Boiled Pick n Mix Sweets

Traditional Boiled Sweets

When pick n mix first became a nationwide phenomenon in Britain all those years ago, most of the wholesale sweets on offer were hard-boiled. New versions have come along since, but some favourites have stood the test of time! All kinds of boiled sweets are still popular today, and you can’t beat some of the classics. From Rhubarb & Custards to Cola Cubes and Mint Humbugs, there is such a variety of hard-boiled classics that are still popular today.

Sour Boiled Sweets

Hard-boiled sweets are known for their lasting flavour. And that’s why fans of sour sweets love them so much! Here at Hancocks, we have a brilliant range of boiled sour sweets that shoppers will surely enjoy.

The Barnetts Super Sour range includes several extra tangy flavours that will tickle your tastebuds, to say the least! From Raspberry and Apple to Rhubarb & Custard, Cola and Lemon, there are plenty of options that are sure to please every sour sweet fan. For a truly wild pick, Barnetts also make Zombie Bombs – a sour sweet that is hot, too!

You’ll also find sour classics like Sherbet Lemons. There are several options on offer with some top brands to choose from. If you’re looking for individually wrapped sweets, Stickley’s Sherbet Lemons fit the bill, whilst for sugar-free you’ll want the Bonds jars. And if you just want a bulk bag of Sherbet Lemons, Kingsway has got you covered.

Jars of Boiled Sweets

Jars of sweets capitalise on the nostalgia of retro sweet shops. And it’s an atmosphere that shoppers love! The range of sweets available in jars is varied, so you’ll be able to cater to the tastes of all customers.

Specialising in retro sweets, Barnetts have a wide range of sweet jars – and they’re not all sour, either! Other picks include absolute classics like Sherbons, Army & Navy and Aniseed Twists, to name just a few. Any of these are great weigh-out sweets that are as tasty as they are nostalgic.

The Bonds range of jars looks fantastic with their retro labels, and their sweets are mouth-watering! Their traditional British sweets include Sugar-Free Everton Mints, ever-popular Cola Cubes and Chocolate Eclairs.

Continuing the theme of British classics in jars, the Jesmona Black Bullets are minty treats invented in North East England. Made using just three ingredients – sugar, glucose and peppermint oil – they were hugely popular in shipyards before being stocked in newsagents and shops all over the area. Now, people love them all over the country!

Diet-friendly Boiled Sweets

Just because lots of boiled sweets tend to be retro treats, by no means does that mean there aren’t diet-friendly options. Lots of lines, including the Swizzels Fruity Pops and Double Lollies, are vegan. You’ll even find vegan Rhubarb & Custards from Tilley’s and Royale Kola Bricks that are vegan-friendly. The Dobsons range of Pips jars includes five flavours that are halal, whilst there are also a huge number of boiled sweets that are gluten-free. You can use our handy filters to find sweets that are suitable for different requirements with ease.

The scope of boiled pick and mix sweets is very broad. With treats varying from candy canes to herbal tablets, there truly is a boiled sweet to match everyone’s taste. Whatever your customers love, you’ll be able to find it here at Hancocks, the UK’s largest confectionery wholesaler.
