Christmas Gifts: Sweet Treats

Sweet treats are always great stocking fillers at Christmas as well as something naughty to have on the table at Christmas time. We’ve selected our favourite festive sweet treats that’s bound to bring joy to anyone this Winter.

Mr Stanley’s Confectionary.

We were most impressed with their traditional and elegant packaging. Mr Stanley’s confectionary pays homage to an old era of confectioners and we think that anyone with an appreciation for sweeties will love a gift from Mr Stanley’s. Great for stocking fillers or as a good selection for your Christmas table, our favourites from the Christmas collection were;
Mini Candy Canes – £3 I love to use these to decorate the tree or stick on the front of Christmas cards.
Festive Fudge Selection – £3.99 Rich and buttery, Mr Stanley’s covered all of the festive flavours with Christmas pudding fudge, Salted caramel fudge, Mincemeat butter fudge, Christmas spice with orange fudge to choose from.
White Chocolate Matches with Popping Candy – £6.99 We love this luxurious and delicious candy and the extra pop made it all the more fun. And if it’s milk or dark chocolate you prefer than Mr Stanley have got an assortment of chocolate matches to suit you.
These were just a selection of our favourites but be sure to check out their full range online which includes traditional sweets, liquorice and candy, sweet jars and biscuits.

Christmas Igloo Cake £19.95

snowigloo

Super sweet and made for children. Adults will love it too. Serves 6-8 people and looks too good to eat. Made with light chocolate sponge, smooth white and dark chocolate mousse with a lining of hazelnut craquant, vanilla cream and covered in a thin layer of white chocolate. Divine, just divine.

 

Bûche Amande Abricot £28.95

An alternative to a chocolate cake, this is delicious and refreshing. Fruity and full of flavour. Has edible pearls of gold, loaded with semi-candied apricot pieces and a nutty almond crunch and then wrapped in a light and fluffy sponge with smooth vanilla and almond mile mousse. Stunningly delicious.
