Spangles were square boiled sweets, bought in a paper tube with individual sweets cellophane wrapped. They were manufactured by Mars Ltd in the United Kingdom up until the early-1980s, and were briefly re-introduced in 1995.
Spangles were available, among others, in red wrappers (fruit flavour) and black (liquorice) (known as Old English Spangles). There was also a mystery flavour variety where the wrappers had question marks on them.
Nowadays the Tunes brand is the only remaining relative of the Spangles brand, sharing the dimensions and wrapping of the original product.

Spangles were discontinued in the early eighties, and briefly reintroduced in 1995. There are many nostalgic refrences to them on Internet message boards from children who grew up with them in the sixties and seventies, now middle-aged.
Today the Tunes brand is the only remaining relative of the Spangles brand, sharing the shape and wrapping of the original product.

I think it was 1984. They were reintroduced in 1995. You could try asking Mars for a definite answer.
