About Barratt
Barratt dates to 1848 and is the home of a set of British sweets that are almost archaeological: Dip Dab, Flumps, Black Jack, Fruit Salad, Wham Bar and Refreshers. Most are sold as penny sweets or in sharing bags, and the brand's value lies less in any one line than in a shelf of names that several generations recognise on sight.
