sherbet lemons

Tart fizzy sweets

Sherbet lemons are a traditional British hard candy with a tart lemon-flavored shell surrounding a fizzy, powdery sherbet center.

The contrast between the smooth exterior and the effervescent filling makes them distinctive.

They appear memorably in the Harry Potter series as Dumbledore's password and favorite sweet: Sherbet lemon?
