Original Bonds London Rhubarb & Custard Bag Sugar Coated Rhubarb & Vanilla Flavored Boiled Sweets Imported From The UK The Best Of British Candy

This are big hard candies with a tangy-sweet beginning and custardy smooth finish. Really unusual and delicious. Good value for the price, because each piece lasts a long time.

I'll admit, the pairing of rhubarb and custard struck this Texan's mind as an extremely odd mixup. In fact, it was just odd enough to be irresistible, forcing me to want to try it. Boy, am I glad I did! The first sweet I ate hit me in two phases: first, I got the mellow sweetness of the custard. Then, the lovely tartness of the rhubarb faded in. What a delightful sensation! Subsequent tastings didn't have the same two phase experience, as both flavors came on at once. Still, I enjoyed the sweet almost at the same level. I let my wife and my son try some, and while neither of them got the two phase experience I got at first, both really liked them. Verdict: very good, bordering on spectacular, would definitely buy again.

I absolutely love this candy!! I have ordered several times. It is hard to find anything in the U.S. that is rhubarb flavoured besides jam. However, the last time I ordered this candy it was terrible. I don’t know if it was old and expired or what but it tasted terrible. Very weird texture and taste. I didn’t even eat it, I threw it away. And for me to throw this candy away instead of trying to eat it you know it was bad. I have been hesitant to order more. This was the only time I have had a problem with it so I will probably order again. This would be a 5 star review except for this last experience.

Flavor is unique and size of candy, shape makes it easy to have in your mouth. A very smooth taste

When it says "boiled sweet" I think it's going to be a soft candy. Not so, this is a very hard candy and they should state that in their product description. The bag is tiny compared to what you pay, and there should be some indication of size in the product photos, like with a ruler or in someone's non-photoshopped hand. The flavor is really good, but I don't think I'll be purchasing again since I wanted a soft candy.

I ordered two bags of these candies last week and just ordered three more. They are expensive but are my new addiction. They have a fine sugar coating and the candy itself has a wonderful flavor. If you get one with lots of rhubarb flavor it’s a special treat. Will definitely be ordering these again.These are hard candies so if you are looking for something chewy or soft these aren’t for you. They are really really delicious though.UPDATE: I’ve changed my review from a 5 to 1. I’ve ordered these twice in the past and they were delicious. I just received my 3rd order and they taste horrible. Nothing like the two previous orders. They don’t look the same either. I’m not fond of the taste and wouldn’t order them again due to the inconsistency in the shape and taste. What happened??

Taste is reminiscent of berries & cream, or more specifically berries in yogurt, like a raspberry yogurt. The candies themselves were bigger than I expected them to be, which is nice because then they last a while. Super delicious!

I wasn't expecting these to be hard candies (didn't realize that's what "boiled sweets" were), but they're delicious. The rhubarb flavor could be stronger and a little more tart, but the custard flavor is perfect and overall they're really good! I ended up going through the bag and breaking the candies in half since a single piece is rather a mouthful. Rhubarb flavored things seem to be a rarity in the States so it was interesting to find a rhubarb flavored candy!
