Hey all,
Need to find the name of a packet of sweets from about 5 or 6 years ago,
It's a roll of chocolate sweets similar to rolo but a longer packet with a gold wrapper, I think it's starts with an "M"...They were an expensive packet about €1 or more...

Thanks

Oh God.. My OH is obsessed with these. They can still be bought I just can't recall the name!! It's going to drive me mental.

Are they almost like Werther originals shaped but thinner? With a dip in the centre?!

But was it just chocolate the OP meant or were they chocolate covered toffee/caramel like rolo?

You absolute star. My head was flipping WRECKED thinking about it. Even made several calls to no avail!
They are super tasty, OP never mentioned caramel but when I mentioned the words chocolate, roll and dipped centre , everyone's reply was "rolo?" :P

Nah twas just the OP said 'chocolate sweets like rolo' so I wasn't sure if they just meant that shape/size or meant similar style of sweet

Delighted I live no where near Ikea! :P

That's them!
I'm not even a big fan of them but once it got mentioned, it was tormenting me! They still sell them in the little sweet shop in my home town.

Thanks

Glad you found what you were looking for Shona_0323!


And, a little off topic but is there a reason why people keep pimping that sweet website?!
Nearly every candy thread I go into has someone plugging that site.
Give it a rest?!

Well I found it as I was looking for stuff myself a while ago. Its an Irish site, This is boards.IE not .CO.UK so what's wrong if people get what they want?

If you read the scant handful of posts before you made yours, you'd have seen that someone already posted that link.

Don't believe I ever protested people promoting Irish sites either, just nearly all of your posts are dedicated to plugging that site.

They have them under the "chocolate" link on www.pennyjellies.com

25% of your posts mention that website. Do not post about it again or I'll have to assume that you're shilling and a ban will result.
