Ive grown up eating them, and my mouth waters with just the thought of eating them.
So glad they made them into a bar form for extra blackjack goodness!

Leaving school in the afternoon with 3d in my purse, getting off the bus a couple of stops early to go to the shop, buying 12 Blackjacks and enjoying every chew on the way home.
One of the great pleasures of sweetshops in the 1960’s!

I live in Chesterfield where Black Jacks used to be made and I so miss the fragrance of them drifting accross the town. I eat them to bring back memories of this and love it now you can get big ones.
