Lemon Drops

Lemon drops are small, round, lemon-flavoured boiled sweets that you suck slowly. They have a bright, tangy taste with a sweet finish, and they are usually a pale yellow colour.

Lemon drops suit anyone who likes a classic sweet-shop sweet. They are easy to keep in a jar, a bag or a car glovebox.

What Lemon Drops Taste and Feel Like

Lemon drops are hard sweets, so they dissolve slowly in the mouth. The lemon taste is sharp at first and then turns sweeter as the sweet gets smaller.

Because they are hard, they are best sucked rather than bitten. This makes one sweet last a good while, which is handy on long journeys or at a desk.

Ways to Enjoy Lemon Drops

Lemon drops work well as a simple sweet treat and as a little extra in the kitchen. Here are some common ways to use them:

  • Fill a sweet jar for the kitchen, office or living room
  • Add to party bags, favours and gift hampers
  • Keep a few in your bag for car journeys and train trips
  • Crush and sprinkle over lemon cupcakes, iced biscuits or a lemon drizzle cake
  • Make "stained glass" biscuits, where crushed sweets melt into a cut-out window in the dough

How to Crush Lemon Drops for Baking

Crushing lemon drops is simple and needs no special tools. Put a few sweets in a strong freezer bag, wrap the bag in a tea towel and tap it with a rolling pin.

Aim for small, even pieces. Fine crumbs melt quickly and give a smooth, glassy finish, while bigger pieces keep a crunchy bite on top of a cake or biscuit.

Lemon Drops FAQ

Are lemon drops hard or chewy?

Lemon drops are hard boiled sweets. They are meant to be sucked slowly and not chewed.

Can you bake with lemon drops?

Yes, you can crush lemon drops and use them as a decoration or melt them into biscuit windows. Bake them only on top of or inside biscuits, and let them cool fully before touching, as melted sugar stays very hot.

Are lemon drops very sour?

Lemon drops taste tangy rather than harshly sour. The lemon flavour comes first and the sweetness builds as the sweet dissolves.

Please check the allergen and ingredient details on this page before you buy. Add lemon drops to your basket for your next sweet jar or batch of lemon bakes.

Disclaimer

We take great care when preparing and securely packing every order; however, during transportation, parcels may be handled by several parties, including the courier, and despite our best efforts, minor cosmetic damage such as dents, marks, scuffs or damage to external packaging may occasionally occur. Minor cosmetic damage that does not affect the product’s safety, quality or intended use will not normally be considered a product defect. This is particularly applicable to products supplied in cans, tins, plastic containers, boxes or similar packaging. If you receive a product that is broken, leaking, materially damaged, unsafe, unusable or otherwise not as described, please contact us within 24 Hours of delivery by email or telephone and provide your order number, details of the issue and clear photographs of the damaged product and packaging. We may require further information or evidence to investigate the matter and, where necessary, may take up to 14 days to complete our investigation. Where damage appears to have occurred during delivery, we may need to raise a claim with the courier, and you may be required to complete and return any Damage on Receipt (DOR) form or other documentation requested by the courier before the claim can be processed. Some products we sell are price-marked or display a manufacturer’s recommended or printed retail price. Please note that our online selling prices may differ from the price printed on the product because online orders involve additional costs such as picking, packing, packaging materials, warehouse handling, payment processing, website administration and delivery-related costs. You may therefore receive a product displaying a printed or recommended retail price that is lower than the price you paid online. The price you agree to pay is the online selling price displayed on our website at the time you place your order, and the presence of a lower printed or recommended retail price on the packaging does not, by itself, mean that the online purchase price was incorrect. Product images displayed on our website are for illustration and presentation purposes only. Actual product packaging, branding, design, colour, size, shape or appearance may vary depending on availability, manufacturer, batch or packaging updates. Such variations do not necessarily indicate that the product supplied is different from the product ordered, provided that the product itself corresponds to the description and specifications stated on the website. We ask customers to check their order and products as soon as reasonably possible after delivery and contact us promptly if there is any material damage, fault, incorrect item or issue with the goods.
