Hi,

Does anyone on here have a sweet tooth? My wife loves a couple of types of sweets but is importing them from overseas or buying them from Asian supermarkets. Being a Moneysaver and living in the land of confectionery that is the UK, I am sure we can get UK equivalents of these here and save ourselves a bit of money. Here is what she likes:


This one is basically a grape flavoured jelly covered in chocolate.

This is a wafer roll which is filled with chocolate.

Do you think supermarkets will sell stuff like this or would I have to go to a specialist confectionery retailer? We live in Manchester if that helps.

Thank you so much

Best thing would be to try oriental, ethnic or polish supermarkets. I don't think there are British equivalents to these.
But some things can be found online, here are some Polish wafer rolls.

Definitely oriental supermarkets will be your best bet - I lived in Malaysia for a few years, and saw both of those regularly for peanuts

Lidl sometimes have something in stock similar to the 2nd of your pictured item but classed as a wafer biscuit, not regular stock, just one of their specials every now & again & often in stock during 'Polish Week', which come around regularly.

Never seen the first, but I've seen similar to the 2nd in UK supermarkets, especially in run up to Christmas.

Try a google search for chocolate wafer rolls. Came up with this & lots more

Gummy are available on Amazon and also several oriental shops in the UK online.

Ojo are listed on eBay.
