Sweets are never just sweets. They’re social glue. They’re colour-coded joy. And in summer—when barbecues burn, kids screech, and someone’s forgotten the potato salad—they’re the one thing you can rely on to make everyone smile.

Here at Monmore, we think the humble 8 Section Nibble Platter deserves a comeback. With eight roomy compartments and a crystal-clear lid to show off your wares, it’s the sweet shop equivalent of an open-top Aston Martin—sleek, fun, and guaranteed to make an entrance at any summer gathering.

Step One: Pick your platter

It all starts with the base. Our 30cm x 30cm 8-section platter is designed to showcase your sweets like a pick ‘n’ mix catwalk. Each section is deep enough for a generous scoop, but shallow enough to give everything the spotlight it deserves.

Step Two: Sweet selection with seasonal flair

Now for the fun part: choosing what goes in. This is your chance to be bold, bright, and brilliantly flavour-forward. We’ve handpicked a sweet selection that hits every nostalgic, fruity, fizzy, and fun-loving note you’ll need to win over a crowd this summer.

Classic Blue Mix

Think of it as your base layer of cool. A cocktail of electric blue sweets—from blue raspberry laces to the latest and greatest blue sweets—that not only taste great but make your platter look like the sky at 9pm in July. It’s eye-catching, crowd-pleasing, and just the right amount of tongue-staining.

Classic Fizzy Mix

A guaranteed hit. This one’s packed with fizzy bottles, sour worms, and those tangy little pieces that make your face scrunch up in the best way. Perfect for kids, teens, and that one uncle who says “I don’t like sweets” and then eats half the tub.

Classic Jelly Mix

The yin to your fizzy yang. Soft, fruity, juicy—these sweets bring a mellow chew to balance out the sour. Think cola bottles, gummy bears, and all the chewy staples that no proper platter should be without.

NEW Halal Fizzy Mix

For summer hosts with inclusive taste, our Halal Fizzy Mix gives you full fizzy flavour, minus the gelatine. Ideal for sharing at family get-togethers or kids' parties where everyone deserves a sweet they can enjoy without second guessing the ingredients.

NEW Halal Jelly Mix

Soft, bouncy, and packed with fruity joy, this jelly mix is a smart addition to any platter. The colours are summery, the flavours are crowd-friendly, and it proves Halal sweets can look every bit as good as their non-Halal cousins.

Vegan Tongue Painter Brushes

These aren’t just sweets—they’re edible highlighters for your mouth. Kids love the novelty. Adults love the flavour. And your party photos will be far more entertaining thanks to the blue and purple tongues these leave behind.

Vegan Tongue Painter Dummies

Chewy, bright, and incredibly fun, these dummy-shaped sweets are always the first to go. Keep them in a central section so guests spot them immediately—then sit back and watch them vanish.

Vegan Fizzy Tongue Painter Brushes

Same great shape, same mouth-painting magic—but with added fizz. These are the show-offs of the platter: loud, bright, and with a sour zing that’ll keep guests coming back for more.

Vidal Rhubarb & Custard

A classic combo given the Vidal treatment: soft-textured, perfectly balanced between sweet and tart. A grown-up choice that still gets sticky fingers at family BBQs. Stick it next to the fizzy brushes for contrast.

Vidal Fizzy Cola Bottles

You can’t build a platter without these. They’re fizzy, they’re cola, they’re iconic—and they bridge the generation gap like no other sweet. From toddlers to grandparents, everyone grabs one.

Vidal Sour Apples

A tart green bite of summer. Sharp on the tongue and soft in the centre, they cut through the sweetness of other sweets and give your platter a cheeky citrus twist. Think Granny Smith with a sugar rush.

Vidal Jelly Filled Tropical Frogs

Yes, frogs. But tropical ones. These chewy little creatures hide a gooey centre that’s oddly satisfying. Plus, they look like they’ve jumped straight out of a rainforest, which gives your platter some unexpected wild charm.

Vidal Sour Rainbow Pencils

If your platter doesn’t include rainbow pencils, is it even a platter? These are zingy, bright, and look like they’ve been made by a unicorn with a sweet tooth. Great for centre placement—and even better for TikTok closeups.

Bebeto Assorted Pencils

This Bebeto bag is the wildcard. Packed with multi-coloured, fondant-filled goodness, it’s like letting a party planner loose in a sugar factory. No two bites are the same—and that’s exactly what makes them brilliant. Stick them at the corner of your platter and let people fight it out.

Step Three: Serve, smile, and bask in the glory

Once your platter is built, pop the lid on, pack it with confidence, and prepare for compliments. Because what you’ve created isn’t just a snack—it’s a centrepiece. A conversation starter. A technicolour sugar-fuelled celebration of summer itself.
