Advantages: Yummy, juicy, lovely flavour

Disadvantages: Can only get them from M&S

These are the yummiest jelly sweets I have ever tasted. The foam is soft and juicy and they have a sweet and unusual raspberry flavour. The sweets are shaped like a cartoon pig's head and are all pink, although you can also get a different flavour and colour called Penny Pigs (these are yellow), Percy Pig and Pals, and the new Percy Piglets.

The packaging is a bright fuscia pink colour with a picture of 'Percy Pig' on the front. They come in a plastic packet. You can get them in small (170g) or large (340g) packets and Marks & Spencer often have them on special offer (buy one packet get another half price). I always pick a packet or two up at the tills when I have done my shopping! I get them off everyone for Christmas as stocking fillers and they are always gone by the New Year.

They are a pale pink colour foam sweet with darker pink jelly inside the pigs' ears. And of course I justify eating them with the fact that they are fat free, and therefore are SO much healthier than chocolate - and they contain REAL FRUIT JUICE! How many other excuses do you need to sample these little treats? They also contain gelatin and have around 350 calories per 100g.

Anyone who offer one to at work loves them - I have never yet come across anyone who isn't keen on them. One word - delicious! (And unbelievably moreish too!)

They are available in any M&S Food Hall or Simply Food store.

Summary: If you haven't already tried them you are missing out!
