Bleh! Coconut! What about chocolate cups? Still to be found open topped and vulnerable to dust/small children's grime in many shops.
I want some sweeties now!!

Here in the colonies we have almond bark, white (vanilla) chocolate with whole almonds. Delicious! Also Skittles which are basically sugar coated sugar.

Do you have the licorice pipes and cigars there? They have little red sprinkles on the end to look like they're lit. 
The only kind I don't care for much of is the salty Dutch type.

What about Blackjacks and Fruit Salad chews? I used to get them when I was a kid every weekend when I'd been given my pocket money. Oh the days when sweets only cost 1/2p each! Ooh, and flying saucers - yum!
This entry has brought back some happy memories!

Liquorice is the king. All else matters not.

What really blew my mind recently, is the explosion of pix-n-mix jelly beans (you know those one's from the US that have wacky flavours). I couldn't believe it when I saw in my local supermarket shelves of the things.
...of course I had to buy a bag full of peanut butter flavoured jelly beans!
