I had the same except cherry drops (much the same though, except marginally more disgusting). I really can't get that last one though...

I certainly did a lot better with these than with a certain other person's puzzles... :roll: Thanks Kathlyn!!

Weekend Assortment were made by Rowntree Macintosh, who were bought out by Nestle a few years back.
There was a lime green marzipan one with dark chocolate, also a round fudge that came in the red paper cup.

Laura, do know Otley at all? In the arcade opposite where Woolworths used to be there is an old fashioned sweet shop. Every kind of sweet you've ever eaten and all those you haven't too. Fudge and marzipan in whatever flavour you can think of, jar after jar, and then there are the trays :oops: .

well, I have actually been to oakham, but it was 2 1/2 years ago on a camping trip - may be a bit far for a one-off. Otley I know a bit, but not too well. I think, even for me, an hour and a half is too far to drive for fudge! Ah well. I just thought that if they were like mars bars and everywhere sold them, I might have been missing out!!!!
