                Oh Joe, I remember the Pixie toffee bar, chocolate flavored, lovely, I also remember cough no more, sailors chew, there was one with coconut in, hat coconut. I also remember honeybee sweets, lozenges, nancy balls, lucky lumps, drumsticks, fizz bags, cream pies, my favorite, oh now I'm back in Finglas with me younger hanging out, outside Kelly's sweet shop!Sorry for hijacking your thread Spongebob!

                    A pixie in my day was a nitted wollen hat that covered the ears and was tied around the chin.
                    I google because I'm not young enough to know everything.

                      There was a shop on Eden quay, skeffingtons? They sold those kind of things, broken kit kat, chocolate covered dates, mis shapes, iced caramels etc, I loved the cindery crunchy too, and the marshmallow mice! Lol

                        Yes I remember The Pixie, it was on Upper Clanbrassil Street (no.45 or 46) heading up to Harolds Cross Bridge, closed down late 70's early 80's, I was only young and rarely had money for sweets etc.... so not a lot of info on the owners...
