Have I ever mentioned how much I love sweets? To be fair I probably haven’t dropped it in to conversation as my relationship with food has somewhat deteriorated lately but now that’s all changing and I’m pleased to say that sweet sugary goodness is firmly back on the menu! So it was quite timely really that Lolly’s Sweet Treats got in touch and offered to send me some samples of their wares. I’d have been foolish not to take up this chance, especially from a company that stocks retro favourites and packages them in seriously lovely glass jars!

Two jars were delivered to the door and packed full of some of my favourite confections. I have a real thing for liquorice so the heart shaped jar stuffed with giant liquorice comfits was pretty much heaven. Honestly if I could only eat one type of sweet for the rest of my life it would be liquorice, it probably comes from being spoilt when I was younger with all types of the black stuff by my Dutch relatives but yeah, I have a serious addiction.

The second item was possibly even more exciting. A giant bottle stuffed full of sweeties that remind me of going to the corner shop on the way home from school for a 10p mix up (showing my age here!). The bottle was literally rammed with sweets and chocolates and included some all time favourites like coconut mushrooms, icy cups, foam bananas and flying saucers- to name but a few!

Both jars came beautifully packaged and also well protected from the hands of the postal system and I’d love to receive one of these as a gift at any time! Products aren’t just limited to jars either so be sure to take a look at what else is on offer. Lolly’s Sweet Treats is supported by The Princes Trust and is certainly a shop to keep your eye (and sweet tooth) on with lots of exciting products soon to launch. I know for certain I’ll be placing several orders in the future…liqourice catherine wheels and some foam mushrooms are calling out to me as I type.

What’s your favourite retro sweet? Liquorice aside I don’t think I could narrow it down there are just so many I love (she says as the jar in front of her is rapidly going down)…
