Cavendish and Harvey Fruit Drops Tin - Pear and Blackberry - 5.29 Ounce (Pack of 12)

Oh man, these are so damn good, but pricey. I got these since the fruit Altoids are no longer available. Will purchase again, but as I said, they are pricey.

Best lemon drop ever!! Little bit tart.

I am a happy guy at the moment, enjoying one of these superb lemon drops as I write.A week ago, I found myself rereading the first Harry Potter book. Dumbledore is eating lemon drops, a muggle candy he had become especially fond of, and this scene made me think back to these really great lemon drops with a British-sounding name I remembered from childhood.I have not had one of these since I was a kid, and my sister and I got tins of these treats in our Christmas stockings. My memory was one of a sturdy round tin, removing its lid to reveal a gold foil sealing the contents. Peeling back the foil presented the generous drops, all dusted with fine icing sugar to prevent sticking. My memory was of a perfect lemon flavor, and a hard candy so painstakingly made that it would melt like a silky smooth glass button in my mouth. No sharp edges or voids like the low quality cheap drugstore brands.Anyway, I found the Cavendish & Harvey website, and it is a wealth of information about their history, their top quality ingredients, and their 100% natural flavors. They are a 70+ year old family-owned German company that merged with an English firm in 1959, and ships to 60 countries.Also, buy the 12 tin box because they make great gifts, but more because other vendors on Amazon totally price gouge this product, 3-5 times as much as this case. Be aware they make a smaller tin, but the drops themselves are much smaller. The 5.3 oz (150g) size is the way to go, and the 12 pack makes each tin about $2.90 delivered.Best part is my memory of these from my childhood was not romanticized. They are simply perfect both in presentation, taste and mouthfeel to an adult palette. I think I'll have another...

Buy these if you like lemon candy. The only problem is that you won't eat any other lemon candy again.

Yummy hard candies with a touch of citrus. A bit pricey.

Extremely delicious candy and conveniently packaged

Nicely done candies, great flavors.

I love the flavor of these candies in the little tins. The tins are just large enough to carry around in a tote bag everywhere I go and I think they are very helpful for someone who struggles with dry mouth as a side effect of medications that must be taken. I would describe these flavors as juicy rather than sour. The only issue is once I start the first one in my mouth, I find it hard to stop there. The flavors are addictive.
