Close up of sweets

I did an experiment with sweets (one of which is in my port folio) please tell me what you think and how it can be improved please?

Sweet indeed. How could it be improved even more? 1, 2 and 4 could be set more in the centre, I think

Moved to the correct place

#1 This is the stand-out shot for me. Really nice but a little off in centering and also slightly tilted I think. Alignment really is critical for this type of shot.
#2 This looks very promising. I think a greater depth of field is needed here though so smaller aperture or focus stacking? Nice choice of background to harmonise with the wrappers.
#3 Sorry, subject and lighting just don't work for me.
#4 I don't think this background enhances the subject at all. Something dark and without a distracting pattern is called for - like shot #1.

Number 1 for me
Also one of my favourite sweets

I like Jazzies as well, there's the chocolate version

I'm not a sweet eater, your photos are nice and sharp , but crop them so the the glass dish is central .
I prefer the photo's with a black background ....jeff....

Want to try Smarties next.

I like No1.

I haven't produced an image like this myself so please feel free to take these comments with a pinch of salt

As others have said the crop could be a bit more central and you just sliced the bottom of the bowl off.

What's slightly off putting to me is the reflection in the glass of the light source which looks to be a window and I've spent as much time trying to figure what's on your window sill as looking at the subject.

I have an awful lot to learn about lighting myself so maybe the more knowledgeable here could comment on how that reflection could be enhanced/avoided

What Gwing says

with the addition of

#1 mask out the window reflection, and brighten up the sweets themselves in editing. and crop it so it's centred
