There’s a certain kind of magic in the air when autumn finally settles in. The mornings carry a chill, the evenings draw in, and suddenly a cosy night with a sweet treat feels like the ultimate luxury. For us here at Siop Pen Gwyn, autumn isn’t just about scarves and hot drinks – it’s about creating flavours that wrap you in comfort the moment you take a bite. This week has been all about anticipation, and today we’re thrilled to finally unveil our Autumn Fudge Collection. Four indulgent flavours, each one designed to capture the season in its own delicious way: 🌿 Chocolate Mint – The return of a true classic. Smooth chocolate fudge swirled with refreshing mint, back just in time for those darker evenings when you crave something cool yet cosy. 🌹 Turkish Delight Chocolate Fudge – Rose-scented Turkish Delight folded into rich chocolate fudge. It’s an exotic, nostalgic bite that will divide opinions – but trust us, if you’re a fan, you’re in for a treat. 🔥 S’mores Fudge – Imagine gooey marshmallows, crunchy biscuit, and thick chocolate fudge all in one mouthful. It’s the joy of a campfire, but without the smoke in your eyes! 🍏 Toffee Apple Fudge – Nothing says autumn quite like apples and caramel. We’ve used fresh juice from our neighbours at Pant Du, pressed from apples grown here in North Wales, and combined it with buttery caramel fudge and crunchy toffee pieces. Sweet, crisp, and utterly moreish. Every piece of fudge we make is stirred, poured, cut, and wrapped by us – a labour of love that has become part of our daily rhythm. There’s something wonderfully grounding about watching sugar transform into silky fudge, and knowing it’s destined to bring someone a smile. That’s fudge life: messy aprons, sweet aromas drifting through the kitchen, and the simple joy of creating something that brightens someone’s day. So as autumn unfolds, we invite you to share these flavours with us – whether you pop into the shop for a chat and a taste, or order online and unwrap a little parcel of happiness at home. ✨ The Autumn Fudge Collection is available in-store and online from today. 🛒 Browse and order now at www.sioppengwyn.co.uk Here’s to cosy nights, chilly mornings, and fudge that makes it all just that little bit sweeter.

September always feels like a turning point. The pace slows a little, the nights draw in sooner, and we swap beach days for school runs and cosy evenings. For us at Siop Pen Gwyn, it’s also the moment to look back on a whirlwind summer and say a huge thank you to everyone who shared it with us. From our shop in Beddgelert to Palace Street in Caernarfon, and all the way to the Beaumaris Artisan Market, it’s been wonderful to welcome so many of you. We’ve loved seeing families making fudge part of their day out, children with noses pressed to the glass counters, and friends returning for their favourite flavours. The season brought plenty of highlights too—our busy stall at Conwy Seed Fair, the brilliant atmosphere at Llangefni Food Festival, and weekends full of familiar faces in Beaumaris. Each event left us with sweet memories (and a few empty fudge trays by the end of the day!).And whether your summer strolls took you through the storybook streets of Beddgelert or past the towering walls of Caernarfon, there’s always a sense of history close by. From the legend of Gelert to tales of dragons and princes, these places remind us that every corner has a story to tell—just as every piece of fudge carries a little tradition with it. As autumn begins, we’re excited for what’s next. New flavours are already in the works, and there’ll be plenty of seasonal specials to discover. Summer may be behind us, but there’s always more sweetness ahead.
