Sprogs (Jelly Spogs)

Sprogs, often referred to as Jelly Spogs or Jelly Buttons, are a classic British confectionery staple most famously known as the pink and blue aniseed-flavored pieces found within Liquorice Allsorts. The term 'Sprogs' is historically linked to Yorkshire dialect, where it has been used to refer to sweets or children. These treats are characterized by their firm jelly center and a distinctive bobbly nonpareil sugar coating.

Traditionally, these sweets have been produced by major British confectioners like Bassett's, which is now part of the global snacking giant Mondelēz International. While they are a core component of mixed gelatin-based bags, they are also sold independently by traditional sweet shops across the UK. Today, the brand and its associated recipes are managed under the Cadbury and Bassett’s umbrella, ensuring their continued presence in the global confectionery market.
