Sweet Success !

On the 13th of August (2 days ago) a Ballarat Mars Lolly Company (in the state of Victoria, Australia) announced it had signed a deal with Warnerbros. to produce the full range of Harry Potter Sweets. There will be 14 different sweets to be made which will be exported to over 30 countires around the world. The sweets will be available in November this year. Some of the sweets to be made are: Blood Flavoured lolpops, Ice Mice, Cockroach Clusters, Fudge Flies, Bertie Bott’s Every Flavour Beans, and Drooble’s Best blowing gum, just to name a few. This deal suggests almost guranteed success and will most probably be the most popular range of sweets ever to be made.

Interesting. Rumor has it Mars will be producing beans different from Jelly Belly with different flavours. I wonder if Cap Candy has the license to do these in the US.
