Quick answer

Bon Bon is a Swedish candy name that grew from a Stockholm pick-and-mix shop into a recognizable brand. It sits between cult-niche makers and the mass-market giants, with strong sour and licorice ranges and a slightly more grown-up flavor profile.

From shop to brand

Bon Bon began as a candy store in Stockholm and expanded into packaged candy you will see around Sweden, built on the losgodis tradition.

Gustav grew up in Sweden on a strict Saturday-candy schedule, mixing his lördagsgodis bag at the lösgodis wall before he could spell salmiak. He has spent years tasting his way across Scandinavian candy, and now curates the range at TheSweetsTruck, from BUBS sour skulls to the saltiest licorice most people cannot finish.
