The latest yesteryear treat reimagined by Stockley’s is to be Treacle Toffee, otherwise known as Bonfire toffee, on account of its cult popularity during Victorian Guy Fawkes celebrations.
The treat carries a rich, earthier taste and “ties in perfectly with Stockley’s ongoing commitment to giving fresh impetus to yesteryear, nostalgic classics,” it says. The sweets have an RRP of £1.49.
Stockley’s spokesperson, Andy Valentine, added: “So many sweets offer an endless inventory of ingredients. We wanted our yesteryear classics to have short, easy-to-comprehend ingredient lists. We also wanted to champion a range of unrushed, me-time sweets heroes that would be savoured not devoured - unhurried cult favourites that could be shared amongst friends and family, bringing back memories of old-school sweet shops and newsagents.”
Stockley’s says it has long seen the opportunity to tap into its 100-year-old status for fine confectionery know-how “to appeal to an older demographic looking to reconnect with its childhood.”
