Wholesale Argentine Hard Candy: Arcor Filled Bon Bons

Arcor: Argentina’s Candy Giant, Sold in Bulk

There’s only one brand on this page. It’s Arcor, with eight items. Every one of them is sold Bulk in an Assorted color mix, which means loose candy for scoop bins and self-serve stations. Bulk-vend accounts use it the same way. Nothing here comes in its own little retail bag. The cheapest case is $23.16 and the priciest is $33.33, so we don’t think price should decide much when you’re picking flavors for a first order.

Argentina has one of the largest candy manufacturing industries in South America, and these Arcor candies come out of the candy-counter habit people have there. You bite through a hard shell and hit a soft filled center. We like that more than a drop you just let melt, but that’s us. Almost every SKU in the group is built the same way, from the strawberry to the coffee, so somebody who scoops a few pieces of one flavor already knows how the next one is going to feel. Liked the honey one? There’s a decent chance they’ll grab the coffee next time. That’s how a bin turns into a habit for somebody, though it usually takes a few visits.

Filled Bon Bons in Strawberry

Strawberry BonBon is one of the two classic bon bons here, and Strawberry Filled Bon Bon is the other. Same fruit filling inside both. The packaging or format is a little different from one to the other. We’d keep both on your list. In a scoop bin nobody can tell which case the strawberry came out of, so if one is out of stock when you reorder you grab the other and the bin stays full. It also covers you if strawberry goes faster than you planned before the next order lands.

Vienna Fruit Filled Hard Candy

Vienna Fruit Filled Hard Candy has more than one fruit in it, which is the whole reason we’d carry it next to the strawberry. Put it in the same bin as the strawberry bon bons and you’ve got some mixed color going. Shoppers who don’t want strawberry get something else to scoop, and you didn’t have to buy a separate case for every fruit. Most bulk bins are priced as one category anyway. The flavor doesn’t change the price, so Vienna adds nothing extra for you to manage. We’d also lean on it when the single-flavor cases are running low and a restock is on the way, because it keeps the bin from looking half empty.

Honey, Coffee, Mint, and Butterscotch

Honey Filled Hard Candy is the one we’d try first from this side of the list. Coffee Filled Hard Candy has a coffee center, and it’s another filled piece with no fruit in it. Then there’s Chocolate Filled Mint Hard Candy, which puts mint and chocolate in the same piece. Butterscotch Hard Candy is the only one in the group with no filling at all. It’s just a plain butterscotch drop, the kind that used to sit in a dish on a grandparent’s side table. If you’d rather not juggle singles, the Arcor Assorted Fruit Filled Candy comes as one mixed case of several fruit flavors. Our hunch is the honey and coffee pieces go to an older shopper, somebody who drinks tea or coffee in the afternoon, while younger shoppers head for the fruit bon bons. One bin can hold both.

Ordering Wholesale Argentine Hard Candy

Each SKU goes out bulk, assorted-color. You don’t have a minimum to hit, and a single case is fine. Since the eight cases only range from $23.16 to $33.33, buying a few flavors at once doesn’t cost a lot more than buying one. We’d mix the strawberry with something like the butterscotch on a first go, mostly to see which side of the bin gets scooped.

If it were our shop, we’d start with:

• One of the strawberry bon bons, whichever SKU is in stock
• Something filled with no fruit, like the honey or the chocolate mint. Coffee works too
• The Arcor Assorted Fruit Filled Candy case, if one mixed SKU sounds easier than a handful of single flavors

Send us a quote request with the flavors and how many cases of each. If Argentine hard candy is going to stay in your bins, a wholesale account gets you account pricing. There are only eight SKUs here. A lot of shops could reasonably take most of them on the first order and then trim the list once they see which bins empty first. Our bet would be on the strawberry bon bons moving early, but your customers get the final say on that. The coffee one might surprise you.
