From Malmö to the World: The Pioneers of Pick & Mix
Founded in 1982 as a family business in Malmö, Candypeople has evolved from a local shop into a global powerhouse of Swedish confectionery. The brand was a primary architect of the 1980s “Pick & Mix” boom, a movement that defined the Swedish Lördagsgodis (Saturday Sweets) tradition. By providing retailers with the iconic “candy walls” and over 90 varieties of treats, they helped turn a dental health recommendation into a beloved cultural ritual. Today, Candypeople exports the authentic taste of Sweden to over 30 countries. Whether it is through their partnership with IKEA or their presence in specialty boutiques, they remain the ultimate ambassadors for the Swedish candy experience. Their range often sits alongside other giants like Malaco and Cloetta, ensuring that UK fans of Nordic sweets have access to the highest quality foam and gummy textures.
Iconic Collaborations: From GB Glace Flavors to S-Märke Classics
Candypeople is renowned for its creative genius in transforming famous Swedish flavors into unique confectionery. One of their most celebrated achievements is the collaboration with GB Glace, Sweden’s most iconic ice cream brand, turning legendary lollies into gummy treats. However, no discussion of the brand is complete without the S-märke (S-brand) series. These products, such as S-märke Sour Chews and S-märke Salty Chews, are famous for their extreme flavor profiles and distinct powder-coated textures. Many of the S-märke chews are verified vegan, as they utilize potato starch or pectin instead of gelatin. This innovation allows them to compete with traditional favorites from Bubs and Toms, offering a diverse range of “supersalt” and “supersour” options that cater to the adventurous palates of UK candy enthusiasts.
The "Clean Candy" Standard: Natural Colors and Real Sugar
In an era where consumers are increasingly conscious of ingredients, Candypeople sets a high bar with their “Clean Candy” philosophy. Adhering to strict EU food safety regulations, the brand prioritizes natural ingredients over synthetic alternatives. Instead of artificial dyes like Red 40, they use fruit and vegetable concentrates—such as blackcurrant, carrot, and spirulina—to achieve their vibrant hues. Furthermore, Candypeople products are crafted with real sugar and glucose syrup, completely avoiding High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) and trans fats. This commitment to quality is evident in their Dalahorse and Sour Vikings lines. While they share the shelves with other premium Nordic brands like Fazer and Konfekta, Candypeople stands out for making traditional Swedish treats accessible, delicious, and transparently produced for the modern international market.

Typically, delivery to the UK takes between 5 to 10 business days. Please note that all prices are displayed in GBP, and while we handle the export process, local customs processing times may occasionally vary.
Following Brexit, orders shipped from the EU to the UK may be subject to import VAT and customs duties depending on the total order value. These charges are set by the UK government and are usually collected by the courier before delivery.

Swedish candy is famous for its "cleaner" ingredient profile and unique textures. Unlike many UK sweets, Candy People products use natural colours derived from fruits and vegetables rather than synthetic dyes. We also use real sugar instead of High Fructose Corn Syrup. From our iconic "S-märke" sour chews to our salty liquorice, you will notice a more intense flavour and a superior, high-quality mouthfeel.
"Lördagsgodis," or "Saturday Sweets," is a beloved Swedish cultural tradition dating back to the 1950s. It encourages families to visit "candy walls" once a week to fill a bag with a diverse Pick & Mix selection. As a pioneer of the 1980s Pick & Mix boom in Malmö, Candy People is proud to bring this tradition to the UK, offering the same iconic varieties found in Swedish homes.
We offer a wide range of options for different dietary needs. Many of our famous "S-märke" products are vegan-friendly, as they are made with potato starch or pectin instead of gelatin.
