In 1899, Charlie Thompson, a Bassett's sales representative, supposedly tripped over and dropped a tray of samples he was showing a client in Leicester, mixing up the various sweets. The client was intrigued by the new creation and the rest is history....
Allsorts are produced by many companies around the world, but are most popular in Europe, especially outside England! They are known as Engelse drop, Engelsk konfekt, Lakridskonfekt, Englantilainen lakritsiand more.
They have been re-interpreted by many (Including the likes of Haribo) but are typically made of liquorice, sugar, coconut, aniseed jelly, fruit flavourings.
Did you know that the original contained "chips, rocks, buttons, nuggets, plugs and twists" but that no record exists of what these were?
Let customers speak for us
Menthol liquorice heaven
As a child I ate Dutch liquorice aka Drop and a menthol sweet called Wybert. These green peas as exactly the perfect combination of these two!

Great stuff!
I have now tried several different flavours of this wonderful liquorice. It is excellent and I would recommend this brand. Ordering and delivery were seamless from Liquorice Heaven. Have ordered some more already!
Wonderful that I can get these in the UK
Great sweets, fast delivery, so pleased I can get these in the UK at a reasonable price. Keep up the good work!
Tasty
After seeing ‘how do they do it?’ on TV. I was interested in this brand. It’s tasty, not as harsh as I thought it might be. (Being from a generation that remembers Imps) and I think the anise adds to the flavour. I enjoyed it, shall buy again but I have three different boxes to get thru yet. And you have to be careful with liquorice!
So close to divine...
without an exotic silk Persian carpet to fly away on, these are a short cut to heaven... And back? Well, less of a joy - they’ve all gone.
Liquorice flavoured Gums
These reminded me so much of the rectangle shaped gums we used to get from the little shop near my grandparents house. They are very nice.
First class liquorice
A perfect product made the traditional way with no fillers of any kind. I was motivated to buy it after seeing the production process on "How it's Made". Perfectly wrapped and sent post haste. Very pleased.
Amazing!
Strong and the best thing ever!
Very moreish
Lovely taste, not too salty or string but strong enough. Usually the 1st to go in my house. Lovely
