People are being warned to look out for chocolates that are being disguised as classic Christmas treats.
It comes after a police warning where a "dangerous" substance was found in sweets meaning to look like Quality Streets, Celebrations and Aero Minis, the force said.
Instead, they were called 'Quality Heat', 'Calibrations' and 'Ammo Minis' and wrapped in colourful packets.

According to Birmingham Live, people are now being asked to double check any wrappers they are given after cops in West Yorkshire found £300k worth of edible cannabis disguised as Christmas chocolates.
A spokesperson for the force said: "Please be vigilant if you see these, they can contain dangerous amounts of THC and people sometimes do not realise the danger of consuming these items."
They were expected to be distributed from West Yorkshire to areas across the country. In March this year police seized £300,000 worth of edible cannabis that gang members disguised as sweets to target children.
Officers also seized around £2,000 of cannabis, £10,000 worth of crack cocaine and over £6,750 worth of heroin.

Detective Supt Fiona Gaffney, head of Serious and Organised Crime at West Yorkshire Police, said: “County Lines and the organised crime linked to it has a significant impact on the people of West Yorkshire and the communities we serve. It’s linked to violence and the exploitation of many vulnerable people.”
“Our aim is to disrupt these activities and to reassure people in our county that we won’t tolerate county lines criminality anywhere in West Yorkshire.”
On Twitter, people have been reacting to the police warning, with one writing: "Disguise. Read the packet it's quite obvious what's in there."
Another said: "Why is there a warning issued. If you buy these products surely you know what you want to get. If you don't, you won't be buying it."
