Jargonel pears and pineapple rock.
Rosey apples are nice as are army and navy.
Those yellow snakes with the gummy top are tasty. Fruit caramels.

Sweet Peanuts
Sherbet pips - although they don't taste like they used to
Pear drops - but only if they are the massive half pink, half yellow ones - NOT the hideous ones covered in sugar

We have a few businesses round here selling pic n mix £10 for a kilo.
Anyone who can't find one locally and is willing to pay delivery I'd recommend honey bee sweet shop on Facebook. They are amazing and you choose what you want. ( not me, not my shop, I've just used them a fair bit). 🍬

Am loving this thread - my husband owns a sweet shop! Luckily I'm not a big fan of sweets otherwise I'd be the size of a house Grin

Lockdownshmockdown · 19/01/2021 20:03

This thread is making me think of the Simpsons episode where they go to the candy convention.

Previous thread was about buying pick n mix safely online

There a few businesses recommended

I'm less inclined to order from the locals on Facebook who look like they are doing everything from home but thiscandy is in a local town so it's still a fairly local business for us

My DF owns a cake shop abs refuses to bring home cake too often because he thinks my Mum eats too much cake Grin

I also like those soft candy sticks that you'd get to weight out. Does anyone know the ones?

I haven't had salted licorice...

I like most hard sweets like cola cubes and yorkshire mixtures too. I also like a Murray mint!

I love those long cables with the cream inside. The apple one was my favourite.
