Our story

Confectionery, made better

On a mission to redefine confectionery for the better.

Our approach

What “better” means to us

01

High in fibre, naturally

Made with chicory root fibre and whole ingredients like dates and pistachio, so the goodness comes from real food.

02

Made by hand

Small batches, cut and finished by hand, never rushed.

03

Made to savour

Rich enough that one or two feels like a proper treat.

The founder

Hello, I'm Ruby

I've spent my career developing food. I founded byRuby, which was later acquired by Charlie Bigham’s. Since then I've created products for retail brands and bakeries, and I teach food product development at Leiths.

Beloved Bites is where all of that comes together. It's confectionery that feels indulgent but is made with ingredients I'm proud of.

Why marshmallows

A sweet worth choosing

Most marshmallows are an afterthought: very sweet, very soft and not much else. I wanted to make one you'd choose on purpose, built around real ingredients and finished in chocolate.

5%

of all profits go to Bristol Drugs Project

Bristol Drugs Project supports people affected by drug and alcohol use in Bristol. A cause close to my heart.
