Also this Christmas period, Quality Street fans can find a new shaped The Purple One sweet, available exclusively in a limited number of The Purple One Bags.

We know how iconic Quality Street sweets are and we have made sure that it is the same great tasting Purple One and Orange Crunch that people know and love inside their iconic coloured wrappers,” Jemma Handley, senior brand manager for Quality Street, said.
