Stockleys

When we talk about traditional sweets, we mean Stockleys. This is the boiled sweet done properly—without the gimmicks, the artificial faff, or the shrinkflation. Whether it's Clove Satins that transport you to the front pew of a 1950s chapel or the uncompromising tang of Acid Drops, Stockleys doesn’t pander—it performs.

Their range reads like a greatest hits of British nostalgia: Aniseed Twists, Barley Sugar, Fruit Drops, Menthol & Eucalyptus, and the utterly iconic Chocolate Limes—each one as full-bodied and commanding as a Yorkshire brass band. Their Liquorice & Blackcurrant isn’t a sweet; it’s a minor religious experience for anyone raised on school tuck shops and winter boots.

And let’s not forget the gloriously buttery Buttermints or the serious crunch of their Coffee Crunch—a caffeinated jolt for anyone who thinks sweets should have bite. Sweet tooth leaning savoury? The Butter Crunch hits that strange and wonderful point between toffee and tablet.

These are the kinds of boiled sweets that belong in a glass jar, handed down like heirlooms or stuffed into coat pockets “just in case.” Stockleys don’t make fashionable sweets—they make **forever** sweets.

Looking for a sweetshop staple to complement your jar of Lemon Sherbets or that glorious red jar of Rosey Apples? Stockleys completes the lineup with confidence, and zero sugar-coated pretence.

This is confectionery for grown-ups, for traditionalists, and for anyone who knows that a good Mint Humbug can be a personality trait. Stockleys: they’ve been sweetening Britain for over a century, and frankly, they’re not about to stop now.
