I would order from SoSweet again.

Order came quickly, (Frisia vegan Marshmallows) well packed and in perfect condition. I would order from SoSweet again, although I would wait until the Frisia marshmallow twists are back in stock again as I much prefer them to the vegan ones, which was also a first time buy for me.

Speedy shipping and everything packaged well. However the selection of the 2kg pick and mix was abit disappointing. It’s not an even spread of sweets and you’ll get bored very quickly as not much variety, give us less dolphins and more raspberry cables

Hi Jeff

Thank you for taking the time to write a review, it is much appreciated.

Our mixes are dependent on stock and availability and can vary. We find that our mixes are very popular due to the great value for money that they offer and there will be duplicates in a large bag.
