Betta Bars

Betta Bars were a rectangular bar of some sort of puffed rice (Puffa Puffa Rice - remember that?) covered in a sweet syrupy coating. They used to sell these at our local outdoor swimming pool and were always a huge treat after thee weekly swimming trip, along with a hot Bovril to warm you up. I think they were made by Matlows, but I've not seen them for years.

Made by Swizzels Matlowand discontinued in the 1980's a real shame as they were such a delicious treat and filling too!!

I am so glad I didn't dream these! Where have they gone? I only knew 1 shop that sold them and I rode 3 miles to get them :)
