Choc coins are a staple stocking filler loved by all kids in the family except DS who hates chocolate.

What novelty sweet can I get that s similar enough?

Mini bags of Christmas Haribo? They'll be in shops soon if not already.

the haribo are always popular but I was wondering if there was anything that doubles up as a 'toy' like the coins do - the kids do a bit of bartering with them!

Sugar mice if you can find them. I saw some in Bakewell on holiday, with proper tails and everything, but they seem to be an endangered species.

oh yes - they look good - although he won't get a chance to taste the liquorice if his dad is nearby!

Thanks for all suggestions - lots of options!

Haribo do a kind of coin I'm sure... they come in a roll rather than a bag though.
