A Classic Retro Sweet

Rhubarb and custard sweets have been a staple of British confectionery since the early 20th century, inspired by the beloved dessert pairing often served in homes and school dinners across the UK.

Stockley’s continues to honour this heritage by crafting their sweets using traditional methods. The process involves gently boiling sugar mix to the perfect temperature before flavourings and colours are added. The rhubarb batch and the custard batch are then cooled, combined and shaped to create that signature two-flavour, two-colour boiled sweet.

The result? A sweet that not only tastes delicious but carries generations of tradition in every piece.
