Your own sweet time

From dining out to foraging your own ingredients, find your perfect escape with Werther’s Original

Whether it’s the joy of watching your favourite dish bubbling away in the oven or the art of meticulously measuring out your ingredients, there’s a lot to love about cooking. Above all else, it’s a great way of tuning out of the world and tuning back into you – and the same goes for Werther’s Originals.

Made with fresh cream, butter and a whole lot of love and attention, these irresistible caramel candies are all about helping you find a moment to pause. Between the wonderfully oozy Creamy Filling, the sumptuously chewy Creamy Toffee and the classic Butter Candy, there’s a Werther’s Original for everyone and every occasion.

Of course, enjoying a Werther’s moment is just the start. Here are some of the other ways you can make your day feel that little bit more special…

Explore a food market

From indulgent sweet treats and baked goods to fresh meat and veggies, food markets can be a treasure trove of delicious produce. Of course, you’ll also be doing your bit to support independent suppliers and, often, the planet, as most sell local goods that travel shorter distances, and as a result have a lower carbon footprint than supermarket produce.

Cook with a loved one

Be it your partner or a grandchild, cooking is a great way to connect with those you love. From choosing a recipe all the way through to the creation – with all the funny mishaps along the way – you can be sure time spent in the kitchen with somebody special will make your day feel better.

Forage your ingredients

We’re blessed with an abundance of wild ingredients here in the UK. Nettles and wild garlic are great choices for early spring, while elderflowers (ideal for cordials) flourish in the summer. Just remember to always forage responsibly and sustainably and if you have any doubt about a plant’s identity, it’s safer not to pick it.

Dine out

If you’re somebody who tends to save dining out for the weekend, why not shake things up a bit with a spontaneous midweek dinner date? Not only will it help break up the usual working week routine, but you’ll also get to tuck into an appetising meal without having to wash up afterwards. What’s not to love?
