Barney Jack's Mint Humbugs

Mint Humbugs are striped, hard-boiled mint sweets in a 195g bag. Barney Jack's, who make them in Pontefract, West Yorkshire, set out to bring back the sweet shop favourites of the past, and describe these as a refreshing sweet with the nostalgic taste of the nation's classic sweet shops.

The ingredients are glucose, sugar, vegetable oil, sweetened condensed milk, salt, flavours, soya lecithin and a caramel colour. The condensed milk is what gives a humbug its softer, chewy middle inside the hard shell, and the mint flavouring does the rest. Suck them and they last; bite them and you get to the chew sooner. Either way the mint is clean rather than fierce.

They are a car sweet, a desk-drawer sweet and a stocking filler. Put a bag in a hamper with Quiggin's Chocolate Covered Kendal Mint Cake for someone who likes mint, or with a bag of West Country Legends Apple and Cinnamon Sweet Straws for a sweet shop selection. One after a curry does the job a mint should.

A 195g bag. Contains milk and soya. The ingredient list has no gelatine, so they are suitable for vegetarians. Keep them dry so they do not stick together.
