With summer upon us, there are as many reasons as ever to ensure that your range is in tip-top shape and ready to put a twinkle in sweet lovers’ eyes. The days are longer and (hopefully) warmer, kids are excited about their school break and everyone is in a great mood! As spirits are higher, everyone is even more inclined to treat themselves, too.
As you know, there are always new lines joining the Hancocks range – it can be tricky to keep up with. That’s why we give you a quick round-up of some of the best additions each month! Here is that very round-up for May.

The sun is out. You’ve been enjoying the outdoors but now you’re parched. At this moment, nothing lands quite like an iced lolly. Cold, tasty, and utterly refreshing – you can’t beat them. For every business, ranging from ice cream vans to convenience stores, these are essential lines for the summer months. With the new Warheads Extreme Sour Ice Wedges you can ride through the summer on the waves of popularity of both sour flavours and ice lollies.

A decadent garnish for any tasty creation, the Kingsway Toppings Mini Caramel Fudge cubes can help to take your menu to the next level. Add a premium edge to soft serve ice cream with these creamy cubes and a drizzle of Crazy Frosty Factory Toffee Ice Cream Topping Sauce. Of course, it is a perfect addition to make delicious baked goods completely irresistible, too. Whether you’re topping off a sponge of a cheesecake, these are a secret weapon that every kitchen could do with.

Spread the vibes of summer from the freezer to the pick n mix stand with the wonderful Vidal Gummi Ice Pops! Fruit-flavoured jelly sweets that are brightly coloured and shaped like a classic ice lolly, these will certainly draw much-wanted attention. With their sugar coating, fruity flavours and plenty of summer vibes, these 3kg bags are a great way to add excitement to your range.

A stalwart of the confectionery scene for almost a century, retailers know the selling power of PEZ! Pairing delicious fruity candies with the fun of a novelty dispenser and many famous pop culture icons. One such character who resonates with a wide-ranging customer base has just arrived at Hancocks having left Bikini Bottom. With four different designs that will appeal to all, these new PEZ SpongeBob SquarePants Impulse options are a must-have. They’re ideal for a sweet treat for shoppers of all ages!

Football is always a popular sport in the UK, but that will ramp up even further when the UEFA European Championship kicks off on 14th June. Whilst many fans will head out to watch the game, the majority will watch the games at home – with sweet treats and snacks! Appealing to both their inner football fans and sweet lovers, the Haribo Football Frenzy bags are ideal. Offering fruity gummy and foam treats, much like the famous Starmix, these footy favourites were literally made for this occasion!

With recipes formulated specifically to provide both physical and mental benefits more than the ordinary caffeine hit, C4 Smart Energy drinks are perfect for all energy drink customers. Whether they’re looking for a boost before hitting the gym, want to be alert for a big gaming session, or just need a little pick me up, you can’t go wrong. Each of the three exciting new flavours – Mango, Red Berry Yuzu, and Watermelon Burst – provides a natural energy boost and delicious sugar-free flavours. With more customers than ever pursuing an active lifestyle, these flavourful energy drinks are a smart inclusion in your drinks range.
