Wonderful product, filling the hole left with the demise of Bassett's Clarnico mint creams. Can't understand why they are not more popular.

These were purchased as a gift for my wife who remembered them from her chilhood in Germany some fifty years ago. Her judgement: very good and authentic!

Searching for these drinks, I accidentally stumbled onto this website. Excellent service and goods arrived promptly and safely. The drink is going down very well. Gladly recommend the drink and Treasure Island Sweets.

Pontefract cakes - the original soft eating liquorice sweet in the shape of an old coin stamped with the seal of approval. Did you know these have been around since the 1648 Siege of Pontefract when liquorice was grown behind the homes of the residents. Each 250g bag contains about sixty sweets.

  • Also available to buy in a mega saving bulk 3kg bag packed full of pontefract sweets
  • 60 sweets approx per 250g bag
  • 720 sweets in a bulk 3Kg bag approx
