Bassetts Cherry Drops (49g)

I like boiled sweets which are not sickly sweet and these fit the bill. They have a nice strong cherry flavour without being too sugary. The small tube with individually wrapped sweets fits well in the pocket of a handbag and they didn't all stick to one another as some sweets do.

I'd agree that these taste like the cherry cough drops that I can find in the US, but only bigger. The inner wrapping of these is poor as when I opened the final pack that I bought, the first one was uncovered. Since the company who makes this sells many candy and other items, I would have expected better packaging care. However, still a tasty treat when you need sweet and tart candy choice.

A real must have purchase for any and all cherry lovers. An authentic and intense cherry taste that just keeps going and going and going. A lot of boiled sweets will lose their flavour after a while, these however you can still taste clearly after the physical evidence is long gone.

Wow, just discovered these on BCS. When I was a kid I used to love these things.

Strong flavoured Cherry Drops that have a great colour and flavour.

Each drop is individually wrapped to ensure they remain intact and not stuck together when the time comes to enjoy them.

They are a reasonable price too!

Bassetts Cherry Drops are pinky red coloured hard boiled sweets which come individually wrapped in a tube. The sweets themselves are shiny and smooth and made for sucking on slowly. The cherry flavour is quite genuine, with a hint of cough syrup taste, which actually puts me off them. Not bad if you really like cherry flavoured sweets.
