Cola Cubes or Pear drops - enjoy both from the pick n mix at the cinema (where they also double as crowd control against unruly cinema goers!) :)

Mod by day...mod by night :p

I'm a lover of pear drops myself though they make me cough! What about humbugs?

Oh oh I quote like mint imperials too.

Could we interest you in some sugar free Gummy Bears? :D

I actually really like them. Have a thing for the Fruitella Sugar Free Fruit Gums at the moment too! (although obviously not hard). What is it with people shunning sugar free sweets? I have a permanent memory of the threats of the laxative effects of sugar free Polo's from school...

I've no problem with sweets being sugar free, as long as taste good, but this review is ingrained into everyone's nightmares :p

I was not previously aware of that, although I am man enough for the challenge! Also, why aren't Fisherman's Friends a sweet? They don't have any medicinal qualities and strike me as a glorified alternative to an Extra Strong mint or a XXX.

I don't mind Extra Strong Mints, but Fisherman's Friends just taste far too medical & yucky (medical term :p).

Make sure you store some books in the little room for something to read once you move in :D
 
Rhubarb & Custard are the best by far. Although too many boiled sweets make me feel like I've shredded the roof of my mouth. :D
 
hard boiled version of bonfire toffee, It has been so many years since i had them and i found a shop selling packs few weeks back was a trip down memory lane for me and new sweet for my kids to try
 
Its like when you get a coffee or liquorice (there are other dodgy 'Gourmet' beans too!) Jelly Bean! In a handful.

Do Jelly Beans count as hard sweetie??
