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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

Yes, it made an inexplicable resurgence

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.

Oh cherry Jaffa cakes will be amazing!

Haribo Squidglets.

Oh dear..

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.

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!

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

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

So did I!
