The Ultimate Summer Treats Guide for Picnics, Road Trips & BBQs

Summer in Ireland means making the most of every bit of sunshine while it lasts.

Whether it’s a last-minute beach trip, a garden BBQ, or a picnic in the park, one thing always makes summer gatherings better: good snacks.

At Brodericks we make handmade treats designed for sharing, snacking, and bringing along for every summer adventure.

Here are a few of our favourite ways to enjoy them this season.

Picnic-Perfect Treats

No picnic spread is complete without something sweet.

Our bite-sized pouches and sharing tubs are easy to throw into a picnic basket and perfect for passing around after sandwiches and crisps.

Bonus points if you manage to keep them from melting before everyone arrives.

BBQ Desserts Made Easy

After burgers and sausages, everyone wants “just something small.”

That’s where our rocky road slices, caramel shortbread, and chocolate bites come in. No prep, no baking, no stress — just seriously good treats ready to go.

They’re also ideal if you’re heading to someone else’s BBQ and don’t want to arrive empty-handed.

The Best Road Trip Snack?

Chocolate. Obviously.

Whether you’re driving across the country or heading for a quick day trip, every road trip needs snacks.

Our bars are perfect for keeping in the car for that mid-journey sugar fix — especially when Irish traffic decides your “quick trip” is suddenly two hours longer.

Handmade in Ireland Since 1983

At Broderick’s, everything still starts with the same idea it did over 40 years ago: making indulgent treats people genuinely love.

Family-run, handmade in Ireland, and crafted with recipes that have been passed down through generations, our treats are all about sharing good moments with good people.

And summer is full of those moments.
