The Snowman and the Snowdog Hot Chocolate Bomb is a delicious milk chocolate ball that slowly melts in a mug of hot milk as sweet marshmallows rise to the top (12 x 50g RSP £2.49).

Alternatively, the pack of three Melting Hot Chocolate Stirrers, which are generously topped with marshmallow pieces and sugar decoration, offers another way to make a first-class hot drink (24 x 75g RSP £4.99). For extra indulgence, choose the Hot Chocolate Mallow Toppers, with six in the pack, so there are plenty to share (24 x 60g RSP £1.49).

The Selection boxes also offer a great alternative to chocolate and so cater to different dietary requirements.

Completing the range, and something that can double up as a gift or decoration is the SLUSH PUPPiE Candy Canes. Each of the 10 candy canes in the pack boasts the iconic blue raspberry and cherry SLUSH PUPPiE flavours. (24 x 138g & RSP £1.49).

“With 90 per cent of UK consumers buying confectionery at Christmas, it’s vital that retailers make the most of this commercially important time of the year,” said Rose Marketing UK MG Steven Watt. “We recommend mixing up the in-store offer with popular brands and hints of Christmas past to encourage nostalgic shopping experiences. To take advantage of this busy trading time, themed Christmas displays in the highest footfall areas like a store entrance or end of aisle should be considered and Rose can offer dedicated point of sale to make this really special. Whatever instore theatre is chosen, it will definitely boost shopper spirits and in turn encourage confectionery sales. Retailers should also consider the various gifting and eating occasions that are synonymous with Christmas and build displays relating to things like stocking filler treats, last-minute gift ideas and self-eat indulgence.”
