Answers:
They are pre-sized candy wafers used for candy making and molding, and also for creating modeling chocolate (or as the Europeans say, "chocolate plastique") for covering cakes as a substitute for fondant!.

The Candy Melts brand is a Wilton brand, a long-running company, and the teacher of many bakers, here in the States!.

You can go to www!.wilton!.com and click on the online store to order Candy Melts, specifically !.!.!. I don't know if they ship to London or not!. As for the substitute, you didn't say what the recipe is, so I'm not sure!. If it's just chocolate candy making, melted chocolate will do!. It will harden back up in your molds!. As for chocolate plastique, Google Miche Turner--she used European methods--you can make plastique from scratch!.

--Edit--
I looked it up !.!.!. here is the distributor for Wilton in England!.
