- The famous bobbly ones from Liquorice Allsorts.

A soft aniseed jelly button sweet, covered -sprinkled- with a crunchy sugar ball coating. The ones you either head straight for or avoid like the plague (love it or hate it). There are blue and pink ones.

They are called spogs or horse cakes.

 

- Liquorice allsorts (also spelled licorice allsorts) consist of assorted liquorice sugar candies sold as a mixture. These confections are made of liquorice, sugar, coconut, aniseed jelly, fruit flavourings, and gelatine. They were first produced in Sheffield, England.

 

Allsorts are produced by many companies around the world today. They are most popular in Britain, continental Europe (especially in the Netherlands where it is called 'Engelse drop', meaning English liquorice), Australia and Canada.
