TAKIS BLUE HEAT ROLLED TORTILLA CHIPS
Back because of popular demand Takis Blue Heat, they are an extra hot, crunchy, spicy chilli pepper artificially flavored rolled corn tortilla chip in electrifying blue colour. These were initially a limited edition topped with a blue mystery spice powder, with a similar taste to Fuego that combine Hot Chili Pepper and Lime. This snack is essentially your standard tortilla chip, but instead of the signature triangle shape, it has been rolled up. This flavor was released in the U.S. in 2019.
The original Fuego flavor of hot chili pepper and lime is vegan. The Spicy BBQ Outlaw, Nitro (which is one part habanero chili, one part lime, and one part cucumber), and Blue Heat ( thy will turn your tongue blue) are also vegan.

ARK HOMEMADE CHAMOY SAUCE
This is a homemade Sweet & Sour Condiment using only the highest quality ingredients, ensuring a rich and tangy flavor. You can use this on candy, fruit or mixing a drink. This product contains no preservatives so please store in fridge and will last up to 4 months refrigerated. Product is vegan and Halaal certified. Chamoy is like an Asian sweet and sour sauce but with more heat and deeper tang. It still does contain chili powder it is spicy without having a searing heat and the sweetness of the fruit and sugar make it more balanced and if eating it in candy form, the sugary aspect becomes more pronounced and often there's a bit more salt to the food as well.
The origins of Chamoy are not based in Latin America but Asia. Most likely from the Japanese food umeboshi, a type of pickled ume fruit—ume being a type of small, tart plum or apricot. Or, it might have developed from crack seed, also called see mui, which a Cantonese word describing a salted and dried apricot snack is found in China. The Asian influence comes from centuries of migration, since the 1590’s, bringing their customs and food. Mexican chamoy must have evolved and developed into the staple spice blend and sauce many Mexican food lovers know today. As in Mexico, any frozen fruit drink garnished with chamoy are known as chamoyadas, whether they are shaved or blended.

DICKS SWEETS: TRADITIONAL SWEET MAKERS SINCE 1938
COCONUT ICE: Despite its name, there's no ice in coconut ice – just icing sugar, condensed milk, desiccated coconut and red food dye. This sweet and colorful fudge is traditionally made in two layers, with a white layer on the bottom and a pale pink layer on top.
CHOCOLATE NOUGAT BAR: A long rectangular shaped bar with white nougat in the center completely coated in milk chocolate.
TURKISH DELIGHT: Classic Rose flavoured sugar dusted oblong bar of Turkish delight.
Coconut ice was originally from Britain and the name from the appearance of the white looking like ice. This delicacy can be found in USA but under the name Neapolitan Coconut with the addition of a chocolate layer.
Nougat is derived from Occitan pan nogat, seemingly from Latin panis nucatus 'nut bread' (the late colloquial Latin adjective nucatum means 'nutted' or 'nutty'). There are two types of Nougat one the most popular the white or Persian, since the 7th century, and the second the brown a European concoction.
Turkish Delight or Lokum has a rather unknown origin except it has been produced in Turkey and Iran (Persia) as early as the late 18th century. A confectioner named Bekir Effendi, opened a sweet shop in Istanbul in 1776, and gets the credit. In the west we have to thank some unknown British traveler, because he got fond during his travels shipped cases to Britain under the name of Turkish Delight. It became a delicacy amongst Europe’s high society, who would exchange pieces of Turkish Delight wrapped in silk or lace handkerchiefs as elegant gifts.
Dicks Sweets is a family run business that has been trading on and off since 1938. They still continue to hand make all their products using the same recipes as before, no added preservatives in the manufacturing process and still done over gas fires in trusty handcrafted copper pots. The gelatine is Halaal certified.
