Swedish candy has built a real reputation online for being tangier and less one-note sweet than typical American gummies, so I tried Swedish Candyland's BUBS Pick-N-Mix to see if a mail-order mix lives up to the hype.
This 1-pound bag ($16.99, down from $24.99) packs 453 grams of hand-packed BUBS candy imported from Sweden in a resealable pouch. The mix leans into the sweet-tangy-fruity profile Swedish candy is known for, with reviewers calling out favorites like Tutti Frutti Diamonds, Banana Toffee Ovals, Sour Cool Cola Skulls, and Strawberry Pomegranate Ovals.
The resealable pouch is a genuinely practical touch for a pound of candy that isn't meant to be finished in one sitting, and the printed expiration date (November 2027 on the batch checked) is a good sign of real inventory turnover rather than old stock sitting in a warehouse. The tangier, less cloying sweetness compared to typical US gummy candy is the main draw, and this mix delivers that in a genuinely varied assortment rather than just a few repeated shapes.
For anyone curious about authentic Swedish candy or already hooked from a trip abroad, this Pick-N-Mix delivers real variety and real BUBS quality. Check out the BUBS Pick-N-Mix and browse Swedish Candyland's full candy selection for current pricing.
