This ghastly surprise left her feeling like her mouth was "on fire".
Lisa, from Rugby, Warwickshire, said: "I remember the moment I crunched down on a handful of the ‘sweets’ - and instantly felt explosions in my mouth.
“I felt a burning pain straight away.
“I’m still in agony and nearly lost a tooth after it cracked from the explosion.
“That moment I crunched down was terrifying, I had no idea what was happening.
“I felt explosions in my mouth followed by a burning pain.
“The ‘fun snaps’ were with all the other sweets, and the packaging was similar, so it was an easy mistake to make.
“I just keep thinking what could have happened if I’d given them to a child - they could’ve blown her mouth apart."
It's been a month since the accident, and Lisa says the burns have healed but she is still waiting on an appointment to fix her dental injuries.
Lisa also expressed dismay that such a product would be on the same shelf as sweets aimed at children.
“Worst of all, they were amongst all the children’s sweets - who knows what could have happened if a child had made the same mistake as me?" she said.
