Black Jack (confectionery)

Black Jack is a type of "aniseed flavour chew" according to its packaging. It is a chewy, gelatin-based confectionery. Black Jack is manufactured under the Tangerine Confectionery Barratt brand in Spain and the UK. In the 1920s Trebor Bassett manufactured them, and the wrapper showed gollywogs on it. An example of it can be seen at the V&A Museum of Childhood. Barrett’s have now made Fruit Salad & Black Jacks suitable for vegetarians. They contain no artificial colourings or flavourings.
