03 — Our Story

It started with
a wooden spoon
& a big pan.

In 2016, our founder Emma started making fudge in her kitchen in Hebden Bridge. Nothing fancy — just a copper pan, a wooden spoon, and her grandmother's recipe. She sold a few bags at the local market, and something unexpected happened: people kept coming back.

Nine years on, we're still making everything by hand in the same Yorkshire kitchen (albeit a slightly bigger one). Same recipes. Same proper butter. Same obsession with getting it right.

What goes in

Proper ingredients.
No shortcuts.

i.

Yorkshire butter

Always Yorkshire. Always proper. The difference is in every bite.

ii.

Demerara sugar

Not the bleached white stuff. Real sugar, with real flavour.

iii.

Single-origin cocoa

For our chocolates. Sourced directly from farms we know and trust.

iv.

Real vanilla pods

Not extract. Not essence. The real thing, scraped by hand.

Every chocolate is made by hand in our Yorkshire kitchen.

Our Story

It started with
a wooden spoon
& a copper pan.

In 2016, our founder Emma started making fudge in her kitchen in Hebden Bridge. Nine years on, we're still making everything by hand in the same Yorkshire kitchen — just a slightly bigger one.

Kitchen

Small batches.
Big flavour.

We make everything in batches of about 20kg at a time. It's slower than the big factories, obviously. But it means we can taste every batch, adjust if needed, and make sure every piece of fudge, every chocolate, every sweet is exactly right before it goes in a bag.

We use Yorkshire butter — always. Demerara sugar, not white. Single-origin cocoa for our chocolates. Real vanilla pods, not extract. It costs more, and it takes longer, but you can taste the difference. We think it's worth it.

The team is small — seven of us, including Emma's dog Bertie, who supervises from a safe distance. We're not trying to be the biggest sweet company in the UK. We're just trying to make the best.

✦

What we believe in.

i.

Proper ingredients

Yorkshire butter. Demerara sugar. Single-origin cocoa. Real vanilla. We don't cut corners on the things that matter.

ii.

Made by hand

Every piece is made, poured, cut, or hand-rolled by a real person. No machines, no mass production. Just craft.

iii.

Packed with care

Every order is packed by hand with tissue, a thank-you note, and a little something extra. Because opening a Sweetzies parcel should feel like Christmas.

Nine years of sweet things.

2016
The beginning
Emma makes her first batch of fudge in her Hebden Bridge kitchen. Sells 12 bags at the local market. They sell out in an hour.
2017
Sweetzies is born
We launch the website and start selling online. The chocolates range joins the fudge. Bertie the dog becomes official taste tester.
2019
A bigger kitchen
We move into a proper workshop (still in Hebden Bridge). Two new team members join. The retro sweets range launches.
2021
Gift boxes & weddings
We launch our gift box range and start making wedding favours. Over 200 weddings in the first year alone.
Now
Still stirring
Seven of us, thousands of happy customers, and the same wooden spoon Emma started with. The next nine years start here.
✦

The team.

Seven people (and one dog) making sweets in a Yorkshire mill. We're small on purpose — it means we can care about every bag that goes out.

Things people
often ask.

How long does delivery take?

+
Standard delivery is 2-3 working days and free on orders over £35. Next day delivery is available for £4.95 if you order before 2pm. All orders are tracked.

Can I return sweets I don't like?

+
Because our sweets are handmade and perishable, we can't accept returns on opened items. But if anything arrives damaged or isn't right, get in touch within 48 hours and we'll sort it — replacement or refund, your choice.

Do you do bespoke gift boxes?

+
Absolutely! We love making bespoke boxes for birthdays, weddings, Christmas, and everything in between. Get in touch with your ideas and we'll put something together. We do wedding favours too — just ask.

Are your sweets suitable for vegetarians / vegans?

+
Most of our sweets are vegetarian. Our fudge and chocolates contain dairy. We have a small range of vegan chocolates (clearly marked on the product page). All our sweets are gluten-free unless stated. Full allergen info is on every product.

How long do the sweets keep?

+
Our fudge keeps for about 6 weeks in an airtight container. Chocolates are best within 4 weeks. Retro sweets keep for months. We always send things at their freshest, and best-before dates are on every bag.

Do you do wholesale?

+
Yes — we work with independent shops, cafes, hotels, and wedding venues across the UK. Email wholesale@sweetzies.co.uk for our trade price list and minimum orders.
