Ah, the ’70s. A decade marked by bell-bottom jeans, disco fever, the roar of “Saturday Night Fever” in the cinemas, and the memorable theme tunes of “The Good Life” and “Fawlty Towers” emanating from our televisions. While John Travolta dazzled on the dance floor and John Cleese amused with his quirky hotel antics, for the children of that era, the real excitement was the annual ritual of trick or treating.
So, as Halloween looms on our calendar, let’s time-travel back to the decade of flared trousers, glam rock, and, of course, those unforgettable Halloween sweets. Ready for a trip down memory lane?

The Halloween Sweets Icons of the ’70s Remember when Black Jacks and Fruit Salads were the real treasures in a trick or treat bag? Those were the days when Candy cigarettes (oh, the horror now!) were cool and Spangles were the talk of the schoolyard. The memory of the Parma Violets’ unique taste, and that first fizz of a Flying Saucer, never truly fades. Dive deeper into the retro confectionery realm with Duncan’s extensive Halloween sweets collection, where nostalgia meets modern delights.

The Decadent Chocolate Delights While the likes of ABBA were crooning out “Mamma Mia” on our radios, kids were unwrapping the likes of Cadbury’s Aztec bars and Texan bars after a successful trick or treating evening. Dream of the golden chocolate age with our curated Halloween chocolate selection. A treat for both young and old souls!

Pick N Mix – The ’70s Candy Store Staples If there was one true candy star of the ’70s, it was the Pick N Mix section. Rows upon rows of jars filled with sherbet lemons, gobstoppers, and licorice sticks. For the ’70s kid, it was a sugary paradise. Relive the joy with Duncan’s Halloween Pick N Mix range.

Spooky Halloween Creations
As punk rock was taking the UK by storm and “Star Wars” was making its debut, children were munching on spooky candy versions of fingers, spiders, and eyes – though a bit more rudimentary compared to today’s confectionery artistry! Discover today’s eerie counterparts in our spooky Halloween candy sweets section. -
The Dawn of Vegan Delights While the ’70s might not have been known for its vegan offerings, the decade laid the groundwork for the dietary and ethical choices we embrace today. Fast forward to today, and Duncan’s offers an ‘exclusive’ line of Vegan Halloween Sweets, allowing everyone to celebrate with conscience and flavour!
A Final Note of Nostalgia:
The ’70s might have been an era of platform shoes and funky disco balls, but its candy legacy remains timeless. This Halloween, while we indulge in our favourite treats, let’s also take a moment to cherish the memories they invoke. After all, isn’t that the true magic of Halloween?
Step into the golden age of sweets with Duncan’s, and here’s wishing you a Halloween filled with delightful hauntings and the sweetest of memories!
