When Taylor Swift costarred with Dame Judy Dench in the much talked about 2019 movie adaption of Cats, Dench overheard Swift talking about a type of candy she had once tried in the U.K. called Squashies that was basically everything she loved in a sweet.
“I was like ‘This is legit candy,'” Swift recalled in an interview from the press tour. “It’s gummy, it tastes like a combination of strawberries and raspberries, also cherries, it’s pink and white, it’s all the things I love.”
And because Dame Judy Dench is one of the best people in the world, she surprised Swift by leaving about 10 packs of Squashies in her Cats trailer not long after she overheard her rave review. You don’t need to have Dench in your life to try Squashies for yourself — they’re actually available on Amazon.
Squashies, made by Smarties, are sweet and tangy raspberry-flavored candies that have a gummy, foamy texture similar to circus peanuts. They’re gluten- and peanut-free and you can grab a three-pack of Squashies for just $19 on Amazon right now.

“This is my second time ordering these dang things,” one reviewer wrote. “They are beyond addicting. The raspberry and cream flavor is so good. The texture is amazing. I am obsessed with these things.”
“Absurdly good. Found these by accident one time and then never again, had to search out where to order them from,” another Amazon shopper wrote. “They’re a little hard to the touch but soft to chew, very sweet, and consistently good. Not quite like a marshmallow but much softer than taffy in consistency. It’s more than I’d usually spend for candy not being a huge candy person, but it’s worth the order for three bags.”
And reviewers agree that the texture is incredibly unique but in the best way possible. “A strange consistency between a marshmallow and taffy but a good strange!” someone else said. “Stretchy and soft and chewy. Good sweet but not overwhelming flavor. Try not to eat them all at once!”
Taylor Swift loves them and you will too! Try Squashies out and you may just be addicted to your new favorite candy.
