About Handy Candy

Written by the company

Handy Candy is one of the longest established, online sweet companies in the world, starting all the way back in 2004, when only a handful of comic book freaks knew what the Marvel Universe was and Jeff Bezos was only worth a few million dollars!

Our speciality is our luxury themed Gift Boxes and Sweet Hampers, packed with a huge array of old fashioned sweets, retro favourites and classic chocolate. From small tuck boxes to enormous wicker hampers, we have a gift to suit all tastes and budgets!

We also have a great range of personalised Sweetie Jars, and the UK's best Pick & Mix counter!

We are particularly proud of our commitment to the environment. All our packaging is 100% plastic free, our sweet jars are reusable glass Kilner jars, and our Pick & Mix pouches and weigh out sweet bags are biodegradable. Plus a percentage of every purchase at Handy Candy via Stripe will go towards Carbon removal projects around the world.

With over 500 sweets on offer, including Sugar Free and Vegan sweets, there is something for everyone at Handy Candy!

NOTHING WENT WRONG

NOTHING WENT WRONG, IT’S JUST THAT THE FLAVOUR OF ALL 3 VARIETIES WAS NOT TO MY SATISFACTION.
Both the blackcurrant and the lime had very little flavour, and the orange flavour was of the pith (bitter) rather than the juice or zest.
A great disappointment all round

Lovely fresh

Lovely fresh, nostalgic sweets. Swift delivery. Only gripe was a 15% off delivery offer i found which wasn't applied and it seemed no one believed me. Watch out folks, there are a LOT of offers online, they often don't work - be wary !

Great service

Great service. My order was processed very quickly. I'm usually sceptical about broken rock as it is normally soft but these were perfect all 3 jars were perfect. I have ordered more today. This is my go to place when I need. Excellent service.
