Treats before they become M&M's
6 Answers
Does anyone remember Treats (now M&M's - sort of) but not the ones in a yellow packet with nuts, the ones in a light blue packet with chewie stuff? Does anyone remember them or did I over do it with the Space Dust?

Treats were delicious and, in my opinion, a far superior version of the chocolate-covered peanut. When M&M's came to Britain, Treats died out. Terrible shame. It reminds me of VHS Vs Betamax - the better one didn't survive. Minstrels were already in existence. The threesome were Treats, Minstrels and Maltesers.
