Barratt Sweet Shop, in partnership with Universal Products & Experiences (UP&E), is adding a delightful twist to its confectionery lineup with the introduction of two exciting new products inspired by Illumination’s beloved Minions.
Set to launch on July 6, 2026, and available only at Poundland, the new offerings are Barratt Sweet Shop Sweet Bananaaaaa gummies and Fizzy Bananaaaaa gummies. These treats feature banana-flavored gummies coated with a light sugar dusting, available in both sweet and fizzy variations.
Drawing inspiration from the iconic Minions, this product introduction represents an ideal blend of humor and unique flavor profiles.
In addition to this exciting new launch, the Valeo Foods UK portfolio will also see a playful packaging update for Poppets. The core Poppets line will sport limited-edition Minions-themed designs, transforming traditional packaging into “Minion-sized missions” that depict classic characters interacting with the beloved chocolate treats. This update combines soft indulgence with playful charm, boosting impulse buying while providing a fun and family-friendly confectionery option.
The Barratt Sweet Shop Sweet Bananaaaaa gummies and Fizzy Bananaaaaa gummies come in a 120g pouch, retailing at £1.00. The Poppets offerings include Milk Chocolate Coated Chewy Toffees and Dark Chocolate Coated Mint Creams, both available in a 130g pouch for £1.20 and a 40g carton priced at £0.60.
The Poppets range is currently available at major retailers such as Asda, Morrisons, and Tesco, as well as through Cash & Carry wholesalers. Meanwhile, the Barratt Sweet Shop products will be sold exclusively through Poundland.
