Have you tried these moose

Best vegan ones I have tried yet.

Kind of ironic that they're suitable for vegans, considering even the most rabid meat eater wouldn't dream of eating a kitten! They sell them in my local Superdrug, and much as I fancied sweets and I knew they're not real kittens, I just couldn't bring myself to do it.

Was it icing sugar? The powder never tasted that sweet to me :hmm:

It turns out it's milk powder.

I discovered this through the Power that is Google, and Yay!, That Power hath shown me the path into a webshop whereupon a man may buy a one Kg box of said teeth for Eight of Her Majesty's Pounds, and I hath grasped the shopkeeper to mine breast, and he shall give unto me such a feast!

Free P&P and all....

My absent teeth are evidence of my sweet adoration...but truly, those candy kittens are an abomination unworthy of being called a sweet...and certainly not a patch on Haribo Tangtastics. However, boiled sweets, especially if associated with fruit, are my summer option...and I now require an extra buttery addition to get me through winter. So yep, back on the Werthers (chewy variety). I abandoned Thorntons special toffee when teeth became precarious (although mine were post-carious by then). I am loyal to alphabet letters and best mints are Uncle Joes mint balls. I had a little epiphany when I discovered Vimto bon-bons too.
 
I got a bunch of fruit gums cause they were cheap and they're so chewy I can't actually destroy a packet in seconds like I can with other sweets.

Someone left a bag of liquorice allsorts open near me this afternoon. Not a fan but I practically inhaled them anyway. I need to stop eating sweets.
 
I like Parma violets and swizzles double lollies.

Also foam strawberries which are like marshmallows with red sugar in the outside.

I also like proper milk bottles - I thought that was cornflour on the outside.

And speaking of dust: Turkish delight.

Ummm. I’m not a fan of sour jellies except the cherries in tangfastic. I know they do packs just of the cherries, but that’s too much.

I like chocolate too.

It most definitely is, but where can you get it ? I've had some a colleague brought back from Stockholm but it's not desperately handy for Somerset

You can sometimes buy it in shops - I've bought it in Clas Ohlson before, but I don't think they have many shops in the UK. Presumably they do delivery though.

I've bought from a company called Scandinavian Kitchen before too.

It's amusing to take some into work and offer it to unsuspecting colleagues.
 
Those peanut shaped hard sucky sweets with bits of peanut in them. Mmmmm.

Last lot I had weren't as nutty as the used to be though.
