5 Sweets Best Enjoyed on Bonfire Night
Today is Bonfire Night! Find out our top 5 sweets best enjoyed on this special occasion.
Remember, remember, the 5th of November! If you hadn’t realised that today is bonfire night then we’re here with a super sweet reminder to get you in the spirit!
There are some sweet treats that just lend themselves to this time of year and today we’re going to be sharing with you our top 5 retro sweets that we think are best enjoyed on bonfire night!
Popping Candy
An obvious choice for bonfire night is, of course, popping candy!
A tasty treat that mimics the fireworks going off around you, popping candy is seriously old school and a super fun sweet snack that is perfect for the occasion!
Our old school popping candy comes in the classic cherry flavour that is tangy, a little sour and the ultimate taste to accompany the popping texture.
Vanilla Fudge
Treacle might be more traditional for bonfire night but we think old-fashioned vanilla fudge is just as delicious for this special occasion!
Any flavours such as fudge, butterscotch or toffee are highly popular during bonfire season but we think it doesn’t get better than plain and simple vanilla flavoured fudge.
A soft, chewy texture and understated flavour that all ages can enjoy, we recommend dipping your fudge in melted chocolate for a fun and tasty treat at bonfire celebrations!
Liquorice Wheels
A seasonal sweet treat, liquorice wheels are perfect for bonfire parties thanks to the way they mimic the famous firework, the Catherine wheel.
These fragrantly flavoured black liquorice pinwheel sweets might be a love or hate kind of taste but there’s no denying that they’re the ultimate sweet treat for enjoying whilst embracing the fun of bonfire night!
Double Dip Sherbet
Another retro sweet treat that provides flavours that feel perfectly suited for bonfire night, double dip sherbets are tangy, sour and provide fireworks in your mouth!
Combining orange and cherry flavours with a candy stick for dipping, there’s no better combination of popping fruity flavours to enjoy whilst watching the fireworks!
Fizzers
Keeping with the theme of retro sweets that mimic the colours and sounds of bonfire night, it doesn’t get more festive than fizzers!
Fizzers might feel like a sweet treat for little ones but with their vibrant colours and fizzy texture in the mouth, they’re an ideal choice if you’re looking for retro sweets to add to your bonfire night buffet!
