Candy Sweets

What makes candy sweets so special?

Candy isn't just sugary treats; it's tiny parcels of joy that connect us to cherished memories. Remember the excitement of choosing your favourites from the sweet shop counter? That feeling never really goes away. Today's candy selection offers something for everyone, whether you prefer the satisfying crunch of boiled sweets or the playful chewiness of gummy bears.

The beauty of candy sweets lies in their incredible variety. From classic toffees that stick to your teeth in the best possible way to innovative fizzy sweets that pop and crackle on your tongue, there's always something new to try. And with options ranging from traditional liquorice to modern foam sweets, you're bound to find your perfect match.

How do I choose the right candy sweets?

Selecting candy sweets depends on what you're after. If you want something that lasts, boiled sweets or lollipops are brilliant choices; perfect for savouring during a long car journey or while working at your desk. For those who love texture, chewy sweets offer that satisfying bite, whilst chocolate treats provide that melt-in-your-mouth luxury we all crave.

Consider the occasion, too. Mints are ideal for freshening breath after a meal, whilst colourful jelly sweets make fantastic party bag fillers. And if you're buying for someone with dietary requirements, our vegetarian and vegan sweets ensure nobody misses out on the fun.

What are the most popular types of candy sweets?

The world of candy sweets is wonderfully diverse. Fizzy sweets remain eternally popular, delivering that tongue-tingling sensation that makes your eyes water in the best way. Chewy sweets, from classic fruit chews to modern sour varieties, offer that satisfying texture that keeps you coming back for more.

Gummy sweets have evolved far beyond simple bears; now you'll find everything from fizzy cola bottles to giant strawberries. Meanwhile, traditional options like liquorice sweets and toffees prove that classic flavours never go out of style. For something fun and interactive, pencils, laces and belts let you play with your food before you eat it.

Are there candy sweets suitable for special diets?

Absolutely! The confectionery world has embraced inclusivity, and our range of diet-friendly sweets is available for all. Vegetarian sweets have become increasingly common, using plant-based gelling agents instead of gelatine. Vegan sweets take this a step further, ensuring no animal products are used at all.

Many traditional sweets are naturally suitable for various diets. Hard-boiled sweets, for instance, often contain just sugar, glucose syrup and flavourings. Always check the ingredients if you have specific requirements, but rest assured that everyone can enjoy the pleasure of candy sweets.

Why do candy sweets make perfect gifts?

There's something inherently cheerful about receiving candy sweets as a gift. They're personal without being presumptuous, affordable without seeming cheap, and they show you've put thought into bringing someone a moment of happiness. Whether it's a selection of luxury chocolates for a special occasion or a nostalgic mix of retro sweets for a birthday, candy makes people smile.

Creating your sweet selection adds that personal touch. Mix and match different types, perhaps some elegant mints, colourful lollipops, and classic toffees, to create a bespoke gift that shows you know what they love. Our guide to making sweet hampers offers brilliant tips for putting together the perfect selection.
