About Elizabeth Shaw
Elizabeth Shaw is a British chocolate brand dating to 1881 and built on the after-dinner mint crisp, still made to the original recipe. It was granted a royal warrant in 1963 after years of supplying the royal households, and the company retells that the Queen Mother sent sweet coupons during the Second World War to secure her peppermint creams. Colian acquired it in 2016.
