Bulk Toffee & Caramel Wholesale

Caramel’s about as old-school as candy gets, and people keep buying it. Kids want the soft chewy ones. Adults go for a good toffee, and plenty of older customers just grab whatever they remember from years back. That’s a lot of different shoppers on one shelf. Our bulk toffee and caramel wholesale section has 37 SKUs from Sweden and the USA. Italy and Greece are in there, plus Denmark and Ukraine. Cases weigh 1.25 to 2.2 lb. If you’d like something next to it on the shelf, there’s the full bulk candy catalog.

Kolafabrikens is the name you’ll see most. It’s Swedish, and the flavors go all over the place. There’s Lemon and Wild Strawberry. Chocolate and Mint Chocolate too. Then Strawberry and Banana, plus Raspberry. Everything’s Sweden Bulk. If you don’t know the brand, start with the Firm Caramels Mix, because it shows shoppers the plain Scandinavian caramel taste before they try the fruity ones. Cases run 1.25 to 2.2 lb. There’s no minimum, so three or four flavors on a first order is easy. Reorder whatever moves. It’s a good brand to test on. The flavors don’t clash, and a jar of mixed ones looks like an old sweet shop. Banana’s the odd one, and odd ones get picked up.

Bako Fudgekola Extra Soft Caramels from Sweden are the soft ones, closer to fudge. Beside the firm Kolafabrikens pieces in a pick-and-mix jar they keep people at the counter longer, because the two chew so differently. They read as handmade even out of a bulk case (odd, but true), so a slightly higher price holds up. A clear jar showing both says it without a sign.

Bravokola Swedish Mini Square Caramels are tiny. That suits a hotel tray or a vending machine, or any small counter where a full caramel would look huge. A host can hand one to each guest without cutting anything, which saves a bit of fuss at the prep table. They stack well in a bowl too, which is half the job on a hotel counter. Cutest thing in the Swedish range, if you ask us.

Denmark sends two odd ones. Toms Minto Peppermint Toffee is toffee with mint, strange enough to catch an eye at a pick-and-mix stand but not so strange that anybody’s confused. Toms is a Danish brand that Scandinavian candy fans already know. A deli or chocolate shop wanting something between a hard mint and a caramel will like it. Carletti Hemkola Toffee Original Vanilla is plain butter and vanilla, an easy filler for gift baskets. Carletti has a Chocolate Toffee as well. The Minto’s the odd duck of the pair and Carletti’s the easy one, so between them they cover both moods.

Malaco Kick Toffee Candy is Swedish toffee in a candy coating, and that coating is why it doesn’t clump in a bin. It keeps its shape through days of sitting open. We’d picture it at a c-store counter first, then a self-serve candy bar, then a stadium stand. Malaco’s been at this in Sweden for decades.

Peanut Butter Caramel Corn is the salty-sweet one, and a movie lobby or a ballpark snack counter is where we’d picture it. Put it beside plain caramel corn as an extra. Milk Chocolate Caramel Bites and Milk Chocolate Caramel Corn are for people who like chocolate and caramel together, and import grocers and gift basket makers sell to that crowd regularly. That’s three American items. A snack shelf with just plain popcorn could use one of these.

The fancy one on the list comes from Switzerland, Swiss Made Caramel Truffles. A pillow tray at a hotel would suit it, or a single truffle next to dessert in a fine-dining kitchen. Slip one into a gift basket with a few Swedish caramels and the basket has two price levels, and since people trust Swiss chocolate the higher price goes down easily. We’d put it at the front, gold wrapper in the light.

Then there’s Pallas and Serra, plus Ragolds and Carletti. Serra and Pallas lean Southern European, which usually means softer and a bit fruitier. Ragolds adds a hard candy for anyone who wants another texture. With several brands behind the toffee, one supplier running out won’t empty your whole shelf. It also gives you a swap when a favorite sells through. Different brand, similar chew.

A toffee display by the register nearly sells itself. We’d say that holds most at a deli or an import grocer, since the pieces are cheap and nice to look at and somebody always grabs one on the way out. Basket makers get brown and gold, which gummies and hard candy can’t give them. A restaurant can put the wrapped Carletti Hemkola toffees out in place of a mint. A c-store has the two caramel corns for the snack shelf. The origins are Sweden and Denmark, with Switzerland and the USA too, so one order covers a lot of ground. Gold and brown wrappers look warm on a counter in winter too.

If you’d rather go one country at a time, Sweden toffee and caramel is the place. Brown toffee and caramel shows the same range sorted by color. There’s no minimum and cases go to US addresses. Approved wholesale accounts get account pricing. A case of 1.25 to 2.2 lb lets you test a flavor without much risk. Order the Swedish and Danish pieces early, since they run tight in busy seasons.
