A trip down memory lane often starts with a striped humbug. Maxons Black and White Humbugs bring that traditional sweet shop experience back to life with their classic black-and-white appearance, distinctive twisted pillow shape, and refreshing peppermint flavour. Packed into a substantial 3.4kg jar, these boiled sweets have the timeless look and taste that many people remember from old-fashioned lolly counters and corner stores.
Made by Maxons of Sheffield, England, these humbugs are produced using traditional confectionery methods that have helped make the brand well known amongst lovers of classic sweets. Each batch is handmade using an old-fashioned batch production process where flavours and colours are carefully worked into the sugar by skilled sugar boilers. The unique black-and-white striped appearance is created by hand, giving every batch its own character while maintaining the recognisable humbug style.
The peppermint flavour delivers a cool, clean taste that slowly develops as the boiled sweet dissolves. Unlike chewy lollies or chocolates, humbugs are designed to be savoured, making them a popular choice for reception areas, hospitality venues, offices, and anyone who enjoys a traditional hard-boiled sweet. Their striking striped design also adds visual appeal when displayed in jars, sweet buffets, or pick-and-mix style confectionery displays.
With a generous 3.4kg jar, this product is well suited to confectionery retailers, lolly shops, newsagents, cafes, hotels, clubs, and event venues looking to offer a nostalgic sweet that appeals across generations. The large PET jar is presented much like the traditional sweet shop containers of years gone by, making it practical for display while providing plenty of stock for busy environments.
Because Maxons continues to use handcrafted production techniques, slight variations in colour intensity and flavour strength can occur from batch to batch. This traditional approach is part of the charm and authenticity of the product. Every batch is checked to ensure it meets the brand's quality standards, delivering the classic peppermint humbug experience customers expect.
