The Easter season is enjoyed by people around the world, presenting the perfect opportunity to meet up and spend some time with loved ones. For many, Easter celebrations are linked with delicious chocolate and confectionery. By stocking up on amazing wholesale Easter sweets, you can easily provide a delicious range that appeals to countless shoppers during the springtime season.

As a confectionery retailer, Easter eggs are obviously key. But if your range contains sweets, chocolate and other tasty bits and bobs as well, then you’re in a great place for the upcoming celebrations. Ensuring you are fully stocked for the Easter season with sweets and confectionery means that you’re able to maximise the opportunities for supplementary sales. You can do this quickly and easily by buying Easter sweets in bulk.

We love Easter here at Hancocks, so we wanted to share some pearls of wisdom with you before it gets underway. So, here are some must-have items, plus classic wholesale confectionery choices to consider.


Sell Something Unique this Easter

Kingsway Rabbit Heads

As a retailer, finding ways to stand out from the crowd and cater to different types of customers can give you the edge during a big event like Easter. Never underestimate the power of word of mouth and social media! If you can put together sweet collections and mixes that are unique, you’ll be well on your way to a winning Easter period!

Cone bags and sweet boxes are a great choice, so why not take the time ahead of Easter to create some of your own sweet gifts and offer something unique? Sweet cones are proving to be popular and filled with your choice of sensational wholesale pick n mix, they’re an easy Easter crowd-pleaser! You could even opt for sweet jars to offer customers even more delicious confectionery this Easter!

In terms of seasonal pick and mix, there are eggciting bulk options such as the Kingsway Rabbit Heads and the fruity Kingsway Happy Flowers that are perfect for pre-made Easter mixes! Offering something different, that is unique to your store, can really help take your sales to a new level and amazing sweets like these are hard to resist!


Must-have Confectionery

Cadbury Creme Egg

As you would expect from the UK’s largest confectionery wholesaler, Hancocks has a superb assortment of Easter sweets that are bound to be a hit!

There are plenty of Easter essentials that are, without doubt, must-haves for the upcoming Easter push.

You’ll also find plenty of brand-new confectionery products that are perfect for Easter. We adore these Yellow & Pink Chick Mallows and Pink & White Bunny Mallows, while Maltesers White Chocolate Mini Bunnies are sure to be well received by your customers!


Excellent Novelty Easter Lines

Lindt Gold Bunny

It’s important to think outside the box occasionally – this can really help you capture the imagination of customers and stand out from your competitors. In this vein, a strong selection of Easter impulse lines will serve you and your customers well. The Candy Realms Spring Mallow Pops and the Lucy Lamb Mallow Lollies are easy to merchandise and a great place to start.

The range of Lindt is always seasonal favourites and their Gold Bunnies are super cute Easter chocolate. Shoppers who prefer something sweeter will adore the Lindt Gold Bunny White Chocolate, whilst the Kinder Bunny Milky Caramel and the NOMO Choc Fudge Bunny offer something truly different. Of course, the NOMO option is vegan-friendly, broadening appeal in-store.
