Buying sweets and snacks online is convenient, especially when you’re looking for American sweets, Japanese sweets or well-known brands that aren’t always available in the supermarket. However, an attractive packet doesn’t guarantee that a product will suit your needs. Pay close attention to portion size, ingredients, allergens and how you intend to use the product.
A big bag or multipack may look good value, but always check the net weight and the number of portions. A smaller pack is often more practical for a party or a treat, while a large bag works better for sharing. Also look at the price per 100 grams if that’s shown.
Fruit gums, dried mango and fruit-flavoured sweets can still be high in sugar. For example, Skittles Fruity contains 73.7 grams of sugar per 100 grams. According to the product information, Philippine Brand Dried Mango contains 56 grams of sugar per 100 grams and includes sugar and sulphite alongside the mango. So always check the ingredients list and nutritional information, rather than relying on the picture or flavour name.
With international snacks, the ingredients and allergens can differ from the versions you already know. According to the product information, Oreo Birthday Cake Flavored Cookies contain gluten, milk and soya. Toblerone Milk Almond Nougat contains milk, almonds, egg and soya. Always read the label before ordering, and check the packaging again on delivery. The packaging may contain more or different information than the online product page.
For a family or party, multipacks and share bags are practical. Smarties Milk Chocolate Tubes comes as 6 tubes of 34 grams. Hershey Cookie n Creme Rounds is available as 10 x 96 grams. For a small gift or a snack moment, smaller sizes such as Pocky at 45 grams or Nerds Gummy Clusters at 45 grams are easier to divide.
When comparing, look at:
Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight. So don’t just check the flavour – check the composition too. When buying biscuits online, wheat, milk, soya, egg and nuts are common things to watch out for. With liquorice, gelatine or wheat may be present. According to the product information, Harlekijntjes Soft Sweet Licorice contains pork gelatine and wheat, among other ingredients.
If you eat a vegetarian or vegan diet, you need to be extra careful. Red Band Soft Sweet Candies contains gelatine and, according to the product information, is not suitable for vegetarians or vegans. If in doubt, it’s wise to follow the current label.
Chocolate, biscuits and soft sweets are affected by heat and moisture. Generally, store products in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. According to the product information, KitKat Strawberry Short Cake should be stored below 28 °C. Sweets with a soft texture, such as Cokoc Peeling Soft Candy White Peach, must be sealed well after opening and used immediately as directed on the pack.
When ordering chocolate online, also check:
Why this fits the profile: A compact size to try a new flavour without ordering a large stock straight away. Ideal for a treat or a small snack moment.
The net weight of 97 grams makes the quantity clear upfront. The product information also lists the allergens and nutritional values present.
97 grams; chocolate biscuits with a cake-like cream filling; ready to eat straight from the pack.
Why this fits the profile: For fans of Japanese sweets and unusual combinations who prefer several small portions rather than one large bar.
The packaging states 9 individual portions and a net weight of 104.4 grams. This makes sharing easier than with loose sweets.
9 pieces; strawberry flavour; combination of wafer, white chocolate and freeze-dried strawberry pieces according to the product description.
Why this fits the profile: A generous share bag for birthdays, film nights and visitors when you want to put out soft sweets for everyone to help themselves.
The bag contains 228 grams and states approximately 14 portions. The product information also warns about gelatine and a potential choking hazard for young children.
228 grams; soft fruit sweets; natural colourings according to the product information; ideal for sharing.
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, the pack size and any delivery charges. Compare the price per 100 grams and check whether a multipack really is better value. With international snacks, buying online can be particularly appealing because of the range, not just the price.
Always check the date on the packaging. Unopened biscuits, chocolate and sweets generally remain good until the stated date if stored in a cool, dry place. After opening, the texture and freshness can change more quickly. So seal bags and boxes properly.
Check allergens, portion size and the warnings on the packaging. Small, hard sweets can be a choking hazard. Red Band, for example, states that young children need supervision and that the product is not suitable for children under three years old. Also bear in mind gelatine, colourings and the sugar content.
