That can't be possible. UK stuff can't be found here

Must nip into the local shops later to get some more UK made Jelly Babies, I just finished the last packet.

Re: For all those who miss British sweeties

Treats from Home and The British Lolly Shop is where I buy my UK sweets and crisps. You can order online from Treats From Home.

There is a local shop here in Balmain that sell UK sweets and crisps.

I'm missing Marks and Spencers mint toffee's. Not been able to find them yet.

Hoping to nip in tomorrow and get some more yummies

Also, another shop I'm liking is "Sugar Fix" - there's one underneath the Sydney City "Myer" (down in the food court) as well as one up at Warringah Mall. I think they have an online shop too.

The 85% one does with me, but the 70% one is good.

They also do the Milk chocolate, a bit like Swiss Chocolate.
