I’m a BIG peach or pineapple Haribo fan but I’m currently addicted to this bag of what can only be crack cocaine. I’ve eaten FAR too many recently

Obviously forgot the picture from my sugar coma. Nerds gummy clusters. Delicious

I love jelly beans like Jelly Belly, ones that come in loads of different flavours.

coconuttyz · 02/02/2026 22:07

Giant Strawbs! 🍓 I think Haribo make them? I could honestly eat buckets of them!

Jelly Babies, or for a real treat milk bottles (but I only buy these from traditional sweet shops because packet ones are crap)

hugoagogo · 02/02/2026 22:07

Fruitella sticks, or tropical jelly tots.

Milk Teeth....the ones with icing sugar on

EdinaTheConfessor · 02/02/2026 22:10

All of them! I’m a huge fruity sweet fan.

Started writing a list of my favourites but genuinely can’t decide as I love them all.

I have had those nerd clusters they are nice.

Gingerbiscuitlover · 02/02/2026 22:11

Haribo Super Mix. Once I open the bag I can’t stop eating them especially the little milk bottles 😋

EdinaTheConfessor · 02/02/2026 22:13

You have just reminded me I have a bag of squishies love hearts downstairs that I had forgotten about. But I’m in bed and have brushed my teeth so I’d better not.

Chocolate eclairs (the toffees)
Fruit mentos
Butter mints

I was thinking earlier this week how much I'd like a 10 p mix up from the early 1980s, where you get ten different sweets and can spend ages choosing them.

My dad LOVES jelly beans! But he just grabs a handful and chews all together instead of each flavour individually. Fucking savage

Parma Violets! 🤩 And Love Hearts!

ItalianChineseIndianMexican · 02/02/2026 22:16

All of them! Love a sweet!

If I had to pick then maybe fruit mentos or skittles.

BarbaraVineFan · 02/02/2026 22:17

I like the cherry ones, and also cola bottles- normal or fizzy

wonderingwhatsnext · 02/02/2026 22:17

Lidl's fizzy worms must be coated with crack. Unfortunately they only sell them in a 400g bag so I limit myself to one bag a month.

Leafywool · 02/02/2026 22:18

Fini branded sweets are my favourite. They are soooooo good. Also the Nerds gummy clusters posted up thread are v delicious.

Arran2024 · 02/02/2026 22:19

M&S do a bag ofthe most amazing mixed toffee - Devon cream, salted caramel, chocolate and coffee (i throw the coffee ones away). Best toffee ever.

The red people are the best!

CarrieMoonbeams · 02/02/2026 22:22

I'm veggie so have to avoid a lot of the normal jelly sweets, but a 1kg bag of vegan 'sour and fizzy' jellies from Amazon is a fabulous thing.

HotChocCreamAndMarshmallows · 02/02/2026 22:23

These. Typically found in European supermarkets.

I have a craving now!!
