Known throughout the English speaking world at least, humbugs are a very traditional sweet, known as the hard boiled variety. Humbugs are a form candy that can have many flavours, though peppermint is always popular. Humbugs are also easily identified by their stripes. Humbugs are usually longish cylinders and perhaps date from the 1820s. Made by mixing sugar, glycerine, food colouring and flavouring, then heated, the sticky humbug is poured then stretched and folded. Its signature stripes arise when a smaller piece of coloured mixture is folded into the batch.

All you have to do is add food colouring and you have an attractive sweet. Thought to have originated in India or Iran, rock candy has long been a great favourite among those with a sweet tooth.
