sugar sticks in our local sweetshop.

  31. My grandma had a shop when I was young and she sold loads of Choc stick and Barley sugar sticks. One day a little girl asked for a barley sugar stick and my gran got a but tongue tied and called it a sharley bugar stick and the little girl told her she'd said a naughty word.
