As a business, we are proud to have zero food waste . Yes, really! Not a single crumb goes to waste.
Sometimes we reuse the fudge crumbs in our next batch of fudge.
Other times, we sell our leftover crumbs in small bags for you – they’re very popular to use on ice-creams, cake toppings, or as a little treat!
(Please note these are usually a mixture of all our fudge flavours and check the allergy statement on the fudge crumbs before consuming)
If you’re visiting a Roly’s Fudge Pantry that sells ice cream, they might even offer crumb toppings or ‘crumbs in the cone’!
Look after your fudge well by keeping it in a sealed container, and it will last at least 2 months (self control permitting!)
• We use the best quality natural ingredients in all of our fudges.
• That means real walnuts in our Maple & Walnut Fudge, real raisins in our Rum ‘n’ Raisin, and in our Christmas Pudding Fudge, no flavourings whatsoever – everything you would expect in an actual Christmas Pudding!
• Our butter and milk are bought from local suppliers wherever possible
• None of our flavours contain E numbers or colourings.
• We avoid artificial flavourings, using only natural flavourings where necessary.
• We are committed to not using palm oil in our fudge.
• Our vegan fudge is accredited by the Vegan Society, which is a rigorous examination of all our ingredients used in our vegan fudge flavours.
• We are constantly assessing our ingredients to make sure we use the finest ingredients possible.
Our paper packaging companies are FSC accredited and we use sustainable inks.
We have eliminated plastic carrier bags from our shops and use FSC accredited paper bags. But we highly encourage everyone to bring their own reusable bags!
Our printed ribbons (with “Roly’s Fudge… it’s crumbly!” on them) are derived from wood pulp and eucalyptus sources.
We are working to find a replacement for our plastic gift bags and plastic within our boxes. Despite some substantial investment, currently our experiments haven’t worked. In the meantime, we’re using the best recyclable plastic we can. You can recycle the plastic from our boxes and from our gift bags in normal household recycling.

Once upon a time, over three decades ago… our handmade fudge began its life on the kitchen table of a small 16th century Mid Devon thatched cottage in the West Country with Peter and Lindsey Riley, the founders of Roly’s Fudge.
Lindsey found an old recipe book of her grandma’s so she could make their family and friends some fudge.
The plate was very soon empty and their friends were asking for more – and Peter and Lindsey realised they had stumbled across a good idea. In those days, factory fudge was plentiful, but no one was making real handmade fudge, just like they knew from their own childhood.
But how would Peter and Lindsey convert a 150-year-old recipe into a business?
