Wholesale Danish Sweets & Licorice: Bulk Imports

Denmark doesn’t make a huge amount of candy. What it makes is good. Salty licorice and chocolate-covered marzipan are the headline. Toffee and fruit gummies back them up. We list 63 products for Danish candy wholesale, by the case or bulk bag, from Danish and Scandinavian makers. Put them next to Swedish and Finnish stock. Or give Denmark a small corner of its own.

Danish candy brands we stock

We’d start with Anthon Berg, known across Europe for chocolate-covered marzipan. Its marzipan bites are small dark-chocolate-covered pieces that suit gift and specialty grocery buyers. Carletti makes the toffee. There’s Hemkola chocolate toffee and Hemkola original vanilla. Koppers does dark chocolate mint lentils in a giant standard size. Bright pink and bright purple colorwheel versions exist too. Aroma Konfektyrer brings a Swiss mint with a chocolate center (schweizerbonbon). ERTGodis and the Haribo/ERT line cover salty licorice pacifiers and fruit-wheel licorice. Then come the novelty gummies, rhubarb-lemon rolls and red Ferrari cars. Salty hard-licorice tire shapes round it out.

Danish candy types and flavors

Same Scandinavian roots as Swedish and Finnish candy, different emphasis. Here it’s marzipan chocolate and a few odd toffee formats.

• Anthon Berg marzipan bites are the Danish item North American import buyers know best. Each is a dark chocolate shell around marzipan. Gift shops and fine-food departments carry them. Our marzipan and nougat category has related items from other origins.
• For licorice, ERTGodis and Haribo/ERT bring salty pacifiers (salta nappar) and fruit-wheel assortments. Salt at different strengths is part of Scandinavian candy culture.
• Carletti Hemkola toffees come in chocolate and original vanilla. They’re dense and chewy. Not much like British or American toffee. They’d sit comfortably in a toffee-caramel section that already has Swedish or Finnish stock.
• Koppers mint lentils are a specialty chocolate. Aroma Konfektyrer’s Swiss mint is hard candy with a chocolate core. They sit fine beside our mints and chocolate pages.
• Rhubarb-lemon rolls and red Ferrari cars add color to a gummy bin. The salty hard-licorice tires do too.

Allergens first. Soy and milk turn up across the range. So do tree nuts and peanuts. Wheat and eggs appear too. The full detail sits on each product page. Heat is the other thing to watch. Marzipan chocolate and mint lentils don’t cope with it, so keep them away from the licorice and toffee. Plan summer reorders with that in mind.

Shipping and storing Danish candy

Heat is the issue with the marzipan chocolate and the mint lentils, so go easy in summer. Licorice and Carletti toffee are tougher. They store without fuss. Hold more of those and order chocolate in smaller batches. All of it ships inside the US. For larger volumes, ask for a quote through our contact page.

Who orders Danish candy

Open a Nordic section in an import grocery or a Scandinavian shop and Danish candy is usually in it. Fine-food stores put the Anthon Berg bites on premium displays and in holiday gift packs. A gift-basket company wants one recognizable European sweet, and this is it. Candy boutiques and pick-and-mix shops go for the novelty licorice. Gummies too. Fundraisers and cultural celebrations with a Scandinavian theme order the toffee and licorice.

Merchandising and reorders

Anthon Berg marzipan goes by the register and into the holiday gift program. It moves from late fall through the winter holidays. We’d run salty licorice and Carletti toffee all year, in bins or on the shelf for the Scandinavian regular. Koppers colorwheel lentils are bright, so spring and holiday displays suit them. Stock marzipan deep before gift season and reorder often through December. Licorice and toffee follow turnover and can go slower.

Retail and foodservice use

Danish candy does two jobs. It’s a premium gift in one place and steady grocery stock in another. Fine-food shelves and holiday gift programs take the Anthon Berg bites. Licorice and Carletti toffee go in pick-and-mix bins, and the Scandinavian aisle gets them as well. Gummies can ride in the same bins. Hotels and cafes could set out the marzipan chocolate with coffee. A few mint lentils on the saucer work too. Upscale restaurants might try petit-fours. One order can feed a grocery account and a hotel program. Marzipan goes to the gift shelf and the hotel. Licorice and toffee go to the grocery bins.

Premium marzipan and everyday licorice

Two price tiers share this section, and it sells better if you keep them apart. Anthon Berg marzipan is the premium one. Show it boxed and ready to give. Near the register works, and so does the gift display. Push it through the winter holidays. Everyday stock is the salty licorice and Carletti toffee. They go in bulk bins or on the Scandinavian shelf, priced easy. Mix the two tiers and both lose something. Koppers colorwheel lentils sit between them. Use them to brighten a premium display or a bulk wall, whichever fits your layout.

Ordering and formats

Danish candy here comes in bulk format. Unit weights run from about one and a quarter pounds to about two pounds. Case quantities are on each product page. Approved buyers get wholesale pricing from our wholesale account page. Prices are in USD and every order ships within the US. There’s no minimum order either. For a bigger Scandinavian program, our Swedish candy and Finnish candy hubs are the next stop. Stack Danish marzipan and salty licorice beside Swedish skull gummies and Finnish Fazer lines. That’s a proper Nordic shelf. One account covers reorders and gift planning across all three.
