At Monmore Confectionery, we offer an extensive collection of these timeless treats, each one bursting with nostalgic flavour and wrapped in classic charm.

What Are Boiled Sweets?

Made by heating sugar to a precise temperature until it liquefies, then flavouring and cooling into a solid form, boiled sweets are the ultimate example of confectionery craftsmanship. They’re loved for their long-lasting flavour, satisfying crunch, and sometimes even a surprise chewy centre.

Classic Varieties That Never Go Out of Style

• Army & Navy: Menthol-rich and herbal—perfect for winter colds or nostalgic indulgence.
• Barley Sugar: Golden, translucent, and endlessly comforting.
