I got some Pick N Mix Halloween themed Candy while we were on holiday from Sugar Mountain in Berwick-Upon-Tweed, a lovely little Borders town in the North of England.
I deliberatedly chose spooky things, as well as those I needed to get through the cold day on the coast.
These are the two main reasons - Jazzy's in the shape of orange slices (which turned out to only be slightly orangey) and weird blue mice - of which I got a few. Just about in shot is the brain, a 4 layered jelly sweet which was absolutely amazing and easily the best thing in the bag. It had just the right mix of textures and flavours to be exciting -sad I only put one in the bag!
I got a chocolate frog for old times sake, and a yellow chocolate Simba that tasted a little odd.
The other spooky jellies couldn't compare to the brain, but each had their own appeals. The candy letters tasted more like the swizzles necklaces than the traditional chalky letters which was odd but not in a bad way.
For £3 this isn't an activity I'd do regularly, but with the idea that this would keep me buzzing enough to make it around all the walks it worked well - and some even made it home.
