I used to buy them from Big W, and remember them being available many years before this from other stores.
They were like a boiled lolly (aka bonbon?), each came in a single colour, but there were different colours/flavours mixed in the bag.
There was a word embossed into the front (& possibly back) surface of each. Paper wrapping. Photo
Thanks, had the picture, but not the thread.
I don't remember them having 'PASCALL' embossed on the surface though. The wording was different.

I remember these, they were hard on the outside by chewy when you bit into them.
I loved these - very much a treat when staying with grandparents.
I 'member!
Weren't they around in the 70's?
I am wondering if the ones I remember (and also later got in BigW, were Haribo brand?
I remember the outside bag looking a little like the Haribo Goldbears (that I think BIGW still sell).
There was also https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bassetts-Fruit-Bonbons-Bag-Pack/dp/… but I dunno if that is a bear or why it has a headband.
I’ve always called them ‘Fruit bon bons’
Pascals is not the only maker.
These things were horrific as a child. Up there with the hard candy grandma used to have in the glass jar.
Yep, definitely a Nanna lolly
Remember the toffees at school fetes. You needy a Kango hammer to break thme.
I only remember them cos they were the ones always left over
Yup remember them, no idea where you buy them or if they still exist.
Yup, went through a packet or three in the day - hard outside and then a semi-soft centre. Were ok but nothing spesh.
Pascal Bon Bons, IIRC.
Based on your pic, i'm guessing you've already seen the reddit thread
