Dobson Bonfire/Treacle Lollies

Capture the magic of a crisp autumn evening in a single lolly. Dobson’s Bonfire Lollies (affectionately known as Treacle Lollies) are a dark, decadent journey into the heart of British confectionery history. Deep, smoky, and intensely sweet, this is the ultimate comfort candy.

A Rich, Toasted Experience:

• The Flavor Profile: Think of dark molasses, caramelized brown sugar, and a hint of smoky "char." It’s a thick, velvety sweetness that is far more complex than a standard toffee—warm, earthy, and unapologetically bold.

• The Copper-Pan Depth: Because Dobsons still uses traditional copper pans, the sugars are allowed to reach a perfect "hard-crack" stage. This enhances the natural bitterness of the treacle, creating a sophisticated "burnt-sugar" profile that is world-class.

• The Winter Warmer: There’s a reason this flavor is a seasonal legend. The warming sensation of the treacle makes it the perfect companion for chilly walks or cozy nights by the fire.

Why It’s a Connoisseur’s Choice:

• The "Black Gold" of Candy: With its deep, opaque ebony hue, this lolly looks as rich as it tastes. It’s a standout piece in any candy collection.

• Nostalgia in Every Lick: For many, the taste of bonfire treacle is the taste of childhood celebrations, fairs, and heritage festivals.

• Heritage Quality: Dobsons has been perfecting this recipe since 1850. When you enjoy a Treacle lolly, you are tasting a piece of Yorkshire history that has remained unchanged for generations.

The Verdict: It’s bold, it’s dark, and it’s soul-warmingly sweet. If you prefer your candy with a bit of "gravitas" and a smoky edge, the Bonfire Treacle is an absolute must-try.
