Barratt Dolly Mix
Barratt Dolly Mix has long been the emblem of British childhoods—each pastel piece a fondant whisper of simpler times. Think school tuck shops, paper bags crinkling with promise, and sticky fingers stealing one last bite before dinner. And in this revival of retro confections, Monmore Confectionery proudly stocks this timeless favourite in generous 1kg bags for sweet lovers across the UK.
The Quirky Charm of Dolly Mix
Soft fondant cubes. Jelly buttons. The pinks, whites and yellows that look like something from your nan’s biscuit tin. Dolly Mix is a study in modest pleasure. It doesn’t overwhelm—it comforts. Perfect for those who want their sweets sweet, not sour-faced or coated in neon dust.
