Why chocolate nibbles are the nation’s favourite sweet fix
Posted on: 15/10/2025
Among Britain’s most beloved bite-sized sweets, chocolate nibbles hold a uniquely messy charm — cocoa-dusted clusters of milk chocolate, caramel and biscuit that manage to be nostalgic, indulgent and effortlessly addictive. Made by Sweet Dreams, they’re the kind of treat that disappears by the handful, whether served in retail pre-packs or scooped from a giant 3kg tub. At Monmore Confectionery, we stock every format and flavour for wholesale buyers who know that chocolate should never be boring.
The original innovators: Sweet Dreams
Sweet Dreams are the British confectioners behind the phenomenon. Their recipe takes quality milk chocolate, folds it with soft caramel, biscuit and wafer pieces, and forms it into irregular clusters that are then finished with a dusting of cocoa powder or icing sugar. It’s comfort food in its purest form — but with the kind of shelf-ready formats and flavours that work in retail, hospitality, and foodservice alike.

What are chocolate nibbles made of?
The base is milk chocolate — not too dark, not too sweet — layered with soft caramel, biscuit, and sometimes crushed digestive or wafer crumbs for crunch. Certain varieties bring in extras like orange oil, natural mint flavouring, or colourful candy sprinkles. The result is a rough-textured cluster that looks homemade, feels indulgent, and eats like the best parts of a chocolate bar, cereal snack and biscuit tin combined.
