Swedish Gummy Candy: A Guide
Swedish gummy candy goes harder on sour and texture than the American kind. Here is a guide to the best Swedish gummies and where to start.
Swedish gummy candy ranges from soft fruit gums to intensely sour skulls and chewy wine gums. The standout is BUBS, whose sour skulls are vegan and far more sour than the American norm. Most Swedish gummies are sold loose as pick-and-mix, so you mix textures and sourness to taste.
What makes Swedish gummies different
More sour, chewier, and often vegan (no gelatin). The pick-and-mix culture means variety beats any single bag.
The ones to try
Start with BUBS sour skulls, add fruit gums and wine gums, and check our 15 best Swedish candies.
Build your own

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.
