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.

I honestly don't care for sweets but I cannot resist chocolate. Asda do a nice bar of Peruvian chocolate at £1.50 for 100g. It's luvvvvvly.

I am addicted to marshmallows and fruit pastilles. And werthers originals because they remind me of butterscotch. I can't let myself buy them or I'd eat the bag full, and suffer from a massive sugar rush!

Yummy sweets from my past that are now difficult to get my hands on: fruit salads, spangles, sherbet lemons, toffee bonbons, barley sugar sticks. I love toffee but the chewinessis bad for my fillings. So sometimes I just buy a jar of good caramel sauce and eat it with a spoon Blush

Will have to namechange now Blush

Fizzy cherries
Double dips
Wham bars
Maoam stripes

Toffees. Waitrose own brand are lovely though like all toffee, has to be the right temperature so they are soft and chewy. I very rarely risk it though as my teeth are terrible and I have lots of fillings.

Also, vegetarian Percy pigs as a special treat when I am near a m&s with my children.

Mints...m&s butter mints my favourite

fleshmarketclose · 04/05/2019 07:19

I don't like chocolate but I love sweets. My current favourites are haribo rhubarb and custard, strawberry laces and those marshmallow mushrooms. I also like midget gems, coconut mushrooms and licorice allsorts.

Jaz32 · 04/05/2019 08:12

Refreshers chew bars and whams are good too.... fizzy fangs from Sainsbury's!

MongerTruffle · 04/05/2019 08:17

Plums in chocolate
They are incredibly expensive - £3 for 200g at Tesco.

RoseReally · 04/05/2019 08:21

I love sweets, but grew up on the continent and can't always find my favourites here! I sm pregnant and have been massively craving fizzy coke bottles, but all the oned I can find here are, well.. not very fizzy. Any recommendations of good brands?

beenhereages1 · 04/05/2019 09:48

@UnPocoLoco2 - how could you have never had a Percy pig?!

Jaz32 · 04/05/2019 09:52

I don't like Percy pigs 🐷
But I do like m&s Colin caterpillar!!

saywhatwhatnow · 04/05/2019 09:57

I usually hate sweets, I would always choose chocolate, but when I was pregnant I couldn't get enough of the watermelon flavoured jelly sweets from the Co-op Confused

BlondeBumshelll · 04/05/2019 10:04

Sweets are my biggest downfall when trying to lose weight. I've gotten in a terrible habit of eating a bag most nights.

Favs at the minute are:

Cinnamon chews
Bags of 'loadsa chews' especially the banana skids
Eclairs
And the 5p ones from the sweet shop like big cola bottles/keys.

AtleastitsnotMonday · 04/05/2019 19:16

No one has mentioned my favourite yet, so sherbet strawberries. Also like jelly beans , tooti fruities, love hearts and still miss fizzy jerks which were the best thing in the vending machine at school.

imamearcat · 04/05/2019 19:20

I love the pink and blue ones shaped like a cola bottle.

Al2O3 · 04/05/2019 19:21

Chocolate limes

TwittleBee · 04/05/2019 19:23

Omg yes to chocolate limes @Al2O3 ! Im the only one who eats them in the office when they get put into our communal sweet stash!
