Fox's Glacier Fruits - 100g

Glacier Fruits sit in the same family as Glacier Mints, the Fox's sweets that have lived in British handbags for generations. Boiled sweets are proper old-school confectionery, the kind once weighed out from a jar at the corner shop and still bought by the bag today.

People in Canada go looking for them because the memory is so particular: the rustle of a wrapper in the cinema, the sweet passed back from the front seat, the one your nan always had ready. Only this sweet brings that exact moment back.

The 100g bag is full of individually wrapped sweets, so it keeps happily in the cupboard, the car or a coat pocket. Somewhere cool and dry stops them fusing into one large sticky lump. Shared round, a bag goes further than you would think. Hoarded, it goes further still.

Pair them with a bag of Glacier Mints for the full Fox's line-up, or tuck a few into a parcel for someone who misses home. Hard sweets hold up in the post far better than a bar of chocolate.
