I'm not certain what you are saying Woolworths sold. I worked for them for 56 years in the 60's and I can't recall any such biscuits, but u might be right. Jacobs (for whom I worked after woolies)used to do a caramel half coated digestive biscuit I think. If you want something similar now then the solution is Gold bars which is like a Breakaway but with caramel rather than Milk chocolate. - Burton's Potato Puffs
Its really surprising the number of us that remember them from school tuck shops. Red and yellow packaging and only a few pence a bag. Nothing like them nowadays. Before their time Nibbets were popular for kids but not as special as Potato Puffs. I think the schools all got sold the idea of a 'tuck shop' by Burtons' van salesmen as a means to make a few extra funds for the school. The Burtons connection is probably why a number of writers remember their Wagon Wheels. I think Burtons did their own choc mallows too. Happy Days ! - Burton's Potato Puffs
i remember potato puffs from my 1960's school days when they were on sale in the 'tuck shop'. We only had plain ones in a red packet. they were like blistered pieces of lightly salted potato with a buttery taste. Of course the shop also did well selling Burton's wagon wheels too and Macdonalds chocolate marshmallows.
