November/Dec News 2012

The busy pre Christmas silly season has begun and who doesn't like special sweets and chocolates in their Santa stocking! Everyone has their own favourite and we have a huge selection that caters for all tastes and ages.
Read on for our latest news.

CARAMEL KISSES are back. A new supply has been found much to our relief and the pleasure of our regulars.

JERSEY CARAMELS - are now made by a new manufacture to a new recipe and they are sensational, just like they used to be.
DUSTED JELLY BABIES - are one of our best sellers. We have the imported English Jelly Babies as always, but now have a new Australian version. The flavours are particularly fresh and a soft texture.
OLD STYLE FRUIT DROPS - Australian made. Individually wrapped. The flavour of these little gems is truly stunning and they look really pretty.
TRAFFIC LIGHTS - are now back in stock after a long hold up with supply. These are perfect for making into stained glass biscuits, along with the old style fruit drops.
DOLLY MIX - We only have a small amount left, but are hopeful that we will get some more in before Xmas.
FLYING SAUCERS - we are going to run out any day now and we  have been informed by the wholesalers that there are none in the country until late Dec/early January. This is not good news.
ANGRY BIRD candy dispensers - are selling like hot cakes!
CHOCOLATE COATED SNAKES - are back in store and our Team have voted them as their new favourite.
TREACLE TOFFEE - we have slabs of Walkers treacle toffee as the small wrapped pieces are not available.
ENGLISH TOFFEE SLABS - made here in Tasmania to the original Thornton's recipe. Rich, buttery and very chewy.
FLORALS - are temporarily out of production due to machine break down. The manufacturer hopes this will be resolved shortly and that the back log can be filled around the end of the month.
 GOBSTOPPERS- The Monster and the Mega sizes have been discontinued sadly, and there are no replacements in sight. We have bought up all stock available, but these are the last ever, so soon they will only be a display item.

A reminder about all the different flavours of rock that we have in our jars -
Humbugs,  Bullseyes,  Spearmint,  Musk,  Raspberry,  Blueberry,  Passionfruit, Watermelon,  Mango,  Sarsparilla,  Choc mint,  Mixed Sherbets,  Tiny Tots,  Lemon Lime,  Irish Whiskey,  Sour Acid,  Cinnamon,  Barley Sugar Twist,  Grape,  Cherry, Apple
