Popping candy came out in the 70s. Space dust. It was grim back then.

[Edith Bacon]

Popping Candy (Space Dust) was thing when I was a kid and I am almost 54

I’m always surprised at the number of otherwise excellent restaurants that include it in desserts.

[Estrella]

I loved space dust. And that marvellous creations popping candy chocolate that was around about 10 years ago too.

[H1ppychick]

Me too, Estrella. I particularly liked the orange flavour space dust.

[Pippedydeadeye]

That chef with the awful hair liked to use it a lot, didn’t he? As though it was something fancy.

[Princess Morripov]

I bought a couple of the banoffee ones the other week, as I also couldn't justify the ruining of the cherry with the popping candy. I thought the banoffee was quite nice, but I haven't eaten chocolate for ages* so my standards may have lowered.

I have discovered the M&S tiffin and salted caramel millionaires shortbread and need to immediately forget about them

*not for any particular reason, I'm just more about the crisp.

I like popping candy in a chocolate bar. It really works.

[Luna]

I do like the marvellous creations it has to be said.

Oh, I know that, I just mean it was a Thing in restaurants etc a decade or so ago.

[Luna]

Yes, it made an inexplicable resurgence

[H1ppychick]

I have high hopes for these, just purchased in Coop on offer. They will be going into my stash and we will see how long I can resist them.

[Kenickie]

Oh cherry Jaffa cakes will be amazing!

[Luna]

Haribo Squidglets.

Oh dear..

[Montana]

I was disappointed by cherry jaffa cakes which is surprising as I love cherry flavoured things usually. The passion fruit ones were amazing though. I think they might have been limited edition though.

[H1ppychick]

I was disappointed by them too, Montana. The cherry ones you get in LIDL when they're doing Polish food week are much superior.

[Cazza]

I was disappointed by them too, Montana. The cherry ones you get in LIDL when they're doing Polish food week are much superior.

Good to know. Thanks!

[Heebie Jeebie]

Oh those Lidl cherry jaffa cakes are amazing. So are the raspberry ones.

[Disco]

I used to love those Pimms cherry with white chocolate‘Jaffa cakes’.

[Ella77]

So did I!
