The family business, which is opening in the former Helensburgh Tech and Hardware store, is home of "world-famous products" such as Creamola Foam, Chelsea Whoppers, Scottish Tablet, Macaroon and MB Bars.

Currently run by daughter Agnes and son Andrew of the late founder Allan McCandlish, it is the 3rd and 4th generation of confectioners and chocolatiers continuing their family tradition.
