Jersey Caramels​

Who doesn’t love these classic treats? For many, Jersey Caramels bring back sweet memories of childhood—like discovering a few tucked away in Nan’s handbag, each piece a little treasure. The rich caramel aroma and that creamy, melt-in-your-mouth texture were simply unforgettable. Do they still taste just as you remember? Share your favourite memories with us here!

Use to often buy them, but haven’t bought them for a long time. I can remember the last time they were very very sweet. Maybe my taste buds have changed as I have got older!

Love them

Yes, I remember these caramels decorated the Christmas table.
I’m sure I always had a couple, along with everything else on the table.

Yes they do taste as good as I remember. Just bought some from eBay and they taste yummy. Just like I remember, got some Choo Choo bars and some cobbers as well. Haven't had them since I was going to school. So delicious. Have to be easy though cause I'm diabetic so should last me a couple of years.

No not that one BM....it was definitely "Jersey Toffee"....even had a moo cow on the wrapper. Back in mid-late '50s early '60s. Always used to buy them to take to Saturday arvo movies because they took so long to eat.

No I can't remember that one at present. Magpie1.Probably just my brain can't remember at present but will probably come to me later. I do remember the Choo Choo bar and the space bar. Can't remember seeing them again after about 60. Only found Choo Choo bar because I think it was Little boy let me know that it till existed a couple of months ago. But can't find the space bar. I got them through Catch and the cobbers and jersey caramels through eBay. Made my day when I got them delivered.

Sorry Magpie 1. Don't remember them. I was born in 1948. Maybe it's just me at the moment but don't remember them. Maybe I will later

 

[magpie1]

I was born in 1948

I was born in 1952....so we are talking the same era basically.

Yes we are but Magpie1 said these were out in 48 or early 50s. I was a little young to be going to the shop back then. We did live a fair way from the shops so we never got there much at all. My parents didn't have a car so my uncle or aunty took mum shopping. We stayed home with grandpa

That makes me 4 years older than you. But don't remember them. Was that in Victoria?
