Nuts are a key ingredient in sweet-making. With their many types and flavours, they add nuance and texture to recipes. Simple nut pastes can be cooked and moulded by hand, as well as mixed with orange rind and coated with melted chocolate, sandwiched between hazelnuts or stuffed into dates. Liquorice root and aniseed are key to intensely flavoured drops, brittle shards and chewy sticks, and the range on offer will please even the most ardent liquorice-lover.
