Humbugs Richard & Constance Stilwell brought their secret recipe for Humbugs with them when they moved to Mo

Richard & Constance Stilwell brought their secret recipe for Humbugs with them when they moved to Montreal from England in 1914. In 1927 Richard Stilwell who was also a violinist lost his job and in order to keep his family going they started to make and sell fudge that was made by their eldest daughter Gladys. Shortly after that they started making Humbugs and other candies in 1929 and they opene

d their first store in Verdun in 1933. The family moved the business to Centrale Street in Lasalle in the late 90’s, and about six years ago they closed the store, but Lorne Jenkins kept making limited amounts for loyal customers. In August 2013, it appeared that the supply of these wonderful candies was in serious danger of being cut off forever and so, after discussions with both Lorne Jenkins and my wife Toni, who’s store Le Panier, is in Pointe-Claire, Quebec, we decided to step in and revitalized the company. We are starting to bring back some of the old original flavours perfected the Richard & Constance all those years ago, such as Spearmint, Caramel, Butterscotch and Peppermint candies which are now available in all sizes and formats. Humbugs and our other traditional candies are handmade as they always have been, and so are all slightly different in size. By the way it is true…we do use fresh Creamery Butter in our Humbugs! The Original Stilwells™ Humbugs are sold across Canada and around the world to fans from as far away as Europe, Russia, China and Japan.
