It's always fun trying to find the best sweet shops nearby - the
sweeties you ate and loved as a child or even the sweeties you never ate
a child due to teeth-related horror stories! Either way you feel
transported wen you walk into the highly decorated establishments with
shelves upon shelves with the likes of chocolate, boiled sweet and
nougat. On one particular occasion I was transported to a world of
childhood fantasy as a entered a shop I never would have as a child, Mrs
Kibble's on Brewer's Street. Without truly knowing the average price of
traditional sweets I cannot say whether or not the prices are
reasonable, and seeing as I really enjoy eating sweets I don't know what
price I would find extortionate. All this in mind, I felt that after
buying the parcels of sugary joy I had not lost much weight in my pocket
and i still consider the price acceptable.
There are some who enjoy eating sweets without giving much thought to anything past the enjoyment of consumption and there are others who enjoy both the taste of the sweets and puddings as well as keeping an eye on their daily intake. I've found that frozen yogurts are perfect for both persons. Establishments such as Chill Box and Snog offer frozen yogurts low in fat with a variety of toppings.
The fantastic thing about Chill Box is the international aspect of it. The first time I purchased a frozen treat was on an extremely hot summer's day in Greece. After this first visit I immediately decided going back again the next time I was able, and indeed I did go back a few more times. It was some months later that I came across the same fantastic establishment in Brussels on an equally hot day.
The variety of toppings available is perfect for both persons of intake-measuring to sugar-devouring as you have the choice of fruits, chocolates, biscuits and little sugary sprinkles. I have yet to go to the Chill Box in England, yet have had the absolute pleasure of ordering a Snog. Not only are the products delectable, but the helpfulness of the workers is also admirable. When hearing that I didn't know the ordering system, which is delightfully simple, the gentleman serving me was extremely helpful (and also quite charming). The great thing about frozen yoghurt is that you feel like you are treating your body by eating a sweet snack, but do not feel ill after possibly overdoing it with the sugary adornments as the yoghurt itself is light. The only thing to be sure of is that you do I fact like the product you are buying as, as with everything, not everyone has the same taste and the cost can seem quite pricey. The opening times of Snog are quite peculiar as well as it opens at around noon each day and closes around midnight, closing times vary depending on what day it is. All this considered, Snog is a great place to go to when you feel the need for a light, sweet snack in the late afternoon, post-shopping excursions or casual nights out.
The more generic sweet shops are slightly more cheeky to deal with. They act as great pick-and-mixes, allowing you to forget the ideal price you would like to pay as you siphon a great collection o sweets that, lets be serious here, weren't exactly made with the greatest care. - having just finished my excursions I was pulled in by the attractive force acting on me by the shops brightly coloured decor. I blocked out the One Direction songs playing through the shops speakers and concentrated on the sweets displayed. I eventually managed to leave the shop, but not after purchasing a few little chocolate hearts, a large marshmallow and other sweet treats. What I failed to take into account was the hardness of the gigantic marshmallow as the sweet containers are open to the elements, which tends to harden soft sweets. If you are one who enjoys top notch sweeties then stores such as the one I've just mentioned are not for you. If , however you care little for the extravagant goods, than these One-Direction-screaming shops are more likely to satisfy you.
