This was such a treat for the whole family, thanks for picking me.

After all the excitement of opening the package, we set out the four bags of sweets, Jungle Jellies, Party Mix, Jelly Squirms and Jelly Snakes and everyone was allowed to make their choice. There was a mixed selection (we had the cousins over that day so there were lots of little hands scrabbling for their sweet). I'm not sure there was a firm favourite, the squirms and worms were definitely up there, but to be honest, I couldn't get them to commit to a favourite and actually stick to it.
We often buy The Natural Confectionery Co sweets when we buy goodies, and the kids absolutely love them. I definitely like that there are no artificial colours or flavours, and that is probably the reason why we buy them so often.
the kids are allowed treats once a week (mostly at weekends) and the treats include sweets, chocolate, popcorn or cisps. I've noticed The Natural Confectionery have been on offer recently, so we've been stocking up :)
Thanks a lot for including us in this trial MummyPages, we all had a great time testing and tasting.

Thanks for the opportunity!!
Yes i Have pruchased the Natural Confectionary once before i signed up for this trial.
I had purchased the Jelly squirms.
I had purchased them as a treat.
The natural Confectionary guarantee is very important as it is healthier for children and adults as well as being treated!!!
Yes the guarantee influences me to purchase the product in comparison to other products i would definataly be buying these again.
Jelly snakes were definatly the biggest hit here. They were so tasty and my 1 year old found them funny when i was showering how they wiggled.
JElly snakes.
Haribo, they are usually on offer.
Yes i will be purchasing these again as i found them fantastic and the guarentee of no artificial colours or flavours is a fantastic usp.

We don't buy treats very often in our house, mainly on birthdays and special occasions, and we've never tried these jellies from The Natural Confectionery company. You can imagine the squeels of delight when we received our package with not just one, but four whole bags of sweets! Today was going to be a special occasion treat day. The kids had friends over too, so it was an ideal taste test.
We all got to try one of each sweets, and the verdict was Jungle Jellies and Jelly Snakes. I personally loved the Jelly Squirms.
I really like that there is no artificial colouring or flavours with these sweets and it will definitely be a point I remember when shopping. If we are buying a treat, it's normally cakes or popcorn, but these are a great product and I would definitely buy them again.
Thanks very much for letting us take part - the kids were so thrilled.

Many thanks for picking us to be part of the trial, the kids were delighted!
We receieved 4 packs of sweets, Jelly Squirms, Worms, Party Mix and Jungle Jellies and the kids tasted them in turn and chose their favourites. The 14 yr old and 7 yr olds favourite was the Jelly Squirms, they love anything sour, while the 11 yr old chose the Jelly Worms. Overall they liked all the sweets but ranked the ones with the white foamy stuff on the bottom as the ones they liked the least. The adults (myself and husband) liked the worms the best, I also liked the squirms but husband disliked them. We also dont like the ones with the white bit on the bottom (what is that btw!)
I asked the children if they had a choice between the NCC sweets and another brand which would they choose and they all said the NCC as they were tastier. I do buy them NCC sweets now and then as a treat mainly because I like the fact that they have no artificial colours or flavourings, that definitely influences my choice, and like the children if I had a choice between them and other similarly priced brand then I would choose the NCC jellies. I also feel they are better quality jellies, they seem more solid and less gooey somehow than other brands.
I would purchase this product again without a doubt, I especially am happy the older children like them as its hard to keep them away from other sugary sweets laden with artificial colours and flavours.

Many thanks for allowing us to take part in this trial. we had lots of fun getting through the jellys without the guilt, haha and my children were good as gold for the 2 days knowing that i had packets of sweets in the press. :)
i have purchased naturnal confectionery jellies before. they are the only jelly treats i allow in the house, my youngest who is 4 would gets hyper alot from other sweets we had purchased in the past so were only delighted when we discovered these, especially with the no added sugar and no artifical flavours guarentee. which is very important. its hard to believe these jellies are sugar and artifical free, as there prob the nicest jellies on the market, im a big jelly lover.
my biggest influence for buying the product is again the no added sugar or no artficial flavours guarentee,
when the courier arrived the girls were so excited. we opened the 4 bags and all took a handfull of each.
they enjoyed playing for a while with the dinosaur and squirms, lol
my fav was the ones with the white bit underneath. my youngest wasnt too keen on them which i didnt mind more for me, .lol
she really enjoyed the big dinosaur ones and the long worms,
my eldest loved the sour jellies, and said these were her fav from them all, but still loved them all. i didnt really like the sour ones, as i dont like anythign coated in sugar
i wouldn't purchase any other jelly brands as alot have artficial stuff in them and i do believe the arficial flavouring and additives contributed to my 4 yrs olds hyperness , when we changed to the natural confectionery jellies i noticed a big difference, only other treats i would allow my children would be plain chocolate like buttons. and the odd pack of snacks.


i already buy natural confectionery jellies,and will continue to buy them with my weekly shop. love when they are on offer, i would definately recommend to others.


Thank you again, Mummypages and the Natural Confectionary Company for allowing us to be part of this trial :)

We were delighted wneh we found out we got selected!
My kids, and their dad, love jellies and The Natural Confectionery finds it place on our shopping list very often.
My son's favourite are the Snakes and our little girl loves Dinos and the Party Mix Myself and my husband often choose Squirms.
I love the flavour and the fact they are all natural and very fruity.it is very importatnt for me to give my kids what's best and when it comes to sweet treats I want to make sure they are no artificial colours or flavours.
I am looking forward to the Haloween mix to be back in stores, my kiddies loved it and we had to buy a lot more than oroginaly planned :-) Jellies are so soft and I don't have to worry about chocking hazard, they melt in kiddies mouths.
We will definately continue to buy The Natural Confectionery jellies and we would recommend them to all parents

thanks for letting me take part!
we loved the jellies my husband especialy!! my little one loved playing with the snakes! she thought they were great fun. I loved the snakes as did my husband , my nephew loved them aswel his faveourite would of been the snakes. The one thingsthat was agreed on by everybody is the jellies with the white underneeth would not be a firm favourite it put the children off eating those ones but over all they where enjoyed!!
The main reason why i would buy tthe natural confectionery company sweets would be the no artifical flavours! its so important to us andits a huge bonus and the kids have no clue which means they are a nice treat to give them.
I would buy them quite often but must be honest most of the time it is for hubby and me :) i also would by chocolate and crips as treats as my little one loves crisps and if any other jellies are on offer but the natural confectionary would be the winner in our house due to the no artifical flavours, and are especialy great for parties :)
We will be buying these jellies again without a doubt and would highly recommend them to friends and family Thank you so much for letting us take part it was great fun and very tasty :)

Thanks so much for letting me take part in this! My 2 year old daughter has never had jellies before so this was quite interesting, I do let her have treats of course but never thought to let her try these and I am so glad I did because she absolutely adored them! Its really great that they are healthy sweets, I feel that would encourage parents to buy them a lot more. The jelly snakes where her favourite because she recently saw a snake on telly so she was making hissing noises at them before she devoured them!
I have bought these sweets before but only for myself and hubby to eat! :) I can safely say that I will get them again for my lil girl as they really went down well and considering that they contain nothing artificial in them they're a great yummy treat! :)

Thank you so much for choosing us to try out The Natural Confectionary Company Jellies. All four of them.!! ; )

I have bought the plain jelly Snakes before for my 4 year old daughter for a treat. She would only get treats now and again. She mostly likes her chocolate, which i try to limit. At least with these healthy(er) jellies you don't feel as guilty for giving them..all natural! Which parent wouln't like that?
It's great that they have such a variety and aimed at both young and old and older... ; )
Bursting with juicy goodness. The packets won't last long, put it like that. ; )
I prefer the sour worms, love making the tangy face.. ; ) But also adored the Jungle mix. So fruity and loads of flavour. My 4 year old loved all of them, tried each and she couldn't decide which to choose. Will definately be trying the other varieties. Hard to beat having a sweet that is natural in flavour and no artificial stuff.. They are sooo juicy. And great fun, with all the different animals..
Looking forward to a Jelly treat or a handful later. Thank you again. Loved this trial soooo much. xx

Thank you for the opportunity to taste test the Natural Confectionary's range. We had previously bought these products for treats and parties for our son and his friends. I prefer to buy a bag with my weekly shopping and keep it in the house as a treat for the weekend etc. I normally buy the snakes jelly and squirms as these are my sons favourites. It is extremely important to me that this product is free from artifical colours and flavours as I find that when my son has been indulged in other jellies that contain these artifical products it does affect his behaviour and energy levels quite a lot but we do not see the same side effects with these jellies. If this was changed I would not be so keen for my son to enjoy this product as I do not like seeing the crash and burn effect E numbers have on him. I prefered the Party Mix as it had sweets with a white foam back and that is my favourite bit, my husband prefered the Jelly Squirms and my son like both the Jelly Squirms and the Jelly Snakes as he loved wiggling them along before eating them head first. I do not purchase any other sweets/jelly brands on a regular basis as I read the packets and do not like the amount of colours etc in them. I do buy some pure organic milk/white chocolate bars from green and black though as my sons loves chocolate as well as jellies. I will keep buying these products as I feel they are the best jellies on the market that do not make my child hyper. The only thing my son wanted to know is could you make bigger bags :) Once again thank you for this opportunity to write this review and thank you for the sweets, we had great fun testing them.

Thank you for letting us take part in The Natural Confectionary Sweet Trial - we enjoyed it soo much :)
We often buy The Natural Confectionery Company sweets as a treat as they have no artificial colours and no artificial flavour this is important to me and its the main reason why I buy them.

I have bought other sweets as treat especially if they are on offer and fit better with my budget well in these times where money matters but have to say you'll nearly always get the Natural Confectionary Jellies on offer. We had a kids birthday party at the weekend so all went down a treat the first to go where the Squirms and then the Snakes the snakes they kept hanging out of their mouths pretending they where teeth or birds eating lol They weren't too gone on the jellies with the white stuff on the back well that's what they kept saying hehe left more for me I loved the jungle mix.

I would recommend these products to family & friends I do from time to time purchase some of the nestle jellies if their on offer but more often then not its The Natural Confectionary Jellies as there is always a bag on offer for a €1 .


Thanks again for letting us take part we had fun doing it.
Now out for a walk to help burn off the Birthday Cake :) :)

First off I'd like to thank you for letting me take part in this trial.

I received my package on thurs and decided to keep them as a weekend treat for me and my little daughter. I have purchased the natural confectionary company sweets before as treats for myself but this is the first time my little girl has had them.
I find these the only jelly sweets I like out of all the brands. Soft chewy and yummy! I particularly like the squirms, I love sour sweets. My little girl loved all the other packs! So now my treat will include her as she likes them so much and they would be the only ones I'd give her as there's no artificial colours or flavours. Which is a big thing for me. I only want natural in things I feed my little girl. So these are great for a little treat and I'll definitely will be buying more as I don't purchase any other brand as I find them too hard.
Gorgeous sweets! And thanks again for including me in this trial x

Thank you for letting us take part in the latest trial.
We buy The natural confectionery sweets on a regular basis, the kids love them,and so do we. When there are a few sweets left in the packet, my hubby makes sure the packet is empty before the kids ask for more ;-). We buy either jelly snakes or the jungle jellies.
One of the reasons we chose The natural confectionery sweets is that there is no artificial colours and flavours in them, so they make a bit healthier treat for the kids than crisps or chocolate. I try to provide healthy snacks and treats for my family,so the fact that there are no artificials in them is a big plus.
The kids favourite always have been the jelly snakes. My daughter always eats all the pink ones, and we can have the rest then :-).
We will definitely keep buying them, they are family's favourite treat. And also we make sure we bring a packet with us when we go for a visit or on a trip!

Well I have to say that the arrival of 4 bags of these yummy sweeties made me very popular at home and I can assure you that it wasn’t just the little ones who were delighted when the postman delivered them!

The main reason I would choose the Natural Confectionary Company sweets over other brands is their guarantee of no artificial colours or flavours. So much of the foods we eat are processed and full of artificial sweeteners and enhancers that most of the time we don’t know what we are eating. I think it’s great to see a product that can assure us that this isn’t the case and I always try to buy as healthy as possible, within reason of course. This would definitely influence my decision as to whether to choose this brand over another.

I have purchased sweets from The Natural Confectionary Company before on a number of occasions. I have always been attracted to them by the guarantee that they have no artificial colours or flavours. I also think the packaging is quite appealing and they are widely available at a fairly reasonable price. The white coloured bag is instantly recognisable, it is attractive to the kids and they love the different animals, shapes and colours. I like the fact that the calories and other nutritional information are all clearly displayed, including the % of RDA. I mainly buy them for birthdays or special occasions like a trip to the cinema or a day at the zoo, but it’s not uncommon for me to stick a few bags in the trolley – just in case! I would usually purchase the snakes, jungle jellies or the party mix. I never tried the other ones as I was a bit nervous about trying the sours and wasn’t sure how popular they would be. I tend to keep them up high in the press (away from little people) but it’s funny how they always disappear – I have a bit of a passion for jellies myself and the fact that I consider these “healthy sweets” means they never last long.

Personally, I preferred the Jungle Jellies. I just love the flavour, the different colours and the sweet taste – I could happily chew on them all day. To be honest, all of the sweets went down a treat in our house but the Party Mix bag was demolished first. I think the reason was the attractiveness of the bag with a mix of different jellies and the fact that everyone wanted to know if one sweet would taste different from another. The Squirms were probably the least popular. I think the fact that they were sour and tangy put a few of us off them - they were just a bit too different. Having said that, the bag didn’t last more than a few hours, so it obviously didn’t bother any of us all that much.

As regards other sweets I would buy, Haribos and Skittles are the most popular in our house. However, we would also choose: Rowntrees Fruit pastilles, Rowntree Fruit Gums, Maynards Wine Gums, Dolly Mixture, Bassetts Jelly Babies and Liquorice allsorts, Nestle Smarties, Starburst. I have only listed the sweets/jellies we buy. Of course, we also buy chocolate but the list would be endless if I was to include all our favourite chocolates (mainly Cadbury).

If possible, I try to buy all our sweets in large multibags as part of our weekly shop as this is usually the best value but if we’re out for the day then we would buy individual packets. The kids love all sweeties – anything with a sugary, sweet taste drives them crazy for more so I have to put a limit on the amount they consume or they’d never eat any fruit or vegetables.

Yes, I will purchase these sweets again. The main reason would be the guarantee of no artificial flavours or colours. They are readily available in all stores convenient to me, the packages are appealing for the children and we all love them at home. If I need to buy sweets, they will always be top of the list. I would welcome any other varieties that the Natural Confectionary Company would introduce and I’m sure they would be very successful for the young and the old alike. After all, we all need our sweet treats now and again!
