It’s been wedding sweets galore lately in our retro sweet warehouse! The Chewbz team have been especially busy helping lots of lovely couples bring some retro sweetness to their big days.
To celebrate the last few weeks of summer loving, we’ve picked possibly the most wedding-related sweet of all time for this weeks Retro sweet of the week…
Sugared Almonds!
You can’t get more traditional than these sweets. Did you know that Sugared Almonds date back to the 13th Century?
Since then, sweet-toothed couples have been choosing Sugared Almonds as the perfect Wedding Favours. It’s tradition to give 5 to each guest to represent a long life, wealth, health and happiness. Ahh!
Not just for weddings though, a certain member of the Chewbz team (ahem, Dom) enjoys these on an almost daily basis in the Chewbz office!
If you’d ♥ to get your hands on some Sugared Almonds, simply leave a comment on this post. Our favourite comment will win the sweets.
Make sure you leave your comment before 9am next Monday 29th August.
lovely sugared almonds in pink and white and blue.
Silver and gold are perfect if you`re having a wedding do.
Pretty little treats especially nice for the Mother in Law,
Give her these and you`ll get some peace cos one bite on these and she`ll break her jaw ;}

On my way to the corner shop down by the beach in my town where I usually buy my sweets from (including sugared almonds) a large gust of wind came and blew my skirt up in front of all of the holiday makers! One thing they won’t forget – my Tom and Jerry pants :p

When I was little, Santa left a mini stocking at my Grandparents house for us to “discover” when we visited after Christmas. The stockings really were tiny, no more than 10cm tall but were always filled with lots and every year mine included sugared almonds. Winning some would mean reliving my childhood

OMG when I think of Sugared Almonds, I think of Christmas – when I was younger we got these in our stocking every single year – loved them too but never had them for years now since leaving home. Many happy Christmas memories!
