Fun Works Lolly Shop

The Lolly Shop is amazing! Everything about it screams nostalgia. If I could, I’d give it 5 stars. Unfortunately the prices are far too expensive meaning I probably wouldn’t buy anything from here again.
When the store first opened this year, I was so excited. I didn’t know what to buy first! Pop Tarts won me over because it’s been far too long since I’ve actually seen them available to buy. The different m&ms also won me over. Peanut m&ms? Yes please! Pretzel m&ms? Yes please! Coconut m&ms? Yes please! Let’s just give me all the m&ms.
It’s delicious, of course. We all know that. Maybe it’s just me but would you pay $ 7 for a small sized box of Lucky Charms? Probably not. Unless you were craving it beyond belief.

Things are so different nowadays. When we want lollies we just buy a bag from Coles. It’s good to be able to get back in touch with my childhood and step into a shop dedicated to lollies.
This place has everything, from the old favourites to imported goodies. I brought lots from here for my wedding, for our lollie bar (which unsurprisingly was a massive hit).
My fave would have to be the homemade fudge (soooo smooth and rich). I come in here and see so many lollies I haven’t seen since I was a kid.

How could I give a lolly shop less than four stars? They’d need to be selling cat poo to get any less.
Thankfully, this place is much better than foil wrapped cat droppings. Unless you really don’t like Hersheys. As it happens, I do. And I bought quite a few bits and pieces here when I stumbled upon this place.
You’ll find plenty of gifts for your sweet-​toothed friends here. I did. The trouble was that my friends never saw the gifts I’d bought them, because somebody ate them. I don’t know who, I swear.
Great place.

This crazy spot of pink in the middle of West Lakes shopping centre has a fantastic array of old style and hard to find sweets, as well as bags of lollies at great prices. They specialise in imported sweets, like Hersheys, Yorkie and Reeses Pieces, as well as imported soft drinks.
They have the largest range of Pop Tarts I’ve ever laid eyes on, including flavours like «choc fudge», «cookies and cream», «s’mores» and «ice crème sandwich.»
They also sell fresh fudge at $ 3.95 per 100gram blocks. Mmmm, fudge.
This place is a child’s dream and a mother’s worst nightmare. You can get a sugar-​high just thinking about all the things you’d buy if you had the money, weighed 20 kilos less and knew it wouldn’t give you a headache.
One little favourite of mine is the gob-​stopper, an enormous ball of sugar on a stick in wacky colours, for only $ 1.50! Pity any of my friends with children would hate me for giving them these, though the reactions on both sides would probably be worth it.
This seems to be new to the centre, so isn’t yet listed on the directories, yet it’s right out the front of the West Lakes Newsagency. Just look out for pink and you’ll no doubt spot it.
