Everyone loves sweets………yes?
When I was younger I was desperate to work in a sweetie factory, inspired by Caractacus Potts and his ‘Toot Sweets’ from my favourite childhood film; Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
Sadly, my childhood wish never came true, but it still could!
To celebrate 90 years of sweet inventions including the mighty Drumstick, iconic Love Hearts and best-selling Squashies, Swizzels are challenging YOU to create a brand new sweet for them to make in their factory, and the prize is a tour of their factory in Derbyshire to see their sweet come to life.
To Enter:
Step One:
Go to www.swizzels.com/invent and visit the inspiration gallery to get those creative juices flowing
Step Two:
Brainstorm ideas for your ideal sweetie……..what will it taste like, what will it look like and how would you eat it?
Step Three:
How are you going to tell Swizzels about your ideal sweets? Are you going to cook up a storm in the kitchen, can you draw up a recipe with how your finished article might look or film yourself explaining your sweet vision.
Step Four:
Go to www.swizzels.com/invent and submit your sweetest invention, with your name and contact details, so you can be contacted if you win, or upload your sweetest invention via Swizzels social media channels using the hashtag #MySwizzels

Oh my gosh, we love sweets here, and not just the kids! Great competition but I’m so much better eating them than designing them, I’ll leave that bit to the children who I’ll get designing today
I’m going to tell my husband about this competition – it is his absolute dream as he has such a big sweet tooth 🙂
Oh I love these sweets! I can’t believe they’ve been going that long!
I love sweets and choose them over chocolate any day! I would love to work in a sweet shop!!
My ideal competition prize, I love sweets!
Oh wow, I remember all these sweets from when I was little. I use to love the double dips 🙂
What an amazing prize! I must get the children to come up with something over the holidays.
Sounds like a brilliant prize. My favourite sweet was the Wham bar and I don’t think anything I designed could top it!
I like this competition a lot. I know many people in my life that would love this. It would be nice to win.
Great competition – shame there’s not a kiddies section. We’re addicted to Squashies at the moment x
