Bubblegum Pencil

The Bubblegum Pencil sounds like a novelty and turns out to be one of the good ones. A long pink candy pencil with a soft, slightly stretchy chew, a smooth white fondant through the middle and that sweet bubblegum flavour you'd recognise anywhere. Nothing to spit out afterwards.

Made by Sweetzone, who specialise in halal sweets, so the gelatine is halal certified beef gelatine. The pencil is a soft fruit candy casing rather than a true liquorice, so it chews closer to a fruit chew than a Rotella.

They belong in a pencil case with Strawberry Pencils and Rainbow Pencils, or in a bubblegum bag with Bubblegum Pigs for something that looks like a birthday party.
