Needlers Caramel Cups Are Still Here!

People are still having a hard time getting hold of Needlers Caramel Cups, well, we’re not having problems and have plenty in stock. We have heard various rumours that they are discontinued or the wrapping machine had failed – we have not heard anything official, so for now at least, we still have these popular little beauties! We have noticed some of the newer stock has a new wrapper, so there could be some truth in the wrapping machine theory!

If you are from outside of the Peterborough area, these can be purchased from ourselves via eBay at the following link: Sticky Treats eBay Store
