Europe is not only known for tourist destinations, fashion, cuisine, and culture. It is also known for her luscious sweets or candies if you live in other parts of the world. Europe boasts a wide array of sugary treats that make both the young ones and the young at hearts go gaga. Whatever sweet you're craving for, Europe has the answer and most of the time you will find your favourite treats in sweet hampers sold in candy stores across the continent.
Liquorice allsorts is one of the sweets Europe is known for. These scrumptious sweets are made of liquorice, coconut, sugar, aniseed jelly, gelatine, and fruit flavourings. First produced in Sheffield, England they became most popular in Britain and North America. So if you are into this chewy treat, you can help yourself in sweet hampers, just look for the nearest candy store, which by the way are easy to find all over Europe.
