Why Swedish Candy Stands Out
Swedish sweets have moved beyond a social-media moment and are a known and loved quantity. Their focus on textures and punchy flavours gives you a simple way to add something different to your range. Plus, data shows that Swedish sweets have grown by 67% over the past two years and are forecast to keep growing1.
Why Swedish Candy Stands Out
The term Lördagsgodis, which translates to ‘Saturday sweets’, is central to Sweden’s approach to confectionery. It describes a tradition in which families enjoy sweet treats once a week, and it centres around choosing a pick n mix selection to enjoy together, in turn making sweet treats an occasion to share and savour.
Among sweet-lovers, Swedish treats are known for their soft, gummy-mallowy texture and often fruity flavour combinations. For instance, there are a lot of dual flavours, embodied by vibrant two-tone colour schemes and fun shapes. Those already familiar with the BUBS range know exactly what we’re talking about.
Given that the Lördagsgodis inspiration is grounded in health, ingredient quality is a key factor in the ethos of many Swedish confectionery manufacturers. This is also, in part, why a lot of Swedish sweets are vegan-friendly.
Especially online, Swedish ranges fit naturally with the candy-salad craze on TikTok and social media, especially in the US (which we know has influence in the UK!). Candy salad content racks up millions of views and interactions, built on mixes with different colours, flavours and textures—qualities that Swedish confectionery already has in abundance.
The New Kid on the Block
If you want to bring the trend into your range, Hyttis is an easy place to start. Both mixes have a soft foam-gummy texture, a vegan recipe and flavours inspired by Swedish favourites. The Magic Mix combines raspberry and lemon, strawberry and vanilla, and tutti frutti sweets, whilst the Fun Mix pairs strawberry and vanilla with blueberry and strawberry candies.
New to the UK, Hyttis sweets are ready to make a splash. Focus group research highlighted the impact of the brand’s delicious flavours and soft texture, meaning that the majority of those surveyed said they would buy Swedish candy again2.
These new Swedish-inspired bags come in cases of 12 and have an RRP of £1, giving shoppers an affordable way to dig into the trend. Hyttis is brought to the UK exclusively by World of Sweets, which means that here at Hancocks, we are primed to help you add them to your range.
Build an Irresistible Swedish Sweets Range
Of course, a new brand isn’t the only way to inject Swedish magic into your range. Here at Hancocks, we stock a smashing selection of bulk formats of modern Swedish favourites, bagged classics, and great-value lines that embody the spirit of Swedish confectionery!
Mention Swedish sweets to anyone, and the first thing they’ll think of is most likely Swedish Fish. Whether you’re after the bags of the original Swedish Fish, or bulk formats like the Kingsway Vegan Cherry Fish, you’ll find exactly what you need in our range.
The aforementioned BUBS is quite possibly the biggest Swedish sweets brand right now. Their range is filled with vegan-friendly options in bulk formats and pre-packed bags—plus lines that are exclusive to Hancocks! From their iconic two-toned colours, punchy flavour pairings, eye-catching shapes and moreish texture, it is easy to see why these are so popular.
If you want to add tasty variety to your Swedish range, then you’ll want to make a note of Dals. They boast a host of chocolate-covered treats alongside classic foams in bulk formats that are perfect for pick n mix, pre-packed gifts, and beyond.
