  • NEW PRODUCT - RILEY'S TOFFEE ROLLS

    NEW PRODUCT ALERT!

    Riley's Toffee Rolls Riley's Toffee Rolls

    Bah Humbugs now stocks delicious RILEY'S TOFFEE ROLLS - do you remember them?

    Originally made in the early 1900's by the Riley Brothers these chocolates eventually fell into the hands of Kraft. Thankfully the great-neice of Ella Riley (Freya) discovered a hand written recipe detailing how to make these delicious Toffee Rolls and she started making them a couple of year ago.

    Today they're all made, completely by hand by Freya and her husband Steve in their sweet shop in Bridgend. But they're a Yorkshire sweet & so many of our customers asked us for regularly for them that we just had to get them in for you to try - because we just love all things that combine confectionery and Yorkshire!

    They taste exactly the same as they used to, but there is one difference and that is the texture - the toffee is slightly softer (because it's kinder for our teeth). Other than that, they remain the same - they are made to the same recipe you see.

    Not only are we now stocking Riley's Toffee Rolls we also have in stock Riley's Salted Caramels which really very tasty indeed; the combination of salt and Riley's Toffee Roll is a taste sensation which has to be tried, so what are you waiting for? Add them to your shopping cart and wait for the postie to deliver them through the door.

  • BYE BYE BUTTERSCOTCH GUMS BY LION'S

    Lions Butterscotch Gums Lion's Butterscotch Gums

     

    Bad news for Lion's fans - Tangerine Confectionery have stopped making their super scrumptiousButterscotch Gums and we're gutted :-( They're a delicious buttery gum with a smooth and silky texture.

    Lion's Gums are hugely popular in Bah Humbugs and we sell hundreds of kilos of their sweets each year. No other company seems to be able to emulate their hard, chewy, fruity flavours and we wouldn't want them to!

    Their most famous and iconic sweets are of course the Lion's Sports Mixtures and Lion's Midget Gems - both of which contain their famous hard black liquorice flavoured gums. And YES, the ones we sell are the PROPER ones! This is a question we get asked so often in Bah Humbugs because the pre-packed Lion's Midget Gems and Lion's Sports Mixtures actually contain blackcurrant flavoured black ones - this just isn't right!!

    We have a few bags of Butterscotch Gums left in stock, but once they're gone then i'm afraid they will be gone for good - unless we can persuade the manufacturers that they are making a big mistake.

    But in the meantime, you can still buy all your favourite Lion's Gums from us here in Bah Humbugs and we can ship them all over the world. And of course if you're a loyal Lion's fan or know someone who is, then we've got a gift which would be just perfect for you - The Lion's Sweet Hamper which contains over 1.6k of Lion's Sweets. Including:-

    Lion's Midget Gems, Lion's Sports Mixture, Lion's Fruit Pastilles, Lion's Fruit Gums, Lion's Licorice Gums, Lion's Poor Bens and Lion's Fruit Salads.

    We hope that the removal of the Butterscotch Gums is a temporary thing and that they will be back soon.....watch this space!
