Swizzels Matlow Barley Sugar Sweets (1 x 3 kg)

I love this candy. It reminds me of the Botan rice candy flavor and I love it too. Anyway, this is the second time I’ve ordered 3 kg oh well. You only go around once. I try and keep it to a minimum, I mean my consumption of this delicious candy.

Just like the ones I ate when I was a child

The order arrived in the time frame that was indicated and I could track the transportation of the package. The bag at 3kgs is most abundant and each candy is well wrapped individually. I would call these "light" Barley Sugars. Compared to the ones I can buy when in the UK, these are weak in both colour and flavour. Instead of a rich amber colour, the Swizzels/Matlow are very pale. The flavour is also weak. Don't get me wrong, the candies are pleasant enough, but the intensity of the flavour is missing.

I have been looking for barley sugar sweets for ages. Alas not available in the supermarkets, pound shops and other shops where I looked & thought they might be there. Then I thought Amazon might have them & voila. I bought these not expecting much for such a reasonable price for 3KG but in all honestly these are great. Taste to me exactly like how a traditional barley sugar sweet should and as I remember them. The 3KG bag is massive and will last us a long time.

Was dubious, but when feeling sick yesterday I sucked one and felt fine, Delicious and taste just like they did 60 odd years ago, wow something that havnt change is great, price is unbelievable for the amount you get, Thank you.

Glad to find these, it's a pity sweets like this seem to have all but disappeared from the shops. Anyway the 3kg I have now might last a couple of weeks..

Like the taste
