About this word search

Kiwi treats have a long history. Toffee Pops are a Griffin's biscuit, the peanut slab is a Whittaker's chocolate bar, and coconut ice and Russian fudge are school gala staples. Lolly cake is made with malt biscuits and soft fruit puff lollies, rolled in coconut and sliced, and it turns up at almost every Kiwi birthday.

The grid is eighteen by eighteen and words can run in all eight directions, backwards as well. Spearmint leaves is the longest with fifteen letters, then pineapple lumps with fourteen. Pinky is the shortest at five, with Jaffas, snakes and eclair one behind at six. Toffee appears in both Toffee Pops and toffee apple, so check which one you have found. The J of Jaffas, jelly beans and jet planes shows up only three times.

For an adult games night, give everyone ten minutes and a pen, then vote on the best lolly on the list. Arguments about pineapple lumps against jet planes are part of the fun.
