When Taylor Swift calls something “legit candy,” you know it’s something special. The global superstar doesn’t hand out compliments lightly, so it’s no surprise fans have taken notice. The candy she’s talking about? Swizzels Squashies—a soft, fruity treat from the UK that’s quickly become a must-try for candy lovers everywhere.
What Exactly Are Squashies?
Imagine a chewy candy that’s incredibly soft—almost like a marshmallow and gummy had a baby. That’s Squashies. Made by Swizzels, these candies come in bold, fruity flavors, with Raspberry & Milk and Drumstick (Raspberry & Vanilla) being the most popular. Unlike regular chewy sweets, Squashies have a light, airy texture that practically melts on your tongue.
How Taylor Swift Discovered Them
Back in 2019, while filming Cats alongside Dame Judi Dench, Taylor recalled trying a candy in the UK that she couldn’t stop thinking about. During an interview, she described Squashies as “legit candy” and mentioned how much she enjoyed their unique gummy texture and burst of fruit flavor.
In a sweet twist, Dench later surprised her co-star by leaving a bunch of Squashies in her trailer. A thoughtful gesture—and one that sparked a candy craze.
Where You Can Find Them
You don’t need to be on a movie set to get your hands on these. Squashies are available online and ready to ship, even if you’re outside the UK. Whether you’re a Swiftie or just curious, these sweets are worth a try.
