White Candy Sticks, 1Kg

These sweets are delicious. They are just like when I was a child. I used to love a mix up and a packet of candy cigarettes. I would buy again.

These are exactly the gene-strong later generations candy sticks of my youth (perhaps they are a very little shorter, although I am a very little taller now)!Many reviews mention they're far too soft, almost greasy or mushy in texture. Alas, these reviews are written by folk who have hazier memories than they ought to. Those of us who remember buying a quarter from our local newsagents as children, ought to remember that they were stored and poured from tall jars which allowed the sticks room to breathe (and possibly party during closing hours).It is this air space that brings these candy sticks back to the consistency that we so fondly remember. That change in texture also slightly changes the flavour to a little less sicky sweet (much as the shape of chocolate affects its flavour due to speed of meltage, too). Although, if you eat too many (guilty) at once, it won't matter how hard or soft they are, ha ha!Stricter regulations and modern day costs of production mean we now receive these little batons of nostalgic joy in sealed plastic bags, so when you receive yours, I suggest you immediately open the bag and transfer them into a jar or box that will allow for circulation.I left mine out to air for a while, in hopes that it would help the oozy softness, which is how I worked out what was wrong. Dry them out a little, store correctly, and you will be taken back to days when penny and half penny sweets still existed, and not only was a Finger of Fudge good enough to give kids a treat, but so were glorious candy sticks.Do not frown upon these dear little sweeties, they only weep themselves into softness at the bad reviews left for them, in which they are castigated over the transportation vehicle chosen for them by their overlords. Poor things.Please, end their suffering by ordering and correctly storing, for in doing so, you will bring yourself great delights.I've ordered another bag. :o)

Got these to try as the ones we normally get (rarely) are hard to find. Not bad, harder than others, slightly brittle, a more subtle taste. Kids like them. Good for the price and will last ages, way better than buying the small boxes £/kg ratio. Will try a different brand next time.

This brings back k memories to my childhood. The flavour is exactly what I expected and they are really nice

These aren't like normal candy sticks. Very soft and not very nice :(

I’ve had many orders of these candy sticks, but the most recent have been far too soft, to the point of bending under their own weight. Please revert to the previous production specification 🙏🏻

Ate too many, lovely soft candy

takes me back to my youth. Yum
