Australian sweets
 

About to send a box of stuff back to the UK for our best friends. He used to live in melbourne so was going to send back some cherry ripes which he always loved but are there any other Australian sweets that could go in the box too....I don't really eat them.....crisps on the otherhand!

(still cant get used to it myself)

There's something called violet crumble that a girl at work raves about. Also snakes, the ones made of gelatine seem to be very popular, oh and Freddo frogs, thats another one people talk about a lot.

And I still call them sweets after 6 years, ain't changing now!

Re: Australian sweets
 

go for the caramello & strawberry freddo's.

I've done a few fundraisers here, and they are the best sellers every time.

Snakes - Natural Company. Do they do the Natural line in Europe?
:p

My kids love those Choccy Snakes you see in Woolies or Coles :thumbsup:

Yeh they had just started doing them before we moved out!

Send some starburst, you get different flavours over here.

Send anything made by Allens (that includes snakes) I always likes Allens Kool fruits and Kool mints, Allens are made in Melbourne.
Cherryripes are yummy but Violet Crumble is an Austrlian version of crunchie and not as good, Burger rings are another good one, nothing like them in the UK.

This thread has made me miss the sweets and chocolates back home :( I love Violet Crumbles, Cherry Ripes and Tim Tams and Top Deck Freddos, yum!

Re: Australian sweets
 

:lol: So good to have an Aussie on missing stuff from Australia! Makes a change to all the whinging poms!;)

Allens 25% reduced sugar lollies are lovely, no artificial sweeteners either!

Kool mints, My mum used to get them sent over when we lived in the UK and Jaffa's.
Hav'nt seen Jaffa's around for a while though.

Thanks! :D I miss so much about Australia, I can't wait to go home but waiting for my husband to get over his travel bug! He loves it but I've really had enough! :blink:

Re: Australian sweets
 

I'd second Tim Tams - a few packets of them will be my brother in laws christmas present!

Everyone at my work goes crazy for Fantails, they're alright but very chewy!
