Feedback

Everyone was very excited when the package arrived with our 4 bags of Natural Confectionery jellies, especially my little boy Sean who is 5 and Kayleigh 12. We tried them out over the weekend and they went down really well with everyone, myself and hubby included. Our favourtie were the party mix and the kids loved the Jelly Squirms, they really like fizzy sour sweets. Its great to know that you can get such tasty treats with no added colours and artificial flavours as some of the healthier options can just taste rubbery.


Many thanks for picking us to test these, the Mooney Family.

Thanks so much for having us take part in this trial.
I have bought the Jelly Snakes before and kids ate a few. This time they particularly like the party mix.
Daddy has enjoyed the Jungle Jellies this evening!!! Definitely would buy these more often for the kids because of the no artifical colours or flavours. I like them all!!!
The kids like fruit pastilles and cola bottles. Kids do enjoy their sweets, well my younger 2 do. My eldest only eats a certain type of sweets. Hes a bit fussier!!
Thanks again to you all for including us in the trial.

Thank you so much for the opportunity to try The National Confectionery Companyies jellies. The kids got so excited opening the parcel and saw the packs of jellies.(almost as excited as i was when i realised what it was)
Yes i would sometimes but the dinosaurs or snakes as a treat for my children who are dinosaur crazy.
My husband and four children loved the jelly squirms most out of the four packs. They said there was more flavour to them compared to the rest.
My 8 year old son said that there is alot of dark coloured sweets which he doesn't like as much as the orange, green or yellow jellies!!
I will definitely buy the jelly squirms for my family after this trial. Before the trial i would have been afraid to buy them in case they got hyper from the sugar on them but with the guarantee of no artificial colours and flavours they are the healthiest options plus they love them so there would be no waste.


Thank you again for the opportunity, we all enjoyed it immensely.

Delighted to be part of the trial. I would regularly buy The Natural Confectionery Company sweets as I find the kids love them. They are great value for money and I often find them on special in the supermarket, so I stock up on them. I usually buy Jelly Squirms as my son loves the sugary coating on them but I would also buy The Party Mix and Jungle Jellies.

It is important to me that they have No artificial colours, no artificial flavours and I don't mind taking a few bags of these sweets with us when us go to the cinema because of this. I find them great for sharing with the kids and some of the other fussy mums don't mind their kids eating them either. So this fact would influence me in buying these.

I liked all the flavours but the Jelly squirms were the favorite with the kids because of the sweet and sour taste of the sugary coating. These are usually my first choice when buying sweets but we do occasionally purchase The Jelly Bean Factory sweet products.

You would find these sweets in my shopping trolley as they taste good, the kids love them and I love the price!

Thank you so much for choosing our family to taste your products. First of all we have bought the Natural Confectionary Company jellies before. I would automatically go for them because of the lack of artificial colours and flavours, then of course they taste sooo good and then when they are on special they are such a good deal at only €1 per packet. We opened the Jelly snakes first and the fresh smell emanating from the pack was really tantalising :) My favourite would be the Jelly snakes but the boys favourite are the Jelly Squirms. I don't normally buy any other brand as I completely trust this brand and don't feel bad giving them to the boys as I would consider them a "healthy" treat! Thanks again for this opportunbity .. it was our pleasure :)

Thank you for letting us take part in this we had great fun trying them all We have purchased some of them before we usually get the Party mix or jelly snakes, We usually purchase them for our movie nights at the weekend because its good to treat my son but its very important to me that there are no Artifical colours or flavours so i feel better about buying these as his treat so this really influences my purchasing of the product. I personally prefered the jelly squirms as i love sour sweets but my son prefered the jelly snakes and party mix. I also purchase Haribo jellies as you can usually get a bag for a euro and the mini bags are handy as a treat. I would definitely buy these again as i feel like they are a lot better than other sweets in the shops because they are Natural and my son really enjoys them. Thanks again for letting us try them out they were delicious.

Kids were delighted to see the four bags of treats when we opened the package. We have tried all of the bags before and the kids love all of them but their favourites are the jelly squirms, closely followed by the jelly snakes. My own favourites are the jungle jellies.
We often buy a bag of the Natural confectionary company sweets as a treat, as they have no artificial colours and no artificial flavourings. Not only are the ingrdients natural, the jelly shapes are colourful and fun. Best of all, they taste great! I will definently buy this product again.

Thanks for a great trial!

Thank you for letting us take part in The Natural Confectionary Company Jelly Trial, we really enjoyed it.

I have purchased The Natural Confectionary Jellies on numerous occasions before, primarily for parties as they are great to stick out in a bowl and let the kids (and adults) loose on them. The Jelly squirms always go down a treat as does the Party Mix as you get a little of everything to taste. I have found they are a more regular addition to my shopping trolley over the summer as they are ideal for sharing at the cinema, on day trips and picnics and without the messy melt factor to contend with. I have also used them to decorate buns and cakes for the kids birthday parties, the snakes coiled on top of cupcakes in particular were a big hit.

I love the fact there are no added colours and flavours and it gives you peace of mind that when giving the kids treats during the day they won't suffer adverse affects from them later. I also love how soft they are and would not let my 2 1/2 yr old have any other types of jellies as some are quite hard and chewy.In fact I actually used a bag of party mix as a potty training incentive for her recently to great success.

My husband and I preferred the Jelly Squirms as did my 6 yr old son but he also loved the party mix as another of his favourites are the ones with the white foamy bottoms. My 2 1/2 yr old loved the jelly worms but that might be because the are quite long and she couldn't believe her luck getting such a big jelly treat.

We loved them all, as Jellies go they are delicious and definitely a family favourite which we will continue to buy. I also love the seasonal bags brought out at Halloween etc but would love to see bumper bags of small packets which are great for party bags and as individual treats. I haven't come accross these in my local supermarket.

Thanks again.

My 3 kids were waiting for the postman to arrive and were fighting over each other o open the package.
These Jellies are a firm favourite in our house with the kids and also myself and my husband sneaking one or two when kids aren't looking! I wouldn't buy them every week and usually as a treat and especially when they are on special. Maybe it's only me, but when they are on special there seems to be less in the pack! Maybe my imagination!! All the jellies are popular in our house but the sour ones and dino ones are favourites.
Definitely the fact that there are no artificial colours, flavours make them more attractive for me as a mother of 3 young kids. Out of the 4 packs we received, the jelly squirms were definitely the favourite among all 3, even the 2 year old! The Jungle jellies were the next favourite followed by the party mix, with the jelly snakes being least popular. I myself love the sour squirms!
If I'm shopping in Aldi I'll uuy a pack of jellies there. As I shop between Dunnes and Aldi, it depends what is on offer treat wise as to what I will buy. I usually have some kind of cereal bars also for snacks!
I will definitely buy these jellies again as they are a firm favourite in our house, pity they don't make bigger packs! ;)

Thank you for allowing us trial The Natural Confectionery Company Jellies, the kids & adults loved this one ;)

We regularly buy these range of sweets because of they have no artificial nasties in them. I would give the kids a few of them as a treat every couple of days, we usually buy the party mix & jelly snakes. They are also the only brand of sweets I would give to other children when visiting, playdates etc. Occasionally we buy Rowntrees puzzle shapes but its only for the novelty factor of the shapes. The kids don't eat a lot of sweets / treats so its usually these jellies or the fun size mixed bag of bars that end up in the trolley.

For our taste test for the jellies both adults & kids were given one of each jelly on a plate & everyone agreed that the jelly snakes were the nicest. We then did it again & the kids least favourite were the jungle jellies, the adults least favourite were jelly squirms.

I will continue to happily buy this range of jellies because of the no artifical colours, preservatives etc promise.

Again thank you for selecting us for this testing, it was great fun

Well, apparently, I’m the ‘best mum in the world’ according to my 6 year…and all because I signed up for this trial!! We had such fun…the excitement first of all when the packet arrived and I opened it up in front of them!!! We often have Natural Confectionary Company sweets in the house but this was the first time they had seen so many all at once!!!

I was introduced to the Natural Confectionary Company by my mother in law, when she calls to visit she always brings a packet, usually the Jelly Snakes. She knows that I’m not mad for the kids to eat too much sugar and I absolutely hate anything with artificial flavourings or colourings in them so by bringing the Jelly Snakes she’s in the good books with all parties…the kids and most importantly…me!!!! I often throw a packet myself into my trolley and always the Halloween ones in October (so I can do a sneaky ‘swop bad sweets for ‘good’ sweets in the trick or treat bags my kids come home with!!). I love the way they are often on special offer, you can pick up a bag for a €1 – so it doesn’t break the bank to treat the kids!

We took our trial extremely seriously…we had a notebook and pen to write down who favoured what…there was no need as neither the 6 year old, the 5 year old or the 2 year old could decide!!! Each one was a ‘favourite’!! For myself and my husband, we loved the Jelly Squirms…I had never bought this packet for the kids as I thought they’d be too sour (but they loved them!!!) – I will now be buying them for the adults and the kids!!! We really enjoyed trying them all out…the kids were so funny, taking their time tasting each variety, saying it was their favourite, me scribbling away in the notebook…next variety, ‘no, this is our favourite’!!! I gave up after that!!

The only other type of sweets I buy for the kids are the mini packets of buttons. We wouldn’t buy any other type of jellies…no need when the ‘NCC’ ticks all the boxes (especially the ‘no artificial colours/flavours’).

Thanks Natural Confectionary Company and Mummy pages for such a great trial…my 6 year old asked me to tell you that he’d like to get a job tasting all your sweets from now on…I can forward all his details if you’d like!!!

Needless to say, we all very much enjoyed this trial ! We have bought Natural Confectionery Company sweets before - not regularly, but for a treat. They have no artificial colours or flavours, but that wouldn't really influence us in our decision to buy Natural Confectionary Company sweets. Jelly Snakes are the usual choice in our house.

We 'tested' all four varieties. My husband and our five year old preferred the Jelly Squirms. Myself and our
three year old preferred the Jelly Snakes. We enjoyed the Jungle Jellies and Party Mix but didn't think they had quite the same flavour as the others.
We tend to also buy sweets from the Haribo range, but will definitely be buying from the Natural Confectionery Company sweets again - depending what's on offer. We'll stick with the Jelly Snakes, but now there is a new found favourite - we'll buy the Jelly Squirms too !

Many thanks for allowing me take part in this trial, my kids and i really enjoyed it.
I'd often buy the Natural Confectionary Company Sweets. The reason why i buy them is because of having no artificial colours or flavours. The only ones i hadn't purchased before were the jelly squirms.
I'd buy them as a treat now and again.
I have to say i liked all 4 flavours very much, couldn't pick out a favourite. My 7 year old daughter was the same, loved them all. My 4 year old daughter loved them all but wasn't gone on the Jelly Squirms, but that's because she won't eat any type of sour sweets anyhow.
I'd buy crisps of chocolate bars as a treat now and then.
I certainly will continue to purchase the Natural Confectionary Sweets. Having no artificial colours or flavours is the reason i buy them and i think that's very important. Also i think they are very reasonably priced. My kids love when they bring out the Snakes and Shamrocks every year for Patrick's Day.

Thanks for choosing us to take part in this trial we really enjoyed it!
We have bought The Natural Confectionary Company products before but only rarely as I try not to keep sweets in the house! Having had the four bags as part of the trial we will now include them in our weekly shop as I feel much more comfortable with them knowing the 'No artificial colours, no artificial flavours' guarantee now which is a big influence when i buy products. My favourites were the Jelly Squirms, hubby enjoyed the Jungle Gellies and Sadb enjoyed the Jelly Snakes we all loved the Party Mix but my Mother-in-Law scoffed those before we got too many of them :-)
We would definatley reccommend that other parents buy these sweets for their children ahead of other brands and as I said we will be buying them again!

Thanks for including us in this trial. We were very excited to receive the package, me in particular as I am pregnant and feel that the natural confectionary sweets are a treat that are healthier than the rest of the jellies on the market. I am a big fan of the Jungle Jellies as is my husband and we buy them on a regular basis. Our son loves the Jelly Snakes and in particular the purple and pink ones. He was not so fond of the orange ones. We all enjoyed the Party Mix and Jelly Squirms. As I mentioned I often buy The Natural Confectionery Co sweets when I do my shopping as i like that there are no artificial colours or flavours, so I feel that they aren't as bad for me and my son as other sweets on the market. I am more likely to eat these sweets as a treat on the weekend if we are watching a movie. Other treats we buy for our house are baked crisps, microwave popcorn and ice cream when the weather is good.
Thanks a lot for including us in this trial MummyPages, we all had a great time testing and tasting.
