What Makes American Sweets Different to British Sweets?

There are a lot of things that make American sweets stand out from those that Brits are used to. From their presentation to the fact that the sweets themselves are just different, there are any number of reasons that they will appeal to British customers.

If you have American stock on your shelves, then you’ll have seen for yourself just how eye-catching they tend to be. Packaging is a big part of their appeal! It doesn’t matter what kind of candy it is, the packaging stands out. There are many vibrant designs with charismatic mascots, whilst some of the older brands ooze retro charm. But the actual candy itself is a huge draw, too.

Across the spectrum of American sweets, there is huge variety. Each treat has its own unique approach that makes it stand out from the crowd. Take Tootsie Rolls, for example. They’re a tasty chocolate taffy. Not a bar, a chewy taffy that won’t melt in the heat. Then there’s the range of supremely sour sweets like Warheads and Toxic Waste. These are so potent that it can be challenging to keep them in your mouth!

There has long since been a market for American sweets here in the UK, but the current growth in popularity isn’t going away! Whether you opt for household names or the latest blockbuster treats, there’s no time like the present to bolster your offering of stateside sweets.
