I love anything liquorice especially these ones called lentils that I get at the local sweet shop (that has a huge selection of liquorice), they look like tootie frooties and have a crunchy shell which is raspberry flavour.

I'm also partial to a sherbet lemon and fruit flavour boiled sweets.

Dolly mix
Wine gums in the car (on occasion not all the time!)

Always have a bag of starmix on the go.
Love wine gums
Loved foamy mushrooms and pink and white squashy mice from the late 80s.( They not so nice now)

Bluemerchant - Tesco make quite a fine raspberry foamy mushroom, FYI

I love sweets. I have a secret stash. I have never stolen them off my three year old.

One of the above statements is a lie.

I had a sweetie table at my wedding, I told my dad off for snaffling all of the highland toffee bars, because I am the bride you know and because I was pregnant and the baby needed them.

blue55 · 03/05/2019 21:36

Flying saucers! I love them.
And pepper mints, the strong ones.

I also like liquorice and aniseed balls.

QuitMoaning · 03/05/2019 21:41

Oh, yes please to all of them.

My favourite was sweet teeth but they have changed and the ones now are not the same.
At work I keep spearmint chews (the office favourite) chocolate limes (divided opinion) and rhubarb and custard.

In front of me I have some Red Vines which start off tasting like medicine but are addictive.

Stravapalava · 03/05/2019 21:53

Strawberry bonbons
Dolly mixtures
Jelly tots

booksandcaffeine · 03/05/2019 21:57

Haribo Starmix, Fruit Pastilles or Jelly Babies.

MountainEagle · 03/05/2019 21:58

Lakrids by Bulow. Even if you don’t like licorice you must try theirs, it’s life changing. I like the chocolate coated ones.

hewontstopshitting · 03/05/2019 21:59

Wine Gums and Jelly tots, but I really have to be in the mood for wine bums. DH loves giant strawbs.

Figgygal · 03/05/2019 22:01

Milk bottles are my absolute favourite
Marshmallows
Drumstick squashies

Love a jelly sweet
Not bothered about chocolate so much

Still18atheart · 03/05/2019 22:02

I was discouraged to have sweets as a kid so now making up for it now Grin I try to curb it but haribo and gummy sweets are my go to. Also, a bit of a chocolateholic.

Still18atheart · 03/05/2019 22:02

Yy to drumstick lollipops

Pinkarsedfly · 03/05/2019 22:04

Fizzy cola bottles.

LaMarschallin · 03/05/2019 22:07

Love liquorice, especially the salty stuff you can get in IKEA
But my favourite sweets are Jelly Belly beans. Sadly, they really live up to their name...

WhatNowRandy · 03/05/2019 22:07

Mine would be salmiakki / salty liquorice, and it's probably just as well I can't get that from any of the shops I do my usual shopping in.

hartof · 03/05/2019 22:10

Love hearts, double lollies, drumsticks

Yoursilentface · 03/05/2019 22:11

Marshmallows - the flump type.
Skittles
Anything mint especially mint crumbles and peppermint creams
That soft liquorish (fruity ones)

Geekster1963 · 03/05/2019 22:15

You would love my local sweatshop WhatNowRandy they sell all types of liquorice including the salt ones. I had some skull shaped ones once and they were too salty, they even had salt inside them!

American Cream Soda Sherbet, not the rainbow crystals, but that is high on the likes list too, with a nice fruity lolly to dip into it.

Double lolly, in fact anything sherbety.

Jelly Belly beans.

Most sweets, actually!

CakeNinja · 03/05/2019 22:28

Most sweets Grin
Current favourites include drumstick squashy things and cola laces, fizzy and non.
