lectrolove   10 #5 Posted October 9, 2009 Sounds a bit like Cremes Parisiennes. Charbonnel et Walker make them and John Lewis sells them, at a price I might add. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
babybluejojo   10 #6 Posted October 9, 2009 you could always try the sweet shop near the Duke Street roundabout (the big roundabout near Ponds Forge) in Sheffield. They may be able to help you too - they have lots of sweets in that have been going for years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
