Barley sugar candies are a cherished Christmas tradition, their red-and-white stripes decorating trees and tables while delighting all ages. But for those overwhelmed by the pure sweetness (it's essentially boiled sugar), U.S. novelty brand Archie McPhee delivers a savory twist: salty barley sugars. Keep the fun candy cane shape and festive vibe, now with bold flavors you'll actually crave.
Expect the unexpected with these originals: two red ones flavored like bacon and meat sauce, plus two green for pickle and wasabi. Not everyday sweets, but ideal for spicing up New Year's Eve or pranking friends with a grin. Each box holds 6 candies, available on Amazon for under €5 (budget around €4 for shipping).
A step up from ordinary snacks, don't you think?
