No one in thier right mind can walk into this place and not feel the smile burst onto their face. There is something about sweet shops that just make everything with the world ok. So, if you need a bit of joy in your life visit scrumtiously (not enough shops use this as a name!) sweet and get that inner child buzzing with wonder and excitment about which sugary susbtance will soon be hitting your taste buds and filling you with complete satisfaction!

Yes, yes - a contradiction in terms! Just walking through its doors brightens my day. The shop assistants greet you with a warm smile, offers you an array of childhood delights from strawberry laces to chocolate bon bons. With a bag of sweet treats in my pocket, even a long walk in the cold is an attractive proposition!

What other name could you call a sweet shop really?…read more This is a tiny little shop big enough for maybe a handful of people at any one time, but it packs a mighty punch. All the old favourites line the shelves like wallpaper in the old fashioned tall pots. You pick what you want, the lady weighs it up and that's it - cue memory lane. Sherbet Lemons will always be my favourite but there are so many others too. This is also a good shop to find sugar and gluten free sweeties - which is pretty rare so fair play!

Buttered brazils, strawberry Fizz Wizzes, humbugs of various stripes, liquorice is all its awful guises (I hated it) including the packet of sherbert with a liquorice stick inside like a small firework. Those flying-saucer sherbets in different art-deco colours; aniseeed balls, pear drops, barley sugar, sarsparilla, sherbert lemons. A treasure trove. Interestingly, most are still made in Scotland and the North of England. It's a labour of love by the owner, Judith Burnett, to keep each jar stocked. How lucky we are that she does.

You know, the classics that join you and your grandparents in soaring memories of childhood. I won't wax too lyrical about the types of sweets available, because I expect you all know really... but then there might be some people who don't: Rhubard & custard, aniseed balls, barley sugar, hard gums, butterscotch, truffles, jelly beans, giant gobstoppers, sherbert lemons, pear drops, treacle toffee, candy canes, toasted teacakes, bon bons, humbugs and white mice, to name a few. The staff here are lovely and prices are very reasonable for the quality of product. Worth a visit if you're passing by that way. Just don't tell you dentist.

However why not, the owner explained that it had been open since February and was very popular with people wanting a return to more traditional shops.The shelves were stocked with jars of every conceivable sweet including my favourite of sweet and sours. They also had a small selection of hand made nougat and speciality choclates very tempting!! I liked their novely range of choclate bars with labels to cover every type of occasion/person, daughter, son, teacher, thank you, cheer up etc. The shop also stocked helium balloons which I have always loved.

It's not as big as I would have liked (!) but they do manage to cram in a lot of things in here. Sweets are in huge jars just like the used to be before 'Pick n' Pix' was invented. (Having said that, there is a Pick and Pix section if you desire it, but I personally suggest the jars as they always have the best ones in there!). If you are in the area, it's definitely worth a trip inside!!

I understand, the name 'TREETZ' spelt as it is doesn't sound the most appealing.. and from the outside it looks to bright and garish compared to a more traditional tuck shop that has charm to it, but once you're inside Treetz, you get that same feeling as if you did just walk into that tuck shop - bubbly excitement at all the goodies you're surrounded by. Pear drops in big tubs, sizzling candy in straw-like tubes, gum powder in sachets and sweeties in mini baby bottles are just some examples of what you'll find here. Finding a roll of Hubba Bubba tape gum gave me a little smile. There is also pick and mix here with the usuals, but also some great huge marshmallow worms and funny tiny blue and white gummy whales (or at least I think they are whales). You'll definitely buy something if you come in here, whether if it's a snack you're after, or simply something to take home for nostalgia's sake.

Phew! And to a bigger and better shop. This always used to be my 'secret chocolate factory' - right in the heart of Bristol, tucked away down a lane, where they hand-make absolutely wonderful chocolates for high-end retailers. Yet you could walk right in to their premises and buy mis-shapes right there, in a paper bag. Goodness, I brought so many people here to show off my knowledge of this hidden gem. You'd walk in, and the cocoa smell was so wonderfully overpowering... Someone would hear the bell and come and serve you, still with their hat and gloves from working on the confectioner's table. Aside from the delicious smell and delicious chocolates (my favourite was always the Lilac Crème), it was a privilege to see a niche industry in action. Now Guilbert is in a 'proper' shop. Go up Corn St, follow the road around to the left and there it is. A traditional chocolate shop! They deserve their success, the chocolates are utterly delicious and always beautifully presented. Birthdays, St. Valentine's Day, Mothering Sunday, special occasions...look no further :-)
