Coltsfoot Rock is aconfectionary created fromcoltsfoot extract by the UK confectioners Stockley's Sweets, based inOswaldtwistle,Lancashire, England. As a product, it is a hardened stick of brittlerock candy flavoured withcoltsfoot.
Coltsfoot rock has gained acknowledgements from the UK Regional Tourism Board, Lancashire Tourism Council and culinary organisations such as Gourmet Britain.[citation needed]
The recipe is secret to Stockley's Sweets and, as they are the only manufacturer, all products that are labelled as such have originated from Stockley's traditional factory.[1]
The history and popularity of the confectionery comes from its supposed medicinal benefits; originally the leaves of the coltsfoot plant were dried and then smoked, and this was thought to have relievedasthma.[2]
