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.
Does anybody remember who made the choc stix ?

ReplyDeleteI loved these! I didn't think I'd ever see one again ... just seeing the photo makes me my mouth water!
ReplyDeleteKnow 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
DeleteMe too I've been looking for years as I forgot what they called them.i wish they would bring them back i loved calling at the village sweet shop coming home from school
DeleteLoved 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.
ReplyDeleteYes they werd

DeleteBeen looking for these for ages, hubbys favourite but unobtainable so far, a bit like Smedleys cook your own sausage rolls in a tin !

ReplyDeleteLiz I so agree with you
DeleteOh my! I never thought I'd see one of these ever again. These were my favourites. Definitely petition time! I would buy these every day!
ReplyDeleteMe too, loved choc stix wish I knew where to get them.
ReplyDeleteCan I still buy choc sticks
ReplyDeleteWhat a surprise to find all these choc stix fans! I adored them, such good value for money too, lasted ages. Happy days - teeth paying for it now though!
ReplyDeleteSo relieved I’ve found this! Been trying to describe to my husband, who’s had no idea what I’m on about!! Remember buying these in the 60s!!
ReplyDeleteOooh......Used to love those Chocstix, still talk about them now to my (adult) kids, have always missed them.
ReplyDeleteCan You Still Buy Choc Stix
ReplyDeleteNo I don't think anybody makes them anymore. In fact I don't even recall seeing them in the 70's.
ReplyDeleteI would be up to petitioning to bring them back 🙏
ReplyDeleteMy favourite too
ReplyDeleteI support that I’m 70 years old and remember them like yesterday special the crinkle orange paper
ReplyDeleteCant believe that I havent googled this till now. I have looked in every old fashioned sweet shop I have been in. I can clise my eyes and taste it. I would definately buy them if they made them again.
ReplyDeleteMy 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.
ReplyDeleteI used to buy these in the 1960's. I loved them. They were usually found in the sweet shop next to the tall barley sugar twists in a tall glass jar. Same length as the barley sugar twists.
ReplyDeleteLove these best sweet ever in the 60,s
DeleteI used to absolutely love these! Over the years I've tried describing them to people but no-one had ever heard of them. Even people I grew up with. I was beginning to think I'd imagined them! If these were still made I'd order enough to last me the rest of my life...lol
ReplyDeleteThought the wife and I were the only two people who remembered these , come on Trebor start producing these gems again
ReplyDeleteThank you all, I remember them from when I was in primary school too. They sold them in a jar in the pharmacy though not in a sweet shop, next to the jar of barley sugar sticks. Such a lovely memory, they were gorgeous!??
