Wholesale Russian Chocolate: Classic Confectionery Cases
Filter
We’ve got 45 Russian chocolates here. Slavyanka and Red October are the big names, with RotFront and Voronezh next to them and Takf making five. You’ll see filled pralines and dark chocolate fruit jellies. Ptichye Moloko squares are in there too. Cases are $40.77 to $64.91 and you don’t need a minimum to order.
A Confectionery Tradition Built on Dark Chocolate and Dried Fruit
Russian candy makers like dark chocolate, and they like putting dried fruit and nuts inside it. Halva turns up a lot as well. If you grew up on American milk chocolate bars, it tastes like something else entirely. The 45 SKUs come from Slavyanka and Red October, plus RotFront and Voronezh and Takf. Case prices sit between $40.77 and $64.91. We’d shelve it with other Eastern European or international foods. Dropped into the regular chocolate bay, it kind of gets lost. Honestly, the difference is half the fun of carrying it.
If your store already has Russian or Ukrainian customers, they probably know some of these names. Candy shops with an international corner can use them too. So can a reseller putting together heritage gifts, or a planner doing an Eastern European table. Most of the flavors run dark and fruity, and a few have liquor in the filling. Somebody already hunting for imported sweets will find them. A shopper grabbing a bar at the register probably won’t. The filled pralines and the dried-fruit chocolates come in packaging that already looks like a gift, so a small gift shelf beside your international foods is an easy home for them.
Filled Pralines and Fruit Jelly Lines
Good Advice is a dark chocolate fruit jelly. The center’s soft fruit and the shell is dark chocolate. It comes in Peach/Mango and Green Apple, and there’s a Forest Berries one. Get all three and you’ve filled a bin or an end cap from one place. All three use the same case pricing too. Monomah does two filled pralines. One is Monomah Gold Dark Chocolate with Liquor. The other’s Monomah Dark Chocolate Praline with Amber Orange Liquor, and both hide a liquor filling inside dark chocolate. You don’t see that much in American candy aisles. If you can’t decide which jelly to lead with, we’d pick Forest Berries, but that’s just us.
Need something with less sugar? The Sorbitol Dark Chocolate Praline is sweetened with sorbitol, and so is the Batonchik Chocolate Baton with Sorbitol. Put them beside the full-sugar pralines. People who ask for a lighter-sugar piece get one, and the classic filled chocolates stay put. Quite a few of the Russian lines here do this, a regular filled praline plus a sorbitol version in a similar shape. Handy, because you won’t go to another brand for it. We’d keep the sorbitol pieces on the same shelf as the rest, not off in a corner where nobody looks.
Dried Fruit, Halva, and a Soviet-Era Classic
Halva and dried fruit with chocolate is a very Eastern European thing. Mainstream American chocolate barely touches it. Golitsyn has two of these. There’s Golitsyn Halva in Dark Chocolate with Fructose, and the Golitsyn Dark Chocolate Souffle/Apricot with Fructose. Kuraga Petrovna Dark Chocolate Covered Apricot is a whole dried apricot dipped in dark chocolate. Chernsliv Mikhailovich Dark Chocolate Covered Plum and Almond does the same thing with a plum. No jelly in either. If your store has a dried fruit or nut aisle, try a few near it, since most US stores keep chocolate and dried fruit apart. We’d also set them next to the Good Advice jellies. Then one order goes from soft jelly centers all the way to whole dried fruit.
Ptiche Moloko is the Dark Chocolate Vanilla Squares. It means bird’s milk. In Russian candy it’s about as well known as a name gets, and people who want the real thing tend to ask for it by name. The name throws people a little the first time they hear it. We’d start a shelf or a gift bin with it.
Ordering Russian Chocolate by the Case
We wouldn’t make this your main chocolate aisle. It sits better as a smaller add-on beside your chocolate or international foods, because fruit and halva and liquor fillings are a taste some customers have and some don’t. Each of the 45 SKUs comes by the case. There’s no minimum here, and checkout is by card. Got an approved wholesale account? Then you’ll see account pricing. With five brands you can put forward whichever name your shoppers know. For some it’s Red October, which has the broad chocolate line. Others go looking for Golitsyn or Kuraga Petrovna and the dried fruit and halva pieces. A reseller doing heritage gifts or a planner with a themed table can mix any of it on one order. Bigger volumes get a quote from us.
