M&S is taking sweetmaker Swizzels to court as it claims its Pig Mugs sweets are “highly similar” to its infamous Percy Pigs // The retailer claims that confused customers could end up buying the wrong porcine treatFancy the sweetest slice of Percy Pig flavour? Try my delicious giant cookie idea, which stars a biscuit base, Percy Pig dessert sauce, buttercream and our multicoloured Party Percys. Joel Smith, intellectual property partner at law firm Hogan Lovells,said it would be difficult for M&S to argue that Swizzels had acted unfairly. For the buttercream, beat together the butter, dessert sauce, icing sugar and milk until smooth. Gradually add drops of pink or red food colouring, mixing after each addition, until the buttercream is as pink as Percy.

M&S has a proud history as a leading British innovator and for over 136 years customers have turned to M&S for unique, original, quality products – conceived, created and developed alongside trusted suppliers and produced to the highest standards,” anM&S spokesman said. For the base, in a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and the sugarwith an electric whisk until light and fluffy. Lawyers for the high street chain had claimed that the two sweets’ designs were so similar that its customers might have bought the wrong item in error. Whisk in the egg and the egg yolk, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed until fully incorporated. Add the Percy Pig dessert sauce and whisk.Whisk together 500ml custard, 100g Percy Pig dessert sauce and a few drops of pink food colouring, then spoon into the trifle bowl, smoothing on top. In their legal submission, an example was used of a customer who loved the sweets so much they had a tattoo of Percy’s face. The case has been filed at the High Court earlier this week, with official papers showing M&S is after damages as well as an injuction against Swizzels to stop it from selling Pigs Mugs. M&S’s arguments centre on Swizzels’ Pig Mugs gums, being both confusingly similar to Percy, or where the public can distinguish the two products, whether Swizzels are benefiting from the clear link generated between the two. I love how pink this treat is! Use Percy sponge roll to whip up this tasty trifle, topped with Percy Pig sweets. Serves six.
