About Us

McCandlish Farmhouse Confectionery is a family run business – we are the 3rd and 4th generation of confectioners and chocolatiers, continuing this family tradition and going from strength to strength.

Founding Member - Allan McCandlish 1936-2020

The home of World-famous products such as Creamola Foam, Chelsea Whoppers, Loch Lomond Tablet, Macaroon, MB Bars and many more products.

The business is now run by Agnes and Andrew – daughter and son of Allan McCandlish and continues to grow both in Scotland and around the word.

Our Head confectioner/chocolatier, Agnes Gough (nee McCandlish) is the daughter of Allan and worked alongside him for many years until his death in 2020.  Agnes’s daughter and her sons (learning the craft) also help within the company, creating the next generations of confectioners to pass the secret recipes adn methods onto.  With Mrs Mac (Allan’s wife, was very much involved in the business until her passing in 2024, we currently have 3 generations involved in our family business.

Many of the products we now sell were the creation of Allan and have been passed down through the generations. Agnes has inherited his passion for creating or reviving the old traditional confectionery and we continue to bring these much-loved old sweets and confectionery back to the market.

In 2021 we acquired Athole Tablet and Quality Retro Sweets adding to our portfolio of traditional Scottish confectionery and expanding the business further.

In 2022 we aquired Shokolat further expanding our chocolate range.  We have now developed a Diabetic/Vegan/Gluten free range of choclates under the Shokolat banner.
