Does anyone still manufacture miniature licorice allsorts?

Back in the early 1980s, my parents and I traveled from Toronto to
London, England, for a two week vacation.  As we wandered through the
winding streets, we came across a small shop which sold miniature
licorice allsorts.

I remember being delighted with them.  They were tiny, of course, but
they were also soft and fresh, as if they had been made that very
morning.

Since then, I have lived in Toronto, Boston, and now Tampa, and I have
never found miniature licorice allsorts.  The regular-size allsorts
are sold in supermarkets, but they always feel hard and stale, never
fresh.

I searched Google for both ?miniature licorice allsorts? and regular
?licorice allsorts?, and I used both spellings (licorice and
liquorice), but the results were disappointing.  The miniatures seemed
to be associated with dollhouses (!?!), and the regular ones looked
like the bags found in supermarkets, which I fear will be hard and
stale.

Where can I get miniature licorice allsorts, or even regular-size
allsorts, that are fresh?

To pinkfreud-ga:  I am grateful for the link you provided, but I found
out the hard way the their advertisement was misleading.  Their
product is not "mini" at all -- just regular licorice allsorts.

To david1977-ga:  Thank you for providing two links.  Unfortunately,
the first link is not for mini allsorts, just regular size.  The
second link is the same query that I submitted to Google for
searching. (A lot of web pages, but just try to find one that offers
"miniature" licorice allsorts.)

What about you folks in London, England?  Do you know of a business
that still makes miniature licorice (or liquorice) allsorts?
