Swinging Sixties Sweets
Discussion
Ok so its my Dad's 50th on Sunday, he doesn't want or need anything for his birthday, so I'm going to get him some sweets of his childhood as he has a very sweet tooth.
I've been looking through www.aquarterof.co.uk and they do a 60's box but it doesn't seem to contain any sweets that you can't get anymore. So are there any sweets of the 60's that you can't get more that are on aquarterof.
Thanks

If you really want to make the effort, make some sweets yourself.
As kids, we used to make our own fudge (no jokes please).
Ian Fleming’s original book Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is nothing like the film. What became ‘toot-sweets’ in the film was Monsieur Bonbon’s secret fudge recipe in the book. It came with the recipe in the back. I haven’t made it in years, but I remember it as the best fudge I ever tasted.
Perhaps it’s just the rosy tinted glasses of nostalgia, but now I feel the urge to make some.
The hardest part was leaving it to cool down; the times I burnt my mouth.
Going to the trouble of giving him sweets you have made yourself would probably mean more than anything, if you can find the recipe for something that was his favourite, but no longer available so much the better.
I don't know if I could still find the fudge recipe, but if you want it, I will have a look.

He got home made truffles and caramel shortbread as part of his christmas box it was just the idea of sweets you can't commonly find anymore. Thanks for the idea though.As kids, we used to make our own fudge (no jokes please).
