Swizzels Minions Very Berry Chew Bars - 140g

Swizzels belongs to the pocket-money end of British sweets: the corner shop, the paper bag, the careful sums done at the counter with a fistful of coppers. Nothing fancy, and nobody has ever wanted it to be.

The Minions get everywhere, so the faces on the packet are familiar here. What people in Canada go looking for is the Swizzels chew underneath, the one they remember from home, and the one they now want their own children to try.

These come as a 140g bag of chew bars, which is enough to share in theory. Kept sealed in a cool, dry cupboard they wait patiently for lunchboxes, the cinema, road trips and the moment someone says they fancy something sweet.

Swizzels is the same factory family behind Love Hearts, Drumsticks, Refreshers and Parma Violets, so the chew bars tend to end up next to those in a box of British sweets for someone who misses home. Nobody has ever complained about receiving one.
