Hand Crafted Fruit Rocks

Prettiness in a packet.

This is the last of the Chinese New Year goodies from my darling god daughter, Michelle. Yet another of the sweet offerings from Marks & Spencer, these pretty sweets are wonderful to look it; so cheery and sweet, and also good to eat.

You can tell right away what flavour this one is!

Featuring all-natural fruit flavours, the sweets come in blackcurrant, orange, pineapple and strawberry, and do not contain artificial colours and artificial flavouring. So what one gets is a lovely, chunky lolly with little centres shaped to resemble the fruit flavour of the particular sweet.

Each sweet is 145kJ in energy, making it not a very calorie-friendly suck, but the taste is satisfying, with one being enough to satisfy most sweet cravings.

One warning though: the sweets develop cracks and fissures as they are sucked and there is a very real possibility of gashing your tongue open or scraping the roof of your mouth when eating them!
