Favourite sweets as a child
I’ve always been a bit of a sweet fiend. When I was little, parents used to take me to the shop at the top of the street so I could buy sweets. They had all sorts. Sweets in tubs that you weighed out, penny sweets, lollypops. Well, it seemed like everything back then.
My favourite sweets were and still are:
- Voice tablets (or granny herbals)
- Parma violets
- Double dips
- Aniseed balls
- Dolly mixture
- Shrimps
When I see these sweets in the shop I get the urge to buy them as I’m filled with nostalgia! The only exception is the dolly mixture. I think I only liked them because of the name, haha.
Oh, Yorkshire mixture too! I loved the big fish boiled sweets in loads!

I’d agree with most your choices there! Can’t beat a good rhubarb and custard though!

Mine were push-pop lollies, love hearts, and jawbreakers! 🙂 Tania Michele xx

I will always choose cake over sweets but as a child humbugs had to be my favourite Lucy x

I think we have the opposite taste in sweets cos I can’t stand aniseed balls or parma violets! I loved jelly beans, sour cherries and jazzies though 🙂
