Which sugar free sweet reminds you of spring?
Sugar free sweets can bring back so many childhood memories.  Some of those memories can be personal to you, perhaps a reminder of surreptitiously unwrapping a sugar free pear drop in the school playground or a favourite Aunt slipping you a forbidden bar of chocolate.Â
With Spring finally on its way, I have been thinking about the way some sweets seem to sum up a particular season or time of year. Â
Strawberry and Cream just has to be the Summer sugar fee sweet.  The shops are full of those enticing berries and Strawberries and Cream is the signature dish at Wimbledon.  I have vivid summer memories of "pick your own" but in my case, perhaps it was more "eat your own" ! Â
Autumn is summed up by sugar free Rosy Apples.  I always look forward to the first of the new seasons apples and the sugar free sweets really have a lovely fresh apple taste.  But hazel nuts also remind me of Autumn so perhaps I should also include some stevia Hazelnut Chocolate in my sugar free sweetie calender.Â
Liquorice does has a wintry feel to it, but as Winter is the season of coughs and colds, I am reminded more of sugar free Menthol and Eucalyptus !
So now I am left with Spring and I really need your help.  What should I choose ?  Sugar free Rhubarb and Custard reminds me of my favourite pudding, rhubarb crumble but maybe Spring is the time to start again, to try out a new sugar free sweet with a different taste and texture.Â
Have you got any more ideas!Â
