Aniseed balls are a type of hard round sweet sold in the UK, Ireland, Malta, Canada, New Zealand and Australia. They are shiny and dark reddish brown, and hard like Gobstoppers, but generally only 1 cm across.
They were a staple traditional sweet in the 1950s and 1960s in Australia and New Zealand but have become rare in recent years.
