Help... I need Lovells Milky Lunch or recipe to make own?!!

Hi everyone.

This is the first time I have posted so not not sure if this will appear in the right place?!

I am desperately searching for Lovells Milky Lunch Bars or a recipe to make my own variation for an 80th Birthday present for my Grandad, as I want to make up a candy bouquet.

However I cannot find either anywhere.... Please help me if you can!!!

Thank you

    I'll shift your thread to the Old Style board, if there is a recipe to be found, they will find it for you.

    My Mamma loved these! I used to get them from Bookers Cash and Carry, ask your local newsagent if they can get you some!

    Milky Lunch. Gawd, I haven't seen or eaten one in about 50 years. They were my favourite sweety-treat when I was a nipper. Tasted a bit like a Milky Way but more chewy. *wistful sigh*

    Thanks guys, I've tried Bookers, Costco, Makro, the Internet...still no luck! Lovells was brought by a Turkish confectioner so I have even tried online Turkish supermarket!!! I am on the brink of giving up, but it's the only good idea for a gift I've had so I'm going to keep searching until the last minute!!!!!

    If you'd like to try recreating them from scratch, this recipe comes well recommended (I've eaten the results, have yet to try making them)

  • You could try contacting this company http://www.mrsimmsoldesweetshoppe.co.uk/

    We have one of these shops in our local town and I have heard people in there asking them to get different things for them and they seemed to be able to.

    Sub with either golden syrup (treacle) or simple syrup (sugar dissolved in warm water to saturation point)

    OP, have you looked in Aldi or Lidl, they may do a similar bar. I know they have their own mars & snicker substitutes.
