Collection: Barnetts Sour Sweet Jars
Barnetts Sour Sweet Jars – Face-Puckering Tradition in Every Twist
Barnetts Sour Sweet Jars aren’t just sweets — they’re an experience. They come with a warning label written in puckered lips and watery eyes, and they’ve earned their cult following for good reason. Handcrafted in copper pans, these British-born sour bombs are the ultimate test for even the most hardened sweet lover.
Mega Sour, Mega Impact
If you’ve never had the pleasure (or pain) of a Barnetts Mega Sour Sweet, prepare to be humbled. These sweets don’t whisper “sour” — they shout it with full vocal range. From Cola to Apple, Raspberry to Bubblegum, there’s a flavour for every daredevil. And when they come packaged in generously sized jars, they’re perfect for sharing — or hoarding, if you’re that sort of sweet fan.
Perfect for Display, Even Better for Demolition
Barnetts Sour Sweet Jars are a feast for the eyes before they ever touch your tongue. Each jar holds a glorious array of bold colours and tangy aromas that scream traditional sweet shop — the kind with proper scales and striped paper bags. Whether you’re a reseller, event planner or just building a birthday buffet, these jars make a brilliant centrepiece.
Options for Every Sweet Tooth (Even the Sugar-Free Ones)
If you’re watching your sugar intake, fear not. Our range includes Sugar-Free Barnetts Sweets that sacrifice nothing in flavour. We’re talking about punchy boiled wonders like Aniseed Twists and Army & Navy sweets — made for those who remember sweets from an era when “pick and mix” wasn’t pre-packed in plastic.
Flavours That Hit Hard
- Apple – tart and bright, with a knockout tang
- Raspberry – bold, fruity, and fiendishly sour
- Cola – familiar fizz with an electric twist
- Watermelon – sweet to start, savage in the middle
- Blue Raspberry – everyone’s favourite for good reason
And for those who like a real challenge, the Hot Chilli and Dangerously Sour variations are not for the faint-hearted. Think of them as a rite of passage with a sugary aftershock.
Handcrafted with Heritage
Made in Nottingham by a fifth-generation family business, Barnetts Sweets are a tribute to the old-school method: open copper pans, expert boiling, and hands-on finishing. This is confectionery with soul — strong flavours, traditional methods, and absolutely zero shortcuts.
