Hugh's Views & News 
Yes! Your scoop runneth over Hugh! What are the two candies – they look like Licorice Allsorts, but are not rimmed in black. My late mother gave up smoking cold turkey in 1985. For reasons unknown to me, as I have never smoked, she used to freeze the large-sized marshmallows and eat them frozen when she craved a cigarette. I said “but they’re not the same shape to eat or even to hold?” She never had another cigarette and I was proud of her for that. Here is my Wordless Wednesday post, also edible, but not for me.

They are mini marshmallows, and (the large ones) are called fruit salad chews. The latter is from my childhood days.
I would never think to freeze marshmallows, but I’m glad they helped your mother quit smoking, Linda. That’s the first time I’ve heard of somebody using that method to quit smoking.
Likewise, I could never eat snails, but they are a popular dish in France served with lots of garlic.
Fruit salad chews – I like that. I like Jell-o with fruit salad and whipped cream on top and especially like Ambrosia salad. Now I am craving some. I think I would rather look at snails than eat them (as long as they are not in the garden).
There is also an aniseed version called Black Jacks, just as chewy but with a different flavour.
That sounds interesting, like Black Jack gum.
Oh, so yummy! My fave is chocolate-covered raisins.
Same here, Eugi.
Haha. Did a little mouse visit? Or, like often happens to me, did you only remember to take a photo after having a little bite? 🙂
Oh, you got me. I’ve been eating them since the weekend. And then I thought about a photo opportunity.
I can resist a lot of sweets but not chocolate – especially chocolate covered nuts.
Same here on the chocolate, but I prefer raisins in the middle.
You are going to need a bigger spoon. Those candies are awesome by the way.
Here’s My Post, just about as sweet I think anyway.

Whatever the size of the spoon, it’s never big enough when it comes to sweets, Mac.
My preference was always black jacks, but my favourites are jelly tots
I also have a bag of Black Jacks (to go with the Fruit Salads in the picture). My favourite was Tooty Fruities (sadly, which I can no longer buy).
I loved Tooty Minties … and old English flavoured Spangles
As soon as you said ‘old English flavoured Spangles’, I could taste them. What a great memory from the past.
Jelly tots I can still buy
Love a soft and good marshmallow for sure. As for it the size of the scoop: one can never have enough of these but I can see a sugar coma coming on for me.
I especially enjoy the baby/mini marshmallows. I do not buy them often as I know myself and will devour the entire bag if not careful. Hope you enjoyed these.

I remember the bigger ones from way back when I was growing up, Esme. I’m glad they are still around, although I don’t see them very much in the stores anymore. I have to hunt them down online.
Fortunately one does still find them on the internet and in places like Amazon etc. Enjoy
Yum, yum, yum 💜💜
It’s a big scoop, but totally justified!
I agree. A scoop can always be a little bigger, though (when it comes to sweet things).
Yep!
I would definitely say: YES!!
Good. Help yourself to a scoop of these, Erika.
Thanks a lot, I’ll enjoy 😋
Perfectly pastel, Hugh! I wonder how these would taste and look in a steamy mug of cocoa? Nicely done!
The marshmallows would be lovely in cocoa, Terri. However, the bigger sweets are very chewy. They’re called ‘Fruit Salads.’ Have been around in the UK since I was a child. There is also an aniseed version called Black Jacks. They are very morish.
Kind of like a licorice!
Yes, I thought it was liquorice. But when I checked the packet of them I have, it says aniseed. Of course, I had to chew one.
They actually look delish and very dense. Nope that would not work in hot cocoa!
Sweet teeth! And I’m a chocoholic…
What’s your favourite type of chocolate? Mine is Milk-Chocolate. Do you have a favourite bar of chocolate? Mine is ‘Crunchie.’ A milk-chocolate honeycombed bar.
I am a chocolate omnivore – any kind! Except maybe the really dark chocolate that is bitter. You must like Hershey’s milk chocolate. I do like Gherardelli’s.
I like the Reeses peanut butter cups. Not keen on Hershey’s. Much prefer Cadburys.
Hard to beat a Crunchie!
