Our ingredients

Where everything comes from

Where our sweets come from, and what to check if you have a dietary need or an allergy.

Sourcing

Where our sweets come from

We buy our sweets through a UK confectionery wholesaler, from makers including Kingsway, Haribo, Vidal, Candycrave, Bubs, Fazer and Barratt. The jar builder names the maker on every sweet, so you can see exactly what goes into a jar before you order.

Every jar and cone is then filled by hand in Brentwood.

Our fudge comes to us ready-made, and we pack it by hand into our kraft gift boxes.

Allergens and dietary

What is in the jar

Common allergens

We pack every order in a kitchen that also handles gelatine and common allergens, so our sweets are not suitable for anyone with a severe allergy. If you or the recipient has an allergy, please get in touch before ordering.

Vegan and halal

Sweets marked vegan and halal-suitable carry those tags in the jar builder, taken from the makers’ own packaging, and a filter there shows only those sweets. Our sweet cones come in a vegan and halal mix too.
