Jelly Sweets

Jelly sweets are soft, chewy confectionery made by setting a sweetened mixture with a gelling agent, then shaping it into small pieces. They are a familiar treat to enjoy on their own, share with family and guests, or set out in a bowl at gatherings. Many people also use them to decorate cakes and desserts, or add them to small treat bags for children's parties and celebrations. At Dekenet Al Nes, jelly sweets are sold loose by the kilo, so you can take just the amount you need. Dekenet Al Nes is a package-free grocery store in Baaqline, in the Chouf, where customers are encouraged to bring their own containers and refill them, helping to cut down on plastic waste and single-use packaging.
