Can anyone tell me what a "Peppermint Humbug" is?  I guess it must 
be some kind of sweet?

Doddie here:

A humbug is a brown candy with beige stripeds....tastes like 
chocolate mint and caramel...

The actual candy is brown with beige strips along the top..(hence 
the name as it looks somewhat like a sriped beetle--like a ladybug, 
but five to six times bigger but with brown and beige(tan) stripes). 
I hope this helps...

Me mum loved humbugs! LOL
