We're a little sweet shop in Stowmarket with a serious set of scales. Build your own bag, grab one of our ready-made mixes, or put your own logo on the label.
100g for a treat, 1kg for a party. Or somewhere sensible in between — we don't judge.
Tap the sweets you want. Want it all cola bottles? Tap it four times. It's your bag.
Sealed the day it's picked, labelled with what's in it, and in the post the next working day.
Inspected and rated by Mid Suffolk District Council under the Food Standards Agency scheme. Check any rating
Pick your bag size, then tap the sweets you want. Every tap adds a scoop — tap the same one twice for a double helping. Fill the bag and it's yours.
Tap a sweet again for more of it, or use the minus to take a scoop back out. Every bag is labelled with exactly what's inside and how much of each. Got an allergy? Check the allergen list first.
Can’t decide? We’ve done the deciding for you. Pick a mix to see what’s in it.
We print it on the label under our logo. Leave it blank for a plain bag.
We print your name and artwork straight onto the bag label. They go down brilliantly as client thank-yous, event giveaways, welcome packs, wedding favours and Christmas gifts — and people keep the label long after the sweets are gone.
Fill in the form below with roughly what you need and when. No order is too small to ask about.
Usually the same day, with a price and any questions. That’s when we’ll ask for your artwork — nothing to upload now.
You get a proof of the label to sign off before we print a single one.
Fill this in and we’ll come straight back to you by email.
Weddings, hen dos, birthdays, christenings, office parties, school fairs, market stalls — if you need sweets by the kilo rather than the pouch, this is the bit for you.
Individual favour pouches with names or a date on the label, or a full sweet table by the kilo. We'll help you work out how much you actually need — most people overbuy.
Bulk bags, themed colour mixes, or one big bucket to raid. Colour-matched mixes are our favourite job.
Wholesale rates on bulk weights for market stalls, farm shops, cafés and soft play. Ask for a trade list.
This one started a long time before it started. Ricky spent years saying he’d have a sweet business one day — the sort of thing people say and never do. Then he went and did it.
There was no grand plan behind it and nobody handing us a cheque. Just a good set of scales, a lot of stock, and being too stubborn to let it stay an idea.
That’s honestly the whole secret. A bit of belief, a bit of determination, and you can do just about anything you want.
Latham’s Candy Co is the two of us. Between us we do the buying, the weighing, the sealing, the labelling, the posting, and the answering of Facebook messages at eleven o’clock at night.
Every bag that leaves here has been made by one of us, by hand, for your order. Nothing sits pre-bagged on a shelf waiting for somebody to want it.
Every bag is made when you order it, sealed the same day and labelled with exactly what’s inside.
A registered food business with Mid Suffolk District Council, holding Level 2 Food Hygiene certification and a 5 — Very Good food hygiene rating.
Run out of Stowmarket. Local? You can collect and skip the postage entirely.
Because we sell online, you’re entitled to see full ingredients and allergen information before you order — not just when the bag arrives. Here it is, for every sweet we stock.
If you have any allergy or dietary requirement, contact us before placing an order and we’ll check the current batch for you.
Ingredients can change if a manufacturer updates their recipe. This guide is correct as of —.
Allergens are shown in bold in each ingredients list.
Every sweet is weighed and packed in the same kitchen, using the same scoops and scales. We cannot guarantee any sweet is completely free from traces of milk, soya, wheat or nuts, even where they are not an ingredient.
Most of our sweets are set with pork or beef gelatine, so they are not suitable for vegetarians. Each sweet says which, so you can check at a glance. Look for the green badges if you need gelatine-free.
A few sweets contain colours that carry a legal warning: they may have an adverse effect on activity and attention in children. Those sweets are marked, and the warning is shown on the sweet itself.
Plain English, no small print. If anything here isn’t clear, just ask.
Orders placed before 2pm on a working day are packed and posted the same day. After that, the next working day. Royal Mail Tracked 48 usually takes 2–4 working days from dispatch. Your tracking number is emailed to you as soon as it’s on its way.
We post Monday to Friday, excluding bank holidays. In hot weather we may hold chocolate lines back or message you to swap them, rather than post you a melted bag.
Damaged in the post, wrong item, or something missing? Message us within 14 days of delivery with your order number and a photo if it’s damaged. We’ll replace it or refund it — your choice. You won’t be asked to post anything back for a damaged bag.
Under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 you have 14 days from the day you receive your order to tell us you’ve changed your mind, and a further 14 days to send it back. Message us first so we know it’s coming.
We’ll refund what you paid for the goods, plus our standard delivery charge, within 14 days of getting them back or of you showing proof of postage. Return postage is at your cost unless the order was faulty or wrong.
By law, the 14-day cancellation right doesn’t cover:
None of that affects your rights if something arrives faulty, damaged, or not as described.
Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, if what you receive is faulty or not as described you can ask for a full refund within 30 days. After that we’ll repair, replace or refund. Just get in touch.
Full ingredients and allergen information for every sweet is on our Allergens page, available before you order. Everything is weighed in the same kitchen, so we can’t guarantee any sweet is free from traces. If you have an allergy, please check with us before ordering.
These are the terms you’re agreeing to when you order from us.

When you place an order you’re making an offer to buy. A contract is formed when we email to confirm your order has been dispatched. If we can’t fulfil an order we’ll tell you and refund you in full.
You must be 18 or over to place an order.
All prices are in pounds sterling and are shown on the site. We are not currently VAT registered, so no VAT is charged and no VAT invoice can be issued. Delivery is added at checkout.
If we spot a genuine pricing error we’ll contact you before dispatching, and you can confirm at the correct price or cancel for a full refund.
Every bag is weighed by hand to order. We aim to hit the stated weight exactly and always err on the generous side, but individual sweets vary in size, so there may be a small tolerance either way.
Sweets go in and out of stock. If we can’t get something you’ve picked we’ll message you before packing to agree a swap or refund that part of your order. We won’t substitute anything without asking you first.
If you add a personalised label, you’re responsible for the text you give us and for having the right to use it. We’ll print what you type, so please check your spelling.
We reserve the right to refuse anything offensive, or anything that infringes somebody else’s trade mark or copyright. If we refuse, we’ll contact you and refund you in full.
Personalised bags are made to your specification, so the 14-day cancellation right doesn’t apply to them. See Delivery & returns.
Card payments are taken by Stripe, on a page hosted by Stripe. We never see, handle or store your card details.
We’re a food business registered with Mid Suffolk District Council and hold Level 2 Food Hygiene certification. Ingredients and allergens for every sweet are published on our Allergens page. Ingredients can change if a manufacturer alters their recipe; we update the page as soon as we’re told.
We’ll always do what we say we will. If we fail to meet these terms we’re responsible for loss you suffer that is a foreseeable result of that failure, but not for anything unforeseeable.
Nothing in these terms limits or excludes our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, for defective products, or for anything else it would be unlawful to exclude. Your statutory rights as a consumer are not affected.
If something beyond our reasonable control delays your order — a postal strike, extreme weather, supplier failure — we’ll let you know and get it to you as soon as we can. If the delay is substantial you can cancel and we’ll refund you.
We may update these terms from time to time. The version that applies to your order is the one published when you placed it.
These terms are governed by the law of England & Wales, and disputes can be brought in the courts of England & Wales.
Short version: we use your details to send you sweets and answer your questions. That’s it. We don’t sell them, and we don’t track you around the internet.
