The Bites seem to be made by a New Zealand company - gourmet line, put in hampers, etc. Haven't seen any reviews though.http://www.herbandspicemill.co.nz/index.html. In NZ $6.95/100g = £2.65 approx. This link mentions the herb and spice mill dips on sale http://www.herbandspicemill.co.nz/about.html. According to the site, products are available from speciality retailers (AF!) not supermarkets.

This nougat is the traditional Spanish type (not the sugar free version). Link to company: http://www.virginias.es/index2_eng.html Doesn't appear to provide detailed ingredients list.
