Whatever happened to... Coals?
Hot coals from newcastle
This may not be the actual name of the sweet, but the were like sour pips only black, aniseed tasting almost, and the got hot and turned red when you sucked them. they were available about 10 years ago.

I remeber these as "coals from newcastle", a strawberry fizz-bomb covered in black sour kali/sherbet. I used to love these back in '82.
