Aniseed balls are small, hard, deep-red sweets with a strong, long-lasting aniseed flavour. They're one of the oldest British sweet-shop classics and still a favourite with liquorice and aniseed fans. Ours are the Kingsway vegan recipe.

If you love aniseed, try Jelly Spogs, cough candy or our liquorice range.

Questions

What are aniseed balls?

Aniseed balls are small, round, hard British sweets flavoured with aniseed, which tastes a lot like liquorice. You suck them slowly and the flavour lasts.

Do these aniseed balls have a seed in the middle?

No. Older recipes had a seed at the centre; these vegan Kingsway ones don't.

Nice little treat. Pleasant, just a little mild for me.

Wilfreds sweet shop — our team and stores

Who?

We've been doing this since 2010 — starting with a small shop in Uxbridge.

From there, Wilfreds grew: Aylesbury, Stratford-upon-Avon, and Cambridge — a little shop on Kings Parade, opposite King's College. Four shops across sixteen years. Traditional sweets, genuinely passionate about what we sell.

The physical shops have closed. But the ethos hasn't. We're now online — and still growing.

& Why?

He's had over 30 brain surgeries, some really tough times. The most remarkable, resilient character.

Wilfreds is so much more than just another shop. We're trying to do something special here — a business with a real reason to exist, named after the person who inspires it.

10% of our profits go to FaceValue, part of Great Ormond Street Hospital. A handwritten note explaining why goes in every single parcel we send.
