Mint Humbugs Waitrose 225g

I absolutely love these candies. I tried a cheaper brand that I could get in bulk but wasn't satisfied at all. The quality is definitely worth the price.

These are not like the humbugs they sell at Harrod’s but the food halls have been closed for a year and little is available. For the price these are very good and fresh. The centers are chewy and the mint is good and strong without being overpowering.

I remember these from my childhood and they are a wonderful occassional treat.

I love watching BBC channels. On one of the “Father Brown“ murder mysteries they we eating “Humbugs”. I was curious to find out if they were a real thing.They remind me of my grandmother, take me back to my childhood. She always gave us “horehound” candy. This is a familiar flavor.

A humbug is a humbug.

I was introduced to Mint Humbugs while traveling in England - a tasty combination of toffee and mint. These are definitely on the expensive side but I was buying them for a gift so I figured it was worth it. When I weighed the small package and found it underweight (208 g or 7.34 oz. not the 225 g or 7.88 oz. as advertised on Amazon) I was really disappointed. As another reviewer has already noted the package clearly states 200 g. If I buy again I'll definitely be looking for another supplier.

These things are better than crack. There's absolutely no one on earth with the self control to eat just one. The mint flavor is super mild and the chewy center is fantastic. It's like the old tootsie roll pop commercials, they are impossible to suck on without chewing to the center. I only wish there were more!

Humbugs take me back to my childhood and visits from all my English rellies. They arrived quickly and are very fresh. Will definitely buy from this seller again!!Thank you so much for such a wonderful treat!
