Build your bag

Tap a sweet to drop it in. Tap again for another. We weigh it, twist the top and pop it in the post, or keep it on the counter for you.

      03 / How a sweet gets made

      Cooked slow, set cold

      1. Cook

        Fruit, sugar and pectin bubble in a copper pan until it ribbons off the spoon.

      2. Colour

        Colour comes from fruit and veg concentrates, stirred in just before pouring.

      3. Cold set

        Moulds rest overnight so every bear has a proper bounce when you squeeze it.

      4. Sugar or shine

        A roll in sour sugar, or a polish of glaze for that glassy gleam.

      05 / Good questions

      Before you bite

      Are any sweets vegan or gelatine free?

      Yes. Our rings, beans and gumdrops set with pectin. Every jar on the wall has a little tag so you can pick with confidence.

      Can I post a bag to someone?

      Of course. Add a note at checkout and we pack it in a gift box with a handwritten card.

      Do you do party jars and wedding favours?

      We do. Tell us the colours and the head count with the form below and we will come back with ideas.

      What about allergies?

      Sweets are made in a kitchen that handles nuts, milk and wheat. Ask us at the counter and we will talk you through each jar.

      06 / Party jars

      Big jars for big days

      Birthdays, office desks, wedding tables. Pick the colours, we fill the jars and tie the ribbons.

      Lovely. Your idea is in the jar. We will reply within a day or two.
