Curlywurlies may not be at the top of our confectionery of choice list, but, we still like to keep up with confectionery trends.
Our "problem" with said Curlywurlies is that they are almost impossible to eat with any sort of finesse without leaving a trail of chocolate bits everywhere. There is nothing worse than standing up after a chomping sess as Nigel calls a night on the confectionery, to see a cascade of chocolate pieces fall from your clothes on to the floor or find melted clumps on your clothes some time afterwards that clung on unnoticed ......... and don't get me started on melted bits on the sofa! Once Darrell, as a treat, decided to put a couple in the freezer for our delectation ....... that my friends turned out to be the ultimate chocolate nightmare scenario!
However, when we saw that Cadbury had bought out Curlywurly Squirlies it would have been very remiss and rude of us not to try them out. Nigel's first observation was that they looked like little chocolate worms/snakes, ideal for scary but tasty Halloween treats ........
....... but the biggest bonus was that they are small enough to pop in your mouth and enjoy in one go, well, except perhaps for Nigel, but he was well up for giving it a jolly good try in order to prevent any more melted chocolate catastrophes, bless him. So, it looks like the occasional Curlywurly Squirlie may make the occasion appearance on The Towers sofa, but I think I would still prefer it if Nigel, as a precaution, sits on a towel while he eats them ......... just in case!!!!!!

In one of his shows, Vic Reeves, in character, said something like:
'I don't stock Curlywurlys, I find them far too elaborate'
Don't mention curly wurlys, large or small to my fillings, they fall out at the very mention of toffee. JantheFan x
