What’s more, replacing sugar with honey may also help lower triglyceride levels by up to 19% ( 15, 16, 17, 18, 19). Moreover, people with allergies to bee venom or pollen may want to use caution when eating honeycomb, as it may cause an allergic reaction ( 34). In 2022 the 'Salted Caramel', 'Gingerbread' and 'Maple & Pecan' flavours have all been withdrawn and 'Yummy Honeycomb' and 'Coffee' flavours have returned with the name changing due to merging 'Coffee' and 'Salted Caramel' flavours to Caramel Coffee and cutting the name to Honeycomb.

One small study in people with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) — a medical condition in which fat accumulates in your liver, often accompanied by insulin resistance — found that beeswax alcohol extracts reduced insulin levels by 37% ( 30). Such enzymes are destroyed by the heating and filtering used to process most commercial honey ( 5). There is something for everyone in the range including family favourites Smarties, Rowntree’s, Milkybar, Rolo and more, plus this year there will be two brand new launches. Its main component is raw honey, which offers small amounts of protein, vitamins, and minerals — but is composed of 95–99% sugar and water ( 3, 4). This indulgent collection contains five delicious flavours: Dark Peppermint Truffle, Dark Peppermint Cream, Dark Peppermint Crisp, Dark Orange and Peppermint Cream and Milk Peppermint and and Milk Peppermint Truffle.It’s also important to note that despite its many potential benefits, honeycomb remains very high in sugar — so it’s best to eat it in moderation. Summary These lower insulin levels may indicate reduced insulin resistance, which could also benefit people with diabetes. That said, honey still elevates blood sugar levels — so people with diabetes shouldn’t consume too much. For instance, one review notes that beeswax alcohols may help lower “bad” LDL cholesterol by up to 29% while raising “good” HDL cholesterol by 8–15% ( 14). Honeycomb also contains beeswax, which provides heart-healthy long-chain fatty acids and alcohols. These compounds may help lower cholesterol levels ( 13, 14). Summary

Sugar, Cocoa Mass, Glucose Syrup, Cocoa Butter, Skimmed MilkPowder, Vegetable Fat (from Palm/Shea/Sal/Illipe/Kokum Gurgi/Mango Kernel), Lactose and Proteins from Whey (from Milk), Whey Powder (from Milk), Emulsifier (Sunflower Lecithin), Natural Flavouring, Skimmed Milk Chocolate and Plain Chocolate contain Vegetable Fat in addition to Cocoa Butter One small study gave participants either 70 grams of sugar or honey per day. After 30 days, those in the honey group raised their “good” HDL cholesterol by 3.3% and lowered their “bad” LDL cholesterol by 5.8% ( 19). Nestlé Confectionery announces a Christmas 2022 range full of festive favourites and exciting new launches from its iconic brands. In 2008, Nestlé rebranded Matchmakers as 'Quality Street Matchmakers', Quality Street also being a Nestlé brand. They are still available in 'Zingy Orange', 'Cool Mint' and 'Yummy Honeycomb' flavours. Antioxidants are beneficial plant compounds that promote health, reduce inflammation, and protect your body against disease. Their levels may be up to 4.3 times higher in raw than in processed honey ( 8, 9, 10, 11).Polyphenols are honey’s main type of antioxidant. Research suggests that they may help reduce your risk of diabetes, dementia, heart disease, and even certain types of cancer ( 12). Because it hasn’t been processed, raw honey contains enzymes like glucose oxidase, which give honey antimicrobial and antibacterial properties. The new Aero Peppermint Bubbles giant tube will be joined by the Smarties White giant tube, which taps into the growing trend for white chocolate. That’s in part because honey is much sweeter than sugar, so smaller quantities are needed to attain the same level of sweetness. Additionally, honey appears to raise blood sugar levels less than refined sugar ( 29).
