Cough sweets belong in pockets, gloveboxes, desk drawers and—most importantly—on your shelves when the season turns and throats start complaining. At Monmore Confectionery we favour the classics: hard boiled, menthol-bright, herb-laced, honey-and-lemon smoothers that soothe, refresh and keep customers coming back for another roll, another bag, another “just in case”.

What Makes a Great Cough Sweet?

It’s simple. A proper hard boil that doesn’t collapse into syrupy mush. Flavours that earn their keep: menthol for clarity, herbal blends for depth, liquorice for that old-fashioned backbone, and honey with lemon for gentle comfort. The best examples cool the palate, freshen the breath and settle a tickle long enough to get through a meeting—or at least the school run.

Flavours, Formats and the Little Details That Matter

Menthol and eucalyptus bring clarity; honey and lemon bring comfort; herbs bring that unmistakable apothecary note customers equate with “doing something”. Black liquorice? It adds grip and nostalgia. Individually wrapped pieces keep things hygienic and pocket-friendly; larger bags and tubs keep families stocked through the week. If your customers ask for cherry or blackcurrant profiles, position them alongside herbal and menthol lines for an easy “one for now, one for later” upsell.

When to Stock and How Much

• Autumn to early spring: Peak sell-through—front-of-store, eye-level, and near tills.
• Year-round: Keep at least one menthol and one herbal option live; commuters and teachers buy whatever the weather.
• Bundles and hampers: Pair honey & lemon with herbal tablets for a no-brainer “comfort” duo.

Dietary and Category Cross-Sells

Many of these lines are Vegetarian Sweets, clearly labelled on pack for an easy customer reassurance. If your shoppers lean traditional, signpost the wider world of Boiled Sweets for fruit, butter, and mints; for those shopping by ailment rather than flavour, keep this page bookmarked as your home for Cough Sweets.

Helpful Notes for Customers (and Fewer Returns for You)

• How many? Always follow the guidance on pack.
• Children and pregnancy: Check the label first and keep to recommended usage.
• Allergens and suitability: Look for the vegetarian mark where shown.
