ABOUT OUR PRODUCTS

Handcrafted in the picturesque village of Darling, our confectionery range is a celebration of tradition, quality, and nostalgia. We craft by hand butter-rich toffees, soft caramels, melt-in-your-mouth fudge, and indulgent toffee spreads, all made using traditional methods and the finest ingredients.

At Darling Sweet, every product is preservative-free and handcrafted, bringing you both classic and innovative flavours.  Whether it’s a heartfelt gift or a well-deserved treat for yourself, our handcrafted treats invite you to slow down, savour the moment, and "Take Your Time."

In 2020, we introduced our sister brand, Swartland Kitchen, a bakery based at Evita se Perron, dedicated to crafting traditional bakes. We use only the best ingredients such as real butter, free-range eggs, and stoneground flour. Swartland Kitchen pays tribute to long established South African traditions of quality baked goods. Our range consists of 5 rusk flavours, 3 cookie flavours, granola and fleur de sel.

WE'D LIKE YOU TO KNOW...

Darling Sweet was born from a dream to create something special that visitors could take home as a reminder of Darling. Since 2014, we’ve been handcrafting butter-rich treats with a focus on quality, authenticity, and community.

We are rooted in Tradition: Inspired by forgotten recipes, our toffees and caramels are made using age-old techniques, ensuring every bite is rich, smooth, and nostalgic.

We use locally sourced ingredients: We use the best local ingredients to create treats that are pure and utterly delicious.

Celebrating 11 years of Darling Sweet, we continue to evolve with bold new packaging, designed to reflect our journey, creativity, and South African heritage.
