What sweets were your favourite when you were a child??

I liked spangles and also flying saucers when I was a child in the 1950's. At that time there were not many sweets around as rationing had just finished

My favorite is peanut butter eggs. It's sad that they are only on the shelves during Easter. And reese's cups just are no substitute.

I had loads of favourites. I liked the Blackjack Chews, Banana and Toffee Split, Rhubarb and Custard, Aniseed Balls, Milk Bottles, Cough Candy, and Spearmint Chews. You don't see a lot of those about these days, do you? I loved the loose sweets in the glass jars, and like you, bought them in two-ounce paper bags. Brightest Blessings.

My favorite sweets were and still are, ice cream. I love most kinds of it. That is why I don't keep it in the house very often because I would go way over board in eating it. I try to be careful about my sweets now. All through out high school, I was a size zero all through high school. So, I didn't really worry about how unhealthy it was. I have gained some weight since then and now have trouble getting the weight off. That's part of the reason I can't keep ice cream in the house.

I used to love those pips too, and rhubarb and custard sweets and sherbet and cherry lips, actually I just liked a lot of sweets! I have some rhubarb and custard soap at the minute and that smells so much like the sweet I am surprised I have not eaten it yet!! You can still buy some of the same sweets today, but in my opinion they just do not taste the same!

my favorite sweet was lollipop and a chocolate that only costs .50(php) cents = 0.0125 that time lol

I loved ALL sweets and that was a problem, to say the least!!

My father would always give me his change out of his pocket everyday. Usually about 2 dollars worth of change. I could buy a lot of candy back then. My favorite candy was bubble gum. I could chew ton of it.Needless to say I have lots of trouble with my teeth as an adult because of that. I also liked chocolate and got my share and more of that as a child.

any chocolates and any cake...

We hardly ever got sweets growing up. But I liked icecream and Dunkin Donuts donuts. I still love those.

I liked Pop Rocks and funny bones. My brother liked Big League Chew. I still like chocolate. But I am a chocolate snob. Cheap chocolate tastes harsh to me. I like dark chocolate - belgian chocolates and organic chocolate.

We had a little mom-n-pop store just around the corner all through my childhood:) They carried small boxes of small jaw breakers. I LOVED them! I could make a box last a week...lols Another item they carried were single pieces of licorice. I loved the black. It was so yummy. But my favorite sweet of all time was my grandmother's bananna moose! Bananna pudding, with sliced banannas, and tons of whipped topping...it was soooo good!

when I was young i wasn't allowed sweets very often. But occassionally we'd be allowed to choose ourselves 10 or 20 pence worth from the newsagents. That might not sound like very much now, but this was back when there were still halfpenny sweets! We'd be able to pick them ourselves & pop them in a little silver foil dish, then the newsagent would double check them & they'd go in a little white paper bag. they'd normally last all the way home & normally for the rest of the day too. The love of little individual sweeties has stayed with me, but it's not very often that you see a range of them on display any more where you can choose one of those and one of those. My favourite back in those days was a rather garish coloured pink & white foam mushroom. Today I'm still rathr keen on any of the jelly sweets that are covered in the sort of sour sugar that makes you go 'oooh!' & pucker up. You can buy whole bags of it as Haribou Sour Mix & I once age an enture bag at a sitting (stressful day at work) & all the chemicals must have shot straight into my bloodstream as my face went bright red & I glowed for the rest of the afternoon!

Hi Ruby When i was younger my mother would be always making something sweet..she wasn't a cook but she sure could bake and every get together she would be the one to bring the goodies. her fudge, lemon meringue pies and pastries were so popular, its a shame she didn't have a bakery! if i went to the store it was licorice(black) and anything chocolate..now its the same.

oh i dont have a sweet tooth, and i am not much attracted to candies and sweet stuffs, if they are in the fridge, i eat if i feel like eating them.. i am more of a "chips" person.. talk about loving junk foods! hehe i remember my brother and i would prepare a bag of sour cream and onions (lays) our favorite when we are to watch a wrestling match!

I liked all types of sweets, I didn't have a favorite. I liked cake ans cookies. The two sweets that I remember Really liking was chocolate cake with lemon frosting and pretzels dipped in vanilla ice cream.

My favorite sweets until now are cakes,donuts,candies,and ice cream and our very own ice delicacies during the summer.

My sweet of choice has to be Parma Violets. An odd taste I know- almost like eating perfume. But I loved them, I also rationed them to make them last longer. For those who don't know what Parma Violets are- they are a lovely fragrant type of hard candy. They are like little lilac coloured tablets and come wrapped in plastic. I imagine them to be the older more sophisticated sister of Love Hearts and Refreshers (which are made by the same company). Hmmmm I am now craving these lovely sweets, and luckily you can buy them online!

Dairy milk chocolate!!!
