The bag you reach into without looking, because every flavour in it is good. This is Hermann the German's mixed Bavarian fruit assortment: a spread of traditional German fruit hard candies made the way small German confectioners have made them for generations, with sugar, glucose syrup and a clean citric bite rather than a wall of artificial flavour. What sets it apart is the colouring. Elderberry extract does the deep reds and purples, and concentrates of carrot, red beet juice, apple, spirulina and pumpkin do the rest, which gives the bag its slightly jewelled, old world look instead of the flat neon of most fruit candy. Each piece dissolves slowly and finishes clean. Keep it in a dish where guests can find it and watch how fast it goes.
