Buying international sweets online gives you access to flavours you won’t always find in your local supermarket. Think Korean sweets, Japanese sweets, American sweets, chocolate, biscuits, gummies and fruity candies. Yet an attractive picture or a well-known brand name can hide important details.
So before you order, watch out for these three common pitfalls:
Don’t just compare the price – also look at the net weight. A 45 g pack, for example, is ideal for trying a new flavour. A box with multiple portions or a 250 g bag works better for a family evening, party or sharing sweets.
Also pay attention to the closure. Gummies, soft sweets and dried mango keep their quality better when the packaging can be properly sealed after opening. Products like popcorn and biscuits can lose their crunch more quickly if left open.
With chocolate and biscuits, check for milk, wheat, soya, egg, nuts and peanuts in particular. For gummies and marshmallows, gelatine is a key concern. Gelatine can be derived from pork and makes a product unsuitable for vegetarians or vegans.
For example: according to the product information, Orion Choco Pie contains wheat, milk, egg, soya and gelatine. Nerds Gummy Clusters Fruits list gelatine from pork and apple. If you need to avoid allergens or have dietary preferences, it’s wise to check the full ingredients list on both the product page and the packaging.
Use the nutritional information per 100 grams to compare different products fairly. A small pack may have few calories per portion, while the sugar content per 100 g is still relatively high. This is often the case with sweets, biscuits and sweet popcorn.
Store confectionery in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Chocolate can soften or discolour in heat. Popcorn and biscuits need a well-sealed container to keep their texture. Also check the best-before date on the packaging and don’t use a product if the packaging is damaged.
Why this suits the profile: The 152 g pack is manageable for anyone wanting to try several fruity sweet flavours without ordering a large stock straight away.
The net weight and nutritional values are clearly stated, so you can compare the price and composition rather than just judging by the colourful packaging.
152 g contents, multiple fruity flavours and suitable for sharing. The product information states 73.7 g sugar per 100 g.
Why this suits the profile: This Korean snack combines a cocoa layer with a soft, cake-like filling and is ideal for those who enjoy a more indulgent dessert moment.
The 468 g contents make the portion size clear and prevent a small individual snack product from being mistaken for a large stock.
Korean origin, combination of cocoa, dairy and wheat, and clear allergen labelling with milk, egg, soya and gluten.
Why this suits the profile: The sharing bag is practical for families, birthdays, film nights and other occasions where several people are sharing sweets.
The bag makes the total quantity and number of fruit flavours clear. Always check the current allergen information on the packaging.
250 g contents, six stated fruity flavour directions and a size suitable for group use. The product contains gelatine.
Why this suits the profile: The portion pack is handy for school, work, on the go or as a small sweet gift for someone wanting to try Japanese sweets.
The pack contains two portions, so you can judge the size in advance and are less likely to buy a large stock without knowing the flavour.
46.2 g per pack, crunchy biscuit sticks and a cookies-and-cream-style coating. The ingredients list mentions wheat, milk and soya.
For soft sweets, you could look at Cokoc Peeling Soft Candy White Peach Flavor 75g. The product information mentions concentrated peach and apple juice and advises supervision for young children. If you’re after chocolate and biscuits, you can compare Smarties Milk Chocolate Tubes - 6 x 34 g, G'woon Crispy Brownie Chocolate Cookies - 200 g or Royal Ballet Wonderful Copenhagen Danish Butter Cookies - 150 g.
For a film night, g'woon Sweet Popcorn - 175g and Bergen Candy Floss Cookies - 128 g are practical options. If you prefer fruit, take a look at PHILIPPINE BRAND Dried Mango 100 g. Watch out for the sulphites listed. For a gift set, you can combine several small packs, such as KitKat, Pocky, gummies and biscuits. Check the ingredients and shelf life for each product individually.
We’ve put together a full, up-to-date list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and comply with current European safety regulations.
That depends on the product, packaging and delivery costs. Compare the price per 100 grams and see if you can order several products at once. A larger pack can be better value for sharing sweets, but small packs reduce the risk of a bad buy.
Check whether the product page and packaging provide information about ingredients, allergens, nutritional values, net weight and shelf life. With Japanese chocolate, Pocky and KitKat, flavour variants can be temporary or seasonal. The current product packaging is the definitive source.
Store chocolate in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Gummies and soft sweets stay in better condition if you seal the bag properly after opening. Biscuits and popcorn need an airtight container to stay crunchy. Always follow the specific storage advice on the packaging.
