Favorite "Limited Editions": Key Lime Almond Joys (lime flavored coconut coated with white chocolate), all chocolate Kit Kats, "Elvis" Reese's Peanut Butter Cups (half peanut butter, half banana cream).

Salvation is ar hand for Brits of a certain age - even ex-pats - they ship overseas.

I present the holy grail of "sweets you thought they'd stopped making".
Prepare to drool (between saying "Hey, I used to love those")

Fruit salads, blackjacks, milk bottles, even sweet tobacco!

The only faves I can't find from my youth are kali lumps (large pillow shaped lumps of rock hard sherbet) & mint cracknel (a bit weird to describe, like mint flavoured shards that looked like green fibreglass covered in chocolate. I understand they - or something similar - are still available in South Africa)

Lovell's Milky Lunch. Don't see it about now; but that was my favourite when I was a nipper.
