Squashies Sweets
Squashies Sweets – Britain's Favourite Soft and Chewy Sweet Bags Bursting with Flavour
Squashies Sweets have achieved something that few confectionery brands manage. They have become instantly recognisable. Mention the word "Squashies" and people immediately think of soft, pillowy sweets that are impossible to eat just one of. Colourful, wonderfully chewy and packed with nostalgic flavours, Squashies have transformed from a clever spin on the classic Drumstick sweet into one of Britain's most successful and best-loved confectionery ranges.
Made by the iconic makers of Swizzels Sweets, Squashies have reimagined traditional British confectionery for a new generation of sweet lovers. They sit somewhere between chewy sweets, foam sweets and gummies, creating a texture that feels entirely unique. Soft enough to be satisfyingly squidgy, yet chewy enough to be wonderfully moreish, Squashies deliver an eating experience unlike any other sweet bag on the shelf.
What Are Squashies Sweets?
Squashies Sweets are soft and chewy sweets with a light, fluffy texture and bold fruit-inspired flavours. They were originally inspired by the famous Drumstick lollies that have delighted generations of British sweet lovers for decades. Rather than recreating the traditional hard chew, Swizzels developed a softer, foamy texture that almost melts in the mouth while still delivering that satisfyingly chewy bite.
The result is confectionery that feels playful, comforting and wonderfully nostalgic. They appeal just as much to adults looking to rediscover childhood favourites as they do to children discovering these colourful sweets for the first time.
The Famous Squashies Texture
Part of the magic of Squashies lies in their texture. They are not jelly sweets and they are not traditional gummies. Instead, they occupy their own delicious corner of the confectionery world. Every piece is soft, pillowy and gently chewy, making them incredibly easy to enjoy by the handful.
This distinctive foamy texture has become one of the defining reasons behind the range's popularity. It feels indulgent without being heavy and creates the sort of sweet that disappears from the sharing bag considerably faster than most people anticipate.
