How about coconut with choc chips - yum; or chocolate,banana and strawberry swirl......</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On the kids table we now have a selection of cups filled with things like racing cars, sour worms, gummy bears, party mix. They are great to grab and go and the cups keep the lollies together and fresh. The presentation is also very appealing making them a great little gift.</span><br />

<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13;">Hello One and All</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13;">We are way over due with an update on Sweets and Treats News....</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13;">So here we go -</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13;"><b>GIANT JELLY BABIES</b> - at long, long last we have the re released, new recipe GIANT JELLY BABIES on the counter. They are very soft and delicious like they used to be. The colours are not the original multi ones that we loved best, but this is as good as it is going to get. We are happy to recommend these once again to all those jelly baby lovers. The manufacturer has also remade the regular size jelly babies and they are arguably the best on the market at the moment also.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"><b>RASPBERRY LICORICE</b></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13;"> - we have a new brand of Raspberry Licorice that is to die for. It is super soft and the raspberry flavour is divine. There is also regular licorce as well and we have both at the moment. If you are a soft licorice person then these are the<i><b> ultimate in softness and flavour intensity</b></i>. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13;"><b>ICECREAM</b> - Our new freezer displays are finished and we are sooo happy. The icecream tastes and looks so much better! Our in house </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;">Strawberry Choc Chip</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13;"> has proven a hit and we are thinking of adding choc chips to the Coconut as well - we will trial that when the weather gets warmer. There is a new batch of </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;"><b>Apricot Brandy</b></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13;"> serving now and it is better than ever. It really is a taste of summer which is a nice reminder at the moment!</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13;"><b>CHOC COATED FRUIT RINGS</b> are back and they are our team<b> favourite!</b></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"><b>SHERBET FOUNTAINS</b></span> are also back in stock with new packaging - not paper anymore sadly.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13;">AMERICAN FAVOURITES - we are now stocking a small range of American favourites like Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, Peanut Butter M&M's and Hershey bars</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"><b>WHITE KNIGHTS</b></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13;"> were out of production for a few weeks but this is now rectified.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13;">For winter we have got some new English sweets -<b> BRANDY BALLS</b> and <b>WINTER MIXTURE</b> and <b>APPLE and CUSTARD</b>.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13;">In our hand made range</span> <b>SARSPARILLA</b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13;"> is a big hit. These are an acquired taste but a truly old fashioned flavour popular with the oldies.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13;">Our trial of new turkish delight flavours (Orange,Lemon and Cherry) went really well. The first batch sold very quickly and we will order some more in and this time we will try a different flavour as well - Apricot perhaps...?</span><br />
<b style="color: #783f04;">CHOC COATED CHICOS- </b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13;">due to popular demand we now have choc coated chicos back in stock. We thought you were sick of them but how wrong we were!!! - sorry, we will not delete them again....</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13;">The confectionery manufacturers have passed on large price increases over the last month - what a shock.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13;">We have kept them to a minimum in the shop but we have had to let some lines go as we felt they were just too expensive now. Let us know if you can't see your favourite and we will let you know what the status is.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Let's get you up to date with all the news from Sweets and Treats.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">GIANT JELLY BABIES - what a disastrous saga it still is. We finally received our shipment of the overly long awaited Giant Jelly Babies only to find they were nothing like they used to be!! They were rubbish by comparison. We were all so shocked and disappointed. We voiced our utter dismay to the manufacturer and they admitted that there were problems with the new factory and agreed to look into the Giant Jelly Baby issue. They came back to us and said that they would make changes to the texture and flavour, but they would not be able to reproduce the colours of the original. How disappointing. Then they said they would not release the new version until they got rid of the old stock. How disappointing. We are waiting for a sample package so that we can at least see if they have been able to improve the quality as promised. I am not holding out great hopes. There have been problems with the whole jelly range and they are not very interested in producing a quality product anymore. It is a big company and they do not care about the end user, only the cost and ease of production. How disappointing......... We will let you know when the new stock arrives.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Post Script - The new batch is due off the production line at the end of March</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">VALHALLA ICECREAM - we have two brand new freezers and more wonderful Tasmanian made icecream from Valhalla. We now have 28 flavours. John and Luke have made a delicious </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Strawberry Choc Chip</b></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> icecream for us and we all love it. Lots of customers are having it as a double with the Peppermint Choc Chip - it looks great and they love the combo as well. We have Mango sorbet back in for the warmer weather and Butterscotch, Coconut and Pineapple iceream as well due to customer demand.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">FLYING SAUCERS have been out of stock for weeks but we have been told that they may be available again sometime next week.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Post script - Flying saucers are now back on our shelf</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13;">TURKISH DELIGHT - the long awaited 3 new flavours will be in our next shipment due next week!! There will be </span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: yellow;">LEMON</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13;">, </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">ORANGE</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13;"> </span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13;">and </span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">CHERRY</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13;"> as well as the traditional </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;">ROSE</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13;"> flavour in our counter display for you to try. We are really looking forward to seeing the response from the Turkish Delight lovers.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">Post script - We now have them in store and they are fabulous!</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">ENGLISH SWEETS - one of our wholesalers has offered us a new range of English sweets under the label of BONDS. Now we used to stock a BONDS range of english sweets when we first opened all those years ago, but they disappeared to be replaced with other brands. Bonds were a quality product back then and we are hoping that this is still the case. The range is very much the same as what we currently have, but there are a couple of new things we are hoping to get hold of. We will have more information about what we can get and the prices next week.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">RASPBERRY</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">LICORICE</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> - has been unavailable for a few months again. But the great news is that at a recent Trade Show we found a new manufacturer and supplier by chance. <b>The quality of the product is just fantastic</b> - better than we have ever had before. We can't wait for it to come. The only issue is that it only comes in little pieces, not in long logs like we are used to, so we have to decide on the best way of presenting it to you. We are also going to swap over to this new brand with the traditional black licorice as well, including chocolate coated logs, as the quality is so superior and we know you are going to just love it as much as we do. As far as we can tell, the price will be very similar too, which is another reason to be happy. We have been advised that we will have the Raspberry Licorice in store next week. Yay! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">COCONUT ICE, CARAMEL FUDGE, CHOCOLATE FUDGE we have established a supply of quality hand made slabs and it is selling like hot cakes.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">GUMBALLS - we are still chasing a supplier of good quality regular gum balls (not the fizzy ones). The Jamboree gumball tubes are now available again and this is the best we can do until something else turns up.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">At the TRADE FAIR we found some stuff that we thought had been deleted and then a few new things as well. We will tell you about them as they slowly turn up in our orders. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">WARNING - manufacturers are starting to advise us that they are about to pass on price increases of approx 10% due to spike in sugar price and transport costs. This rise will take effect in our shop as the new stock comes in over the next couple of weeks. So stock up for Easter ASAP!!!</span><br />

Due to an ordering system failure at the manufacturers we still have not received our supply of much awaited Giant Jelly Babies. I have been assured today that the problem is now sorted and our shipment will be on its way this week. This puts the ETA in to our store on Wednesday the 22nd of December. All we can say is better late than never I guess.......</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">We have altered our range of scoop icecream. Streets no longer make the premium scoop icecream we have carried for 25 years. The quality of the new range Streets were offering was absolutely woeful, so we have changed all our flavours over to Valhalla Icecream, made here in Tasmania. Previously we used about half Streets and half Valhalla picking the best from each maker. Now that we have made the change we realise we should have done it ages ago anyway! Valhalla have a big variety of fantastic flavours and the premium quality is there for the tasting. So our regulars will notice that some of the icecream looks very different but we are sure they will be thrilled with the Valhalla alternative. We have already trialled some new flavours; Macadamia with marmalade was to die for, it was a wonderful combination loaded with macadamia nuts and loads of real marmalade swirled through; Cinnamon is rich and creamy and not too strong; Christmas Pudding is back for the festive season and full of rum and fruit; Rocky Road is really popular, loaded with marshmallows, raspberry swirl and nuts. We will keep introducing new flavours so we can all try them out. We have ordered new freezer displays so that we will be able to carry 29 Flavours at once, so choosing a flavour is about to get even harder!!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">With Christmas only days way now, the sales of anything ginger are going through the roof. Dark chocolate ginger is always a big winner and Ginger Butters are the boiled sweet alternative, made here in Tasmania - people keep returning for more. English Dolly Mix is another Christmas specialty along with English Licorice Allsorts.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13;">We have 3 new hand made treats for you this month. Firstly, <b>Fruit Drops</b> - traditonal round balls of fruit flavoured toffee in red, yellow, green and orange. The flavours are just divine, really fresh and crisp. Secondly, <b>Peanut Brittle drops</b> - a dark toffee ball with bits of peanut. These are a very different product to our Peanut Brittle slab which is made to a different recipe. Some people will like the convenience of the consistent shape and size of the drops compared to the broken slab pieces. Thirdly, <b>Eucalyptus Drops</b> - yellow and green toffee drops with a distinct eucalyptus flavour. You can smell the sweet eucalyptus aroma as soon as we open the jar. Customers have been asking for these old style eucalyptus drops for ages as an alternative to Eucalypties, which have a soft centre. The flavour is neither too strong, nor too timid - just right in our opinion. Try some and tell us what you think. Remember when you come in to the shop there is always a tray of samples for you to try!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">GIANT JELLY BABIES are back in production</span></b> as of 19 Oct. We have placed an order and waiting our turn for delivery!!!!!!! Hopefully this will be in the first week of November. Boy, are we excited............</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13;"> sad news - our wholesaler <i>forgot </i>to order our new flavours of turkish Delight. Now that has made us very cross, but not much we can do about it now, but wait until the next shipment. Cadbury New Zealand stopped the manufacture of <b>Toasties </b>briefly, but we now have them back in stock. We also have a New Zealand product called <b>Eskimos </b>on the shelf as something new for us. They are hard to describe..... like a hard marshmallow in texture (like the lolly bananas) in three colours pink, white and green, in the shape similar to a big jelly baby. I nearly forgot, we now have <b>Irish Cream Almonds</b> back on the shelf to please the regulars - a delicious alternative to plain choc almonds.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13;">In our icecream freezer, we now have <b>Coconut Icecream </b>back due to customer demand. It is soooo nice I could eat the whole tub myself!! The Rum and Raisin has been really popular lately, along with the Jamaican Coffee. There are so many wonderful flavours that it is too hard to choose just one, so we offer a twin serve, which is 2 small scoops on a cone so that makes the decision a little easier!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13;">So what has been jumping off the shelf this month -</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13;">Candy Bullets</span><br />

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">As this is the first post, here is a run down of news from the last few months.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">We are still getting lots of email enquiries about </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Giant Jelly Babies</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">We are sorry to report that they are still out of production, waiting for the manufacturer to complete a major factory refit. They were meant to be ready in March, then it was July, now they won’t give a date as they are so far behind schedule that no one is game to predict. I am about to contact them again and I will let you all know as soon as we have an update. There is no other jelly like them, so we all just have to be patient.....</span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Prydes factory is back in production after a very messy sale. Not all lines are available yet, but we do have Aniseed Rings,</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b> Tarzan Jubes</b></span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">, </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>Sparkles</b></span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">, Turkish Delight, Fruit Jellies, Jelly Beans and they are the most popular.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">CHOO CHOO BARS</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> are now available again after an absence of many years. A new company is now making them to the original recipe. They are making two types, Licorice and a Raspberry. The packaging uses the original colours with a recognisable design.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Earlier this year we asked our local icecream maker, Valhalla, to make us some </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Turkish Delight Icecream. </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">He came up with a rich chocolate icecream with that beautiful rose turkish delight flavour. It is truly delicious and has really hit the spot with all the turkish delight fans, and there are many!!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Speaking of Turkish Delight, we are ordering in a new range of </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>Turkish Delight Flavours</b></span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">. Soon you will be able to get not only the rose flavour but </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>LEMON</b></span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">, </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>ORANGE</b></span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> and </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>CHERRY</b></span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">. We are looking forward to having these new flavours to try.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">SLATE PENCILS </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">are back on the shelf! At long last we have tracked down them down again and we are all smiling. They are a bit shorter than they used to be, but the flavour and texture are just how we remembered. For those who don’t know them, they are like a musk stick to look at, grey in colour and aniseed in flavour.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">We are having trouble keeping up the supply of </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">PEANUT BRITTLE - </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">it is selling by the bucket load!!
