Anyone looking to buy sweets online will quickly find a huge selection: chocolate, fruit gums, gummy bears, boiled sweets, sour sweets, liquorice and international specialities are often displayed side by side. This wide choice makes comparing products easier, but it can also lead to disappointing purchases. Product images do not always show the actual pack size, for example, while terms such as “mix” or “limited edition” reveal little about ingredients, allergens or the most suitable occasion.
Eye-catching packaging does not automatically mean a large quantity. Always check the net weight, the number of individual packs and – for individually wrapped products – the actual number of pieces. An 80-g bag is better suited to a small portion, while 160-g or 175-g packs are easier to plan for a film night, family gathering or party.
Multipacks should also be checked carefully. The Toffifee White Chocolate Hazelnut Sweets offer, for example, contains 250 g as 2 × 125 g. This split may be more practical for two households or sharing than a single box.
“Fruity”, “creamy” or “sour” describes the taste, but says nothing about gelatine, milk ingredients, nuts or colourings. If you are looking for vegetarian, low-allergen or specific international sweets, check the ingredients and allergen information before buying.
For fruit gums, gelatine, wheat ingredients or traces of milk may be relevant. Chocolate and pralines often contain milk, soya and hazelnuts. For people with allergies, the statement “May contain traces of …” is also important.
Chocolate is sensitive to heat and major temperature fluctuations. Fruit gums can become sticky or lose their texture in damp conditions. Follow the storage instructions: store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, the bag should be sealed tightly again.
The best-before date is often printed on the packaging and may vary by batch. Online listings therefore commonly state “see packaging”. For gifts, choose a delivery that leaves plenty of time before the planned occasion.
For price comparisons, the price per 100 g is more informative than the pack price alone. A sweets mix containing several smaller varieties can offer good value through its range, even if individual components come in smaller portions. For a gift box or a stock-up, larger bags and multipacks are often easier to plan.
Individually wrapped sweets have benefits when it comes to hygiene, portion control and transport. Find a suitable selection in the individually wrapped sweets category.
Do not compare just the flavour; also check:
For children, age recommendations and the risk of choking should also be taken into account. Sweets containing small, hard or spherical pieces should not be given to young children without supervision. Products containing certain colourings may carry the legally required warning that they can have an adverse effect on children’s activity and attention.
For enjoying at home, a single variety such as strawberry fruit gums, chocolate or liquorice may be enough. For sharing, a varied mix is often more suitable. When choosing a sweets gift, attractive packaging, individually portioned pieces and a sufficiently long shelf life are just as important as the flavour.
Kinder Chocolate and mixed mini products are well suited to family gatherings, while Lindt LINDOR or Ferrero Giotto may be more appropriate as portionable chocolate specialities for adults and shared coffee breaks. If you prefer sour sweets, you can choose between fruity-sour chips, Dragon Tongues and fizzy boiled sweets.

We have put together a complete, regularly updated list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and the safety regulations applicable in the EU.
For a classic fruit gum selection, options include Haribo Primavera Strawberries, Haribo Peaches, Haribo Quaxi and Haribo Balla Stixx. These products vary in texture, fruit profile, bag size and ingredients. If you want to buy gelatine-free sweets, check each ingredients list separately, as one brand does not necessarily use the same recipe for all its products.
When it comes to chocolate, the options range from Toffifee White Chocolate with hazelnut and caramel and Ferrero Giotto to Lindt LINDOR. According to the product information, Toffifee White Chocolate is made in Germany and contains milk, hazelnuts, soya and peanuts, among other ingredients. The pack is listed as 2 × 125 g. Such individual packs are practical for gifting or sharing, provided the allergens are suitable for the recipient.
International sweets such as ENNJOI Freeze Dried Candy, YOYO Gummy Jelly or mango and tamarillo sweets can offer unusual textures and flavours. For imported products, pay particularly close attention to the country of origin, the responsible person in the EU, colouring warnings and German labelling. Liquorice containing salmiak, such as Fazer Tyrkisk Peber, has an intense flavour that may not suit everyone.
For several people, packs of around 150 g or more, mixed mini selections or individually wrapped sweets are practical. This makes it easier to accommodate different tastes and distribute portions. In the event of allergies, the entire pack should be available so that the ingredients and warnings can be checked.
As a general rule, store sweets in a cool, dry place away from light. Chocolate should not be kept next to a radiator or in direct sunlight. Opened bags of fruit gums and chewy sweets retain their intended texture for longer when sealed airtight.
As well as sugar and nutritional information, check the ingredients, any colouring warnings and the risk of choking. Young children should not eat sweets unsupervised. In the case of intolerances, milk, nuts, soya, gluten and gelatine must be checked against the specific product labelling.
