Greece Bars Candy Wholesale & Bulk

Greek sweets lean on sesame and nuts and honey, which makes a change from the chocolate-heavy imports that fill most specialty aisles. Jannis puts that into bars you can wholesale. You’ll find sesame crunch and almond crunch. Mixed nut crunch is there, and an organic bar. Soft nougat comes in several flavors. Handy if you want a European candy section that doesn’t look like everyone else’s, and honestly it’s the sesame that does that.

If you only take one Jannis thing, take the sesame crunch. The plain Jannis Sesame Crunch Bars come in 40g and 70g, and we’d put the 40g by the till and the 70g with the snacks where people want something more filling. The Jannis Sesame and Dark Chocolate Crunch Bar is a small 30g one with bittersweet chocolate over roasted sesame. It looks great in a photo, if your shop posts on social. For a natural food store the one to get is the Jannis Organic Sesame Crunch Bar Bio at 40g, which carries the organic label.

Jannis also bags up small Sesame Crunch Bars in 150g, and the Mini Almond Crunch Bars come the same way. So do the Mini Mixed Nut Crunch Bars. We like these in a gift basket or on a candy buffet, or just hanging in the snack section of a grocery. A shopper gets to taste a few without buying three full bars, and somebody who’d always go sesame might end up liking the almond.

The Jannis Sesame and Honey Soft Bar at 30g is worth a mention. Greek cooking has paired honey with sesame for centuries, and this puts the pairing in a modern wrapper. Stores that sell artisan or traditional food will want it. It’s a natural for a shop that talks about where its food comes from.

Soft nougat is a whole separate texture. There’s the Jannis Almond Soft Nougat Bar at 50g. The 60g ones come in Cranberry and Almond. Strawberry and Almond is another, and so is Caramel and Hazelnut. Texture-wise they’re soft and chewy, a long way from the crunchy sesame bars or typical European chocolate. If you grew up on Italian or French nougat these feel familiar, yet the Greek origin and unusual pairings keep them from blending in on a shelf.

If you’re adding single bars to a broader European range from our bulk candy list, Jannis sits fine beside sesame items from elsewhere. A shelf card can explain the whole thing in a line, since the bars are sesame and almonds and honey, with real fruit in the nougat ones. It doesn’t need dressing up.

Make the sesame and nut side obvious, because that’s what the whole range is about. Hang a sign saying ‘Greek Artisan Bars’ or ‘Mediterranean Sesame & Nut Bars’ and people looking for that taste know where to head, while browsers see something a bit special. Stores with a natural or organic section should give the Bio bar a spot over there.

At events and catered functions the 150g mini bags suit a candy station, where guests pick at small mixed bites. Set a tray with sesame and almond and mixed nut side by side and it looks good with next to no prep from staff. Caterers and event candy companies get a Mediterranean touch at a reasonable cost per serving.

Basket makers reach for Jannis when a collection needs a Greek accent. Wrappers are clean and sizes vary, so each basket tier gets a fitting bar. A small 30g sesame crunch bar fits a mixed Mediterranean snack basket, while the 70g makes more sense as a premium gift by itself. Having both come from one supplier cuts down on ordering. The clean look of the wrappers helps in a basket too.

Neither the sesame crunch bars nor the nougat ones need a fridge, since both are shelf-stable. They do fine in normal candy aisle conditions and handle shipping without special care. Cases run 0.66 to 1.23 lb per unit, on the lighter side, so mixing across the Jannis range in one order is simple. The lighter weights mean a mixed case isn’t a heavy one.

There’s no minimum order. Approved accounts get account pricing, and we ship across the United States. Greek-American communities in cities like New York and Chicago may already know Jannis. Shoppers curious about Mediterranean food could be drawn in as well.

First time with Jannis? We’d start with the 150g mini bags in all three kinds, sesame and almond and mixed nut. If there’s a natural food section in your store, the organic sesame bar makes a fourth. That’s a full mini display with very little stock on hand, and you’ll see which flavor people come back for before going deeper into crunch bars and soft nougat. Soft nougat can wait for the second order, in caramel-hazelnut or strawberry-almond or cranberry-almond. Crunch-bar fans tend to get curious about something softer.
