Autumn is the time of year when many food & drink businesses usher in a new wave of range additions, seasonal selections and packaging refreshes as food & drink businesses reset for the all-important run up to Christmas.
The ‘confectionery creatives’ at Stockley’s certainly haven’t been idle, which is why this September will see the highly anticipated arrival of Chocolate Candy Cane Sweets to their flourishing gift carton offer PLUS a packaging refresh for their time-honoured Lancashire Mix.
Chocolate Candy Cane Sweets
Resplendent in their red & white striped, barber sign livery, this bite-sized take on the classic Victorian candy cane combines a cool peppermint shell with a rich, dark chocolate core.
“Here at Stockley’s, we wanted to combine all the best traits of nostalgic seasonal classics with an unexpected modern twist. In this instance we’re talking about a timeless cooling peppermint that cuts through the crisp confectionery shell with a decadent, dark chocolate centre; creating an enchanting, two-textured treat with a decadent twist.”

Lancashire Mix
In recent times Stockley’s has been wrongfooted by the perennial success of its Lancashire Mix, a gloriously random jumble of Pear Drops, Rhubarbs & Custards, Rosy Apples, Strawberries & Creams AND chewy centred Cola Cubes & Pineapple Chunks that offers a proud balance of bold flavours, happy childhood memories and enviable ‘sweet stamina’ (don’t dissolve in blink of an eye).
The Lancashire prefix is essentially the tipping of the hat to the region’s proud confectionery roots and a long overdue celebration of so many cult sugar confectionery classics being housed together in one generously proportioned bag.
