Hancocks unveils Valentine’s Day range

Leading confectionery wholesaler Hancocks has unveiled its selection of sweet treats for Valentine’s Day.

The range includes a wide selection of themed pick n mix sweets, award-winning Bonds Pun Boxes and gifting chocolates perfect for sweet-toothed sweethearts.


The wholesaler said the pick n mix sweets are an ideal complement for Galentine’s party snack tables, or for couples who wish to create a unique sweet mix for their significant other.

Heart-shaped pick n mix sweets are a must-stock for Valentine’s, the Ravazzi Gummy Hearts (RRP £1.20 per 100g) are available in strawberry and cream or licorice flavours.

Also perfect for the occasion are Barratt Jelly Love Hearts - small pink and white panned sweets, and Vidal Triple Hearts - strawberry and cream flavour sugared jelly sweets, both RRP £1.20 per 100g.

The popular Kingsway brand offers Valentine’s pick n mix sweets for marshmallow and chocolate lovers.

Their vanilla flavoured Mallow Hearts (RRP £1.20 per 100g) come in regular and mini sizes and are unbelievably soft and squidgy.

Kingsway’s deliciously smooth Milk Chocolate Hearts (RRP £1.49 per 100g) are packed in silver or red foil and are filled with caramel flavour crème.

Jazzies fans will adore the heart shaped edition of the iconic sweets. The Kingsway’s Pink Hearts RRP (£1.20 per 100g) are strawberry flavoured and coated with crunchy candy.

Kingsway product prices are subject to change in 2023, the wholesaler added.

A Valentines-themed alternative to heart-shaped sweets are Ravazzi’s colourful raspberry flavoured Gummy Flowers (RRP £1.20 per 100g).

All pick n mix sweets are available to be purchased in bulk bags from Hancocks stores or online and can be merchandised as a themed addition to retailers’ pick and mix range or packaged in pre-packed themed sweet bags.

Bonds Shaker Cups are also popular among customers for Valentines Day gifting. They are more hygienic, require less space in store, offer portion control and are easy to open and reseal. Perfect for Valentine’s Day is the Bonds Happy Flowers shaker cup (RRP £2.50).

Instead of giving flowers this Valentine’s Day, sweet lovers can surprise their loved ones with Chocolate Milk Roses or Tulips (RRP £1.49).

Also part of the Bonds gifting range is the Hot Chocolate Melt Trio Gift Box (RRP £3.99).
