You can take anything through (within reason) that you buy at the shops after security eg in the departure area including liquids and sweets.

No problem there. I often travel with sandwiches I make from home and have never had any problems at all.

i think i buy a few from my local sweet shop and see how it goes. i only went away last year but really cant remember and by googling it, it doesnt give a positive yes or no. x

As has been indicated, the only security restrictions are those relating to liquids. See here:

Since the definition of 'liquids' includes pastes, gels, etc, there's a remote possibility that you might experience problems if you try to take large amounts of Turkish Delight through security but you can fill your flight bag with humbugs with no problems at all.

Sweets are OK as long as they don't have any liquid or gel inside. Fruit is also OK so a bag of grapes or oranges are good for the thirst. You can take up 100ml liquid in a container no bigger than 100 ml and this must be in a resealable bag.
