Uncle Joe’s – Boiled Sweets Made the Proper Way
Uncle Joe’s isn’t just a sweet—it’s a northern institution. A brand that’s weathered two world wars and a dozen confectionery fads, steadfastly stirring copper pans and never compromising on taste. If you’ve ever unwrapped a Mint Ball and felt your sinuses clear with righteous purpose, you’ll know: these aren’t just sweets, they’re small acts of tradition.
A Legacy Forged in Boiled Sugar
The heart of the range is, of course, the unmistakable Uncle Joe’s Mint Balls—available in 800g jars, 1.4kg jars, 2kg bags, and classic 120g tins. Strong, clean, and gloriously old-fashioned, they’re the flag bearers of proper boiled sweets.
But there’s more. For those who like their mint with a flourish, Uncle Joe’s now produces a range of sugar-free spins, including Mintballs Sugar Free 800g Jars and 2kg Bags—ideal for anyone looking to cut sugar without sacrificing flavour.
Sugar-Free, But Never Flavour-Free
Whether it’s the Mint with a Hint Of Berries, Caramel, or Liquorice, the sugar-free tins are anything but second best. Each one hits the palate like a confectioner’s love letter: sharp, nuanced, and utterly satisfying.
Proper Cough Sweets – The Real Deal
In an age of saccharine imitations, Uncle Joe’s Herbal Cough Drops, Throat & Chest Lozenges, and fiery Winter Nips stand tall as the gold standard of British cough sweets. They soothe. They clear. They taste like something your nan would swear by—and rightly so.
A Grown-Up Twist on Traditional
The brand has never been afraid to tip its hat to the modern palate. The Dark Rum Tin evokes leather armchairs and roaring fires, while the Treacle Caramels taste like bonfire night bottled up. And for a little tipple without the trouble, the Rhubarb & Ginger Gin Tin brings a botanical zing to the back of your throat.
