We are absolutely thrilled to announce that Mr Swainston’s has officially secured the licensing for the historic Jesmona brand. As a proud South Shields business dedicated to championing traditional confectionery, bringing this iconic North East name into our family is a dream come true.

For generations, the legendary Jesmona Black Bullets has been a beloved favorite. Known for its crisp, intensely refreshing peppermint kick and those classic collectible tins, it's a true staple of British sweet-making heritage. We knew we had to ensure that incredible legacy lived on.

Now, the wait is over. We are bringing the original Black Bullets back to the UK where it belongs — But the revival doesn't stop there. Alongside this historic favorite, we are already busy behind the scenes developing an exciting new range of Jesmona sweets for a whole new generation.

The heritage continues, and the famous tins are coming back. Get ready for a taste of history!
