Nice package! Check out what's in the post from the Stateside Candy Co...

We know how exciting it is when you're eagerly waiting for a parcel full of goodies to come in the post - and now we've made it extra special! We've had a few boxes made up with our logo printed on them, and we have to say they look pretty cool. So now you can tell when you're treats and sweets are coming up the garden path, just try not to chase the postman down the street!

And don't forget you can save 10% online until midnight tonight by using the discount code 'back2school'. Cannot be used with any other discount code and you must spend over £50 after discount to receive free delivery. What are you waiting for!?

If that wasn't enough exciting news for you, we're also sampling Brach's candy corn in our Aldershot store tomorrow - pop in and try some. And watch this space for new pictures of developments at our new Guildford store, opening very soon!

Overload with cookies, candy and cups!

If you’re the type of person that likes to pile your plate high we have just the chocolate bar for you! We often dream that our three favourite things (cookies, candy and peanut butter cups) would merge to make one awesome treat. And now our dreams have finally become reality with the new Overload cups!

At first glance these may look like ordinary peanut butter filled chocolate cups, but on closer inspection you can see that they are topped with extra treats. After tasting one or two (you wouldn't want us to make up these reviews now would you?) we're happy to report that they are amazing! The milk chocolate is thick and creamy while the peanut butter it soft and gooey, much softer than a Reese's cup. Each is topped with something special; a sandwich cookie (similar to an Oreo), a chocolate chip cookie or mini M&M's. You might think that a peanut butter cup wouldn't need a topping, however after trying these we'd have to disagree!

And if you're going for the smaller 1&Only pack you wont be missing out as there are extra treats hidden inside. The smaller packet contains two cups on top of the cookies with either mini M&M's or white chocolate chips sandwiched between.

MTN Dew Products

MTN Dew Products

We have been informed by Pepsi, today, that we are infringing the use of one of their trademarks, namely MTN Dew. The trademark MTN Dew is intended for products for sale only within the USA and as a result we have been instructed to cease selling any MTN Dew products via our website and also our Aldershot store with immediate effect. Failure to stop selling the MTN Dew range would result in the Stateside Candy Co Ltd being prosecuted/sued for copyright infringement.

Therefore it is, with regret, that as of Monday 22^nd August 2011 we will no longer be offering the MTN Dew range of products for sale. Obviously this is a disappointment to both our company and our customers but is unfortunately out of our control however this issue concerns an incredibly small number of products carried by our company and although MTN Dew is a popular item we carry a huge number of other items and so will continue to offer you the widest range of American goodies  in the UK!

We will of course work on a suitable replacement for the MTN range as soon as possible.

With Kindest Regards

Amazing Glaze: check out our new popcorn Glaze Pops!

Summer might be the best time to see the big blockbusters in the cinemas, but we've decided to dig out the DVD's because that way we can put our feet up, text to our hearts delight and wander into the kitchen whenever we feel like it to cook up some fresh popcorn. And it's not just any popcorn we're making, but all the flavours of the rainbow! We've discovered these amazing new Glaze Pop glazes which can be added to fresh popcorn to create flavours like cinnamon, blue raspberry, cherry and caramel.

Each packet makes around 5-7 batches of sugar glazed corn, something that in the past could take up to an hour! But this new glaze is easy to use and the perfect sweet treat. Simply add it to your popper or pan with the corn and keep stirring until the popping slows down, it couldn't be easier! Full instructions are below:

Use your regular amount of corn and popping oil. (Don't use salt). Use a measure of GLAZE POP equal to 1/2 the quantity of popcorn. (If you use half a cup of popcorn use one forth cup of GLAZE POP). Put the oil in the popper first and as soon as it liquefies add the popcorn and GLAZE POP. Keep stirring until the popping slows down (do not wait until the last kernel pops) and dump Caramel Corn promptly. Allow to cool before eating.

 

 

And why not try it out in one of our new popcorn poppers, we even have great outdoor poppers which are great for festivals and barbecues!

Mountain Dew Pitch Black - back by popular DEWmand!

Another day, another huge delivery from the States! And this one was particularly exciting as we received several pallets of the hugely popular (and constantly requested!) Mountain Dew Pitch Black! We were lucky enough to receive some Supernova last month, but now we're super excited to be able to bring you Dew with a blast of Black Grape.

This flavour was originally available back in 2004, but eager fans and hundreds of requests proved too much for Pepsi to ignore as they released this statement:

"Back by Popular DEWmand was created to celebrate our incredible fans by rewarding them with the return of some of their favorite DEW flavors," said Brett O'Brien, senior director of marketing, Mountain Dew. "There is no fan like a Mountain Dew fan – DEW fans are always engaged and we truly value the feedback they provide about what they want to see next from Mountain Dew. Through this program we'd like to thank them and encourage their continued enthusiasm and support."

It might look like a lot in the photo, but stocks are limited so grab some while you can! You can see our full range of Mountain Dew flavours here.
