Arrow Jelly Babies are named Britain's favourite confectionery



The survey revealed a third of the 2,000 Britons admit they love eating sweets
as it transports them back to their childhood.

In fact, 27 per cent are thrilled that sweets from when they were young are
now back in the shops.


Turkish Delight was also a favourite with 52 per cent of Brits opting for this sweet treat (lush)

I do like a liquor-IS allsort, me

I have that opinion of Liquorice, my Mom loved them, but I have never been able to enjoy them.

Jelly beans on the other hand are delicious
