We’ve had a lot of love for this sweet lately, and after last weeks crazy choice we thought it was time for something a bit more… traditional!
It’s a classic British boiled sweet, that would be fantastic to enjoy on a warm summers day (or rainy day the rate this summer’s going 
).
Another sweet we like to count as one of our five a day, this weeks Retro sweet of the week is…
Rosy Apples!
Mmm these make our mouths water with their fruity juiciness! They are just deeelicious. A Rosy Apple a day keeps the doctor away 
Do you love Rosy Apples too?

These are delicious! These scream of the days when sweets were sold from humungous jars (I just caught the end of this era as a kid). A massive jar of these just looks beautiful and a perfect present *nudge nudge wink wink*.
My memories of these are of them being a classic ’shut up sweet’ to be deployed by irate parents on a long car journey

I would love to win this treat
because rosy apples I like to eat
My mom bought me them when I was a child
the delightful taste would make me go wild
If I were to win, Id share a few
Who am I kidding, maybe only one or two
Rosy apples sweetened my childhood
Id chomp them as I played stuck in the mood
I still eat them at 29
when Im watching a movie and drinking my wine.
