British confectionery company Langtins has expanded its product portfolio with a new freezer-free snack, Coneys, designed to capture consumer interest in ice cream flavours outside the summer season.

The product, which mimics the chocolate-filled tip of a traditional ice cream cone, is packaged as bite-sized, mini-coned treats with crisp wafer shells and creamy centres.

The launch range includes vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, coconut and dual chocolate variants. Each pack contains six units, with multi-pack options aimed at retail channels.

Langtins said Coneys addresses a gap in the UK market for ice cream-inspired confectionery in that it does not require frozen storage, providing retailers with a year-round, indulgent snacking option.

The company positions the product between biscuits and traditional confectionery, targeting consumers seeking premium treats for everyday or special-occasion consumption.

Founder Ibrahim Sidat said the product enables retailers to “retain ice-cream-style appeal outside peak summer months while maintaining simplicity in storage and supply”.

Langtins currently distributes Coneys through UK retail outlets, with additional B2B and direct-to-consumer channels.

The launch complements Langtins’ existing portfolio, which includes Noomz, a line of freeze-dried sweets, highlighting the company’s focus on innovation and flavour-led snacking solutions for the UK market.
