British Barratt in Canada

Some sweets are tied to a particular kind of memory: a corner shop counter, a bit of pocket money, and a very serious decision about what it would buy. Barratt sits right in that territory. This collection brings together the Barratt sweets people still remember from the sweet shop, including Dolly Mix, Sherbet Fountain, Dip Dab, Shrimp and Bananas, Chewy Nougat and Nougat Bars. Whether you grew up with them in Britain and have been missing them since, or you have only heard someone in your family go misty-eyed about a Sherbet Fountain, this is where you can pick them up, shipped from Canada by The Great British Shop.

Sherbet, dipping and a certain amount of mess

Sherbet is one of the things Barratt does best, and it is rarely tidy. The Sherbet Fountain is the classic, a tube of fizzy sherbet you work through with a liquorice stick, usually ending with sherbet on your fingers and very little left in the packet. The Dip Dab follows the same idea with a lolly for dipping into the sherbet, then eating once the sherbet runs out or patience does. Both are small, cheerful and very much the sort of thing you buy one of and then wish you had bought three.

Dolly Mix, Shrimp and Bananas and the softer side of the sweet shop

Barratt Dolly Mix is a bag of small pastel sweets that has been finding its way into children's hands, cake decorations and grown-up desk drawers for a long time. Shrimp and Bananas is the other one people mention almost straight away, with soft foam sweets in pink and yellow that feel unmistakably British. These come in 150g bags, so there is enough to share, or at least enough to look as though you meant to.

Chewy nougat for people with time on their hands

For something slower going, Barratt Chewy Nougat and the Nougat Bars 4 pack fill the gap. Nougat is a sweet that asks for a bit of commitment, and that is half the appeal. A single 35g bar is handy to keep in a bag or a glove box, while the 4 pack makes more sense if there are other people in the house who will notice what you are eating.
