Chocolate Brownie Cupcakes - All hail the mighty Chocolate Brownie! Hard-boiled sweetie versions of the (we think) most delicious pudding on earth. And in the middle? Chewy chocolatey loveliness of course.... what could be better (apart from a warm Chocolate Brownie with ice cream perhaps)? - Qty In Order: A quarter of a kilogram - just over 8.8 ounces
Dolly Mixtures - If you want to jump into a great big bag of nostalgia, then get yourself a quarter of Dolly Mixtures! They`re so delicious, and so pretty, and did you know that they`ve been around since at least the 1920s... Anorak time - according to the Oxford English Dictionary, a dolly mixture is a `mixture of tiny coloured sweets of various shapes`. There are stacks of myths around relating to the origins of the iconic sweet, and nobody can agree on the exact date of origin. The story we love the best is this: Many believe that they originated around the time of the British Raj in India. Dal or Dahl in India are pulses (beans, peas, legumes) which are often made up of different sizes and colours.... so could Dally Mixture have led to Dolly Mixture? A long shot I know, but we love a bit of intrigue here! - Qty In Order: 200 grams (7.07 oz)
Sugar Free Sherbet Strawberries - a delicious sugar free version of the traditional favourite. Ingredients: Sweetener, Isomalt, Citric acid, Bicarbonate of Soda, Flavours amp; Natural Colours E100 As well as being sugar free, these are also gluten free... bonus! Advisory - Eating Sugar Free sweets in large quantities may have a laxative effect. - Qty In Order: 250g (8.8oz)
The king is dead... long live the king! Lions Football Gums are the new incarnation of one of the most popular sweets ever in our online sweetshop... and that is Lions Sports Mixture. Sadly the manufacturers have stopped making Sports Mixture for some unknown reason... and they have rebranded the sweet as Lions Football Gums. So you still get the same great flavours... and the hard chewy gum texture that only Lions can make. And yes, the black ones are still Lions liquorice gums with their distinctive flavour too. So all is as good as it ever was... just the name and some of the shapes are different. STOP PRESS: they now come in 2 x 190 gram pre-packed bags (that`s a humungous 380 grams in total) you get over 50% more gummy chewy, sucky, deliciousness than before... and they don`t cost a penny more!!! PS 380g is almost 13.5 ounces if that helps... - Qty In Order: 300g (2 packs each 150g)

Haribo Mini Jelly Babies - Aaaaaah, how diddy are these? Small versions of the original Jelly Babies, only this time they`re made by our pals at Haribo.

Giant Strawberry Cables - think strawberry pencils - and then super size them. These are approx 24 inches (60cm) long and thick too - and they taste really, really good!

Doesn`t affect the taste one bit though - they are absolutely delicious! - Qty In Order: Four giant cables
Bubblegum Swirly Lollies - Stunningly pretty bubblegum-flavour rock lollies! These are big, and we almost can`t bear to eat them as they`re so decorative (needless to say... we always do). They`re like the lollies I used to get at Blackpool when I was a wee nipper, and always make me think of soggy days on the prom (tee dee lee om pom pom!!! Can`t get that tune out of my head now) Each Swirly Lolly comes individually wrapped. P.S. These aren`t actual bubblegum... they just taste of bubblegum. We thought we better point that out, just in case. - Qty In Order: 8 Lollies

Blackcurrant Millions - These little beauties are positively bursting with flavour. They look like little nuggets of bubblegum, but they are infact little nuggets of chewy-fruitiness. They`re small (so last for ages... unless like us you like to pour them in en masse!), and they have a crisp casing that quickly becomes lovely and chewy. Delicious! We did a little taste test in the A Quarter Of office (it`s our duty), and The Blackcurrant ones are our favourites - the taste is just scrummy! - Qty In Order: 250g (8.8oz)

The Best Rhubarb amp; Custard in a Kilner Jar - A stunning (and very useful afterwards!) glass kilner jar filled to the brim with the best Rhubarb amp; Custards we`ve ever tasted. That`s because we have refined the recipe over and over again, and had them made especially and exclusively for A Quarter Of. You won`t find them anywhere else! Each individual Rhubarb amp; Custard is a work of art, and is packed full of flavour.... the rhubarb-y part of the sweet is really lovely and tart (just how rhubarb should be), and the custard part balances it out with its lovely creaminess - so we think you`ll agree that the combined flavour is simply amazing (not just how you remember it... even better!).

The Great British Tuck Shop Book - The ultimate book of sweetie nostalgia, with a foreword by sweet aficionado Jonathan Ross. But A Quarter Of doesn`t sell books! (we hear you shout). No, but we had to sell this one. You see, it`s brilliant, and encapsulates all the amazing nostalgia of the sweets (and other things!) of our youth. Open this book and you`re instantly transported to the Great Britain we remember - where the corner shop was filled with Aztec Bars, Pacers, Monster Munch and Kia Ora! We`re really really proud to have been part of it too - the authors came and did a spot of research at the A Quarter Of warehouse and the book features some of our products.

Sugary Jelly Spiders - for all you jelly spiders lovers out there we have a fab new treat for you. These are much smaller than our scary jelly spiders and they have a crunchy sugary coating. My rule of thumb goes as follows... for spiders this size I don`t mind catching them in my cupped hands to put outside. for the scary jelly spiders size of arachnid it`s a definite case of needing an empty glass and a piece of card to cover the top! (This is my rule for real spiders by the way... I`m incredibly brave with jelly ones!!!) - Qty In Order: 200 grams (7.07 oz)

Sweet Peanut Twists - Sweet Peanuts were one of those sweets that instantly transports you back to the sweetshop round the corner. We get stacks of people asking for these, unfortunately, we cannot get the originals back but have found these as the nearest replacement.

They`re really delicious: a crisp sweet peanut amp; cream (with a hint of Butterscotch) flavoured boiled sweet - Qty In Order: 200g (7.7oz)

Jelly Orange amp; Lemon Slices - why didn`t they start making these sooner? On the outside they have a sour sugary coating. Not too sour... like some of the unripe lemon meets battery acid type sweets that you get these days. And not too mild... believe me some of the sweets that we try that are allegedly `sour` wouldn`t know sour if it turned up and bit them! No... these have enough of a sour coating to merit the name... and once you get through that sour exterior the inside is sweet and fruity. They aren`t jelly as in Jelly Babies (so they aren`t springy when you squeeze them)... instead when you chew them they turn into a great big sticky gooey mess in your mouth... and a very tasty one at that too. So if you like Oranges and Lemons... and you like a bit of tanginess... you`re in for a treat with these. - Qty In Order: 250g (8.8oz)
Jelly Sports Rings - ok, confession time... when I saw these I thought "streuth... those sweet makers are really pushing the boundaries... creating a &`special&` sweet to tie in with the 2012 Olympics... NOT! But in order to write this description I had to try them... and before I knew it I&`d eaten all 7 that I&`d been given!

Gold Nuggets Bubblegum - Yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!! They`re back!!!!! After (literally) thousands of emails from you requesting, nay, DEMANDING the return of the gleaming Gold Nugget, here it is! Some of you may know them as Gold Rush or even Gold Rocks, but they always came in little hessian-type bags - these are the same, only these days the nuggets have to be enclosed in a sealed bag - not quite the same, but it`s the best you`re going to get! Also, we don`t quite remember how big they used to be - these are smallish (28g) - is that because they`ve shrunk, or because our hands have grown? We don`t care - they`re great. Hooray for the classic Nugget!!! - Qty In Order: one hessian bag containing 28g of nuggets
Gummy Bats - another in the `half way between a jelly and a gummy sweet` category these... (that`s what the `gummy` in the name means... not the fact that they haven`t got their false teeth in!) But never mind that... can you believe that we`ve actually got sweets in the form of these non feathered, flying creatures? Me neither! But when we saw them we just knew that we had to add them to www.AQuarterOf.co.uk... I`m mean we`d have been batty not to! (oh my aching sides!)

Anyhow... you get 5 nets of gold chocolate coins - so thats plenty to be going on with!

When I first launched AQuarterOf.co.uk back in 2002 I hadn`t even heard of Sweet Tobacco (or Spanish Gold sweet baccy as some people call it - that used to be packaged like real tobacco in little foil pouches). I don`t think that they sold Sweet Tobacco sweets at my local childhood sweetshop, The Chocolate Box, back in the 1970s. Or maybe they did and I just completely missed it. They did have those cigarette sweets... you know, the candy sticks with the red tip on the end but I don`t rememember coconut tobacco at all! But soon after I launched A Quarter Of I started getting deluged by emails from customers telling me how delicious Spanish Gold Sweet Tobacco is... and that I absolutely must add it to our range of sweets. It took me about 3 years to hunt it down. It`s that rare. But when I did find it I soon learned why it was so incredibly popular (by far our most requested old-fashioned sweet). It`s the delicious combination of coconut strands dipped in chocolate powder that does it for me - it`s mouthwatering sweet chewing tobacco. It`s unbelievably more-ish. (I`m a sucker for Bounty too... and I used to love Cabana - remember that?) - the combination of coconut and chocolate just can`t be beaten. Is your mouth watering yet? Just wait until you taste your Sweet Tobacco - it`s even better than I have described! - Qty In Order: 125g (4.4 ounces)
Strawberry Pencils - long (about 19cm or just over 7.5 inches!), soft, chewy, strawberryey(!) sweets. Just don`t try and sharpen them -! - Qty In Order: 10 pencils
Snappy Chewing Gum - Remember this? & It&`s something you always used to find in the jokes section at the local sweetshop round our way... a Wrigley&`s Chewing Gum-shaped pack which, when you offered it to your unsuspecting victim and they took one, would snap (and hurt!). & Absolutely great to see an old favourite back where it belongs. & Happy Snapping! & (Please note that this is not recommended for children below 9 years of age and definitely not suitable for children under 3 years.) - Qty In Order: 1 Pack Containing 1 Snappy Chewing Gum
If this isn`t the perfect Secret Santa or Stocking Filler idea then we don`t know what is. Or the "just in case" gift for "hard to buy for" people, or as a "top-up"... or to prevent the cringingly excruciating embarrassment when someone gives you a gift unexpectedly and you haven`t bought anything for them... Basically, it`s your multi-purpose "Get Out Of Jail Free" for Christmas 2023! Think of the most iconic sweets from your childhood sweetshop... drumstick lollies, black jacks, fruit salads, popping candy, refresher chews, rainbow drops, sherbet double dip... You`ll find them all in this fabby selection box plus loads more... there`s even white mice (yes, they still make them!).

Evil Pumpkins - these look like they`ve come straight from one of those horror movies. Probably the one where the scarecrow goes round wreaking havoc and generally causing a right kerfuffle! If you`re having a Halloween party they will go down an absolute storm. Yes they`re grinning... but it`s definitely not a good grin.

Ginger Ale Bottles - we`ve only just found these sweets but they taste incredibly nostalgic. I`m not sure if they were available in our local sweetshop when I was young, but they bally well should have been! They are boiled sweets in the shape of, you guessed it, a bottle... quite large (well long actually) - you couldn`t eat more than one at a time - but best of all is the taste. They have a wonderfuly spicy ginger flavour, not hot but a definite ginger warmth... a bit like `proper` ginger beer really (I used to make homemade ginger beer when I was young, it involved creating a `plant` which I had to feed each day with ginger and sugar. It was always incredibly fizzy. I made it until I was banned from doing so... when we came back from holiday one year all of the bottles that I`d stached in my bedroom - old glass bottles - had exploded. Took me weeks to clean the place.) Long story short... these are really good. And a lot less hassle than making your own! - Qty In Order: A quarter of a kilogram - just over 8.8 ounces

Soft Gummy Big Bears - just where is the border between sofy gummy sweets and jelly sweets? I personally would put these into the jelly category... but the manufacturers call them Soft Gummy Big Bears so who am I to argue? Put it this way, if you like soft gummy sweets, or jelly sweets, these will be right up your alley. Anyhow, I like these... and I think you will too. They are nice and big bears... with cute little faces and nice fat jelly tums... so they look good and taste even better.

Liquorice and Aniseed Pips - these have to be the marmite of the pips world...

Those who don`t have the taste for the unique flavours of liquorice and aniseed are often quite outspoken in their dislike... But usually this pales into insignificance when compared with the strength of feeling of liquorice lovers and aniseed addicts.

But we`re delighted to say that they returned in early 2011. They are delicious - think of liquorice torpedoes - but with a crisp cool mint coating! Crunchy and chewy and definitely different.

But where do they come from?... we hear you ask! Well, they`re based on the historic Catherine Wheel - everyone knows them as a traditional firework, but the origins are much more gruesome than that.... Are you sitting comfortably?
