Liquorice allsorts

("Allsorts" redirects here. For the children's television series, see Allsorts (TV series).) Liquorice allsorts (also spelled licorice allsorts) consist of assorted liquorice sugar candies sold as a mixture. These confections are made of liquorice, sugar, coconut, aniseed jelly, fruit flavourings, and gelatine. They were first produced in Sheffield, England, by Geo. Bassett & Co Ltd who had taken over Wilkinsons (makers of Pontefract cakes, and licorice mushrooms, a confection with a licorice "stipe" and coconut-covered "cap"), Barratt's (makers of sherbet fountains/sweet cigarettes), and Trebor (makers of mints) before themselves being taken over by the Cadbury's consortium.
