I was having a conversation with my wife about sweets we used to like when we were children. i can distinctly remeber one that i cant recall the name of. It was similar to a flake in shape and was mint. It was quite crunchy and the flakes were very spikey. Ring any bells??

When you were children? Are we talking 1920's here, or 1980's?
