No Trick-or-Treat, but Some Candy

 

Boys and girls in New Zealand don't get to go Trick-or-Treating on Halloween. So instead I'll show you some lollies (candy) from New Zealand.

Pineapple Lumps, Jaffas and Chocolate Fish are lollies you can get here. Instead of saying that someone deserves a gold star, in New Zealand they say "you deserve a chocolate fish."

The white and pink lumps in front of the other candy are pieces of Turkish Delight, like Edmund ate in "The Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe." The inside is a gooey gel and the outside is covered in powdered sugar. This Turkish Delight is rose flavored (like the flower), but you can get other flavors like orange, lemon and pistachio.
