In 1899, Charlie Thompson, a Bassett's sales representative, supposedly tripped over and dropped a tray of samples he was showing a client in Leicester, mixing up the various sweets. The client was intrigued by the new creation and the rest is history....
Allsorts are produced by many companies around the world, but are most popular in Europe, especially outside England! They are known as Engelse drop, Engelsk konfekt, Lakridskonfekt, Englantilainen lakritsiand more.
They have been re-interpreted by many (Including the likes of Haribo) but are typically made of liquorice, sugar, coconut, aniseed jelly, fruit flavourings.
Did you know that the original contained "chips, rocks, buttons, nuggets, plugs and twists" but that no record exists of what these were?
Let customers speak for us
Fudge deliciousness
I bought these as the wonderful liquorice ones were out of stock. These are surprisingly fantastic butter tablet fudge mix.
Liquorice Imps to always have with you.
I work in a large warehouse with limited time for breaks so I need something that is full of flavour to use. These imps are ideal, you get just the right balance of liquorice and menthol, just perfect.
Great product
Lovely liquorice and good price
portent of summer
really really good! these taste of summer dreams - and may be my new favourite.
gustatory nostalgia (it takes you back!!)
I gorged myself on similar as a child (longer ago than I care to say.) These took me right back there - and my behaviour is appalling...
crunchy snow balls
More than compensation for any dearth of the real white stuff, these are fabulous melt-in-the-mouth comfort - and not so cold.
Incredibly delicious!
Very nice quick delivery
Fantastic
These are so tasty and quick delivery. Love them
Yum!
These are my all time favorite sweets, can’t stop eating them when I have some. Will have to order more soon as my supply is running low!
All-Star Texture and Flavour
These sticks have a gorgeously soft texture and deep, layered flavour, an absolute treat on the tongue. You can really taste the extra cooking time that went into the liquorice, a real star in the Bülow line-up, I think, and a new permanent fixture in my liquorice orders.
Beware!
Beware! Do not buy these if you want to ever fit out of your door again! Seriously, these things are so frickin nice, I just can't stop eating them!
Chocolate Delight
