Wholesale Ukrainian Hard Candy from Roshen & Akkond
Three Ukrainian makers are behind these eight hard candies, Roshen and Akkond plus Kharkivyaka. A lot of them have cream in them. Strawberry-cream is one and coffee is another, and there’s mint plus a pear caramel too. A case runs roughly $25.61 to $35.12, and the line is aimed at specialty grocers and gift shops with an Eastern European shelf.
Ukrainian Hard Candy’s Cream and Fruit Traditions
A lot of Western European hard candy leans citrus. These Ukrainian ones lean on cream instead. You get strawberry with cream and coffee with cream, and then a plain mint and a citrus option sit next to them for people who want something familiar.
Roshen is one of the biggest and best-known confectioners in Ukraine, so a shopper picking up a bag sees a real company name on it, which we think counts for something on an import shelf. People who’ve never had Ukrainian hard candy usually expect an American fruit drop, and then they hit the strawberry-cream or the coffee-cream and figure out pretty quickly it’s its own thing. If you already stock our Ukrainian chocolate you’ll recognize the flavors. Cream and fruit show up there too. Coffee as well, only in pralines and truffles. We’d shelve the two lines side by side. A shopper who liked a Roshen chocolate has a decent reason to try the hard candy, and it works the other way around too.
Coffee, Cream, and Fruit-Filled Flavors
Strawberry-Cream Hard Candy and Coffee-Cream Hard Candy both build the flavor around a creamy center. Coffee-Like Hard Candy is the same coffee idea without the cream, so it’s a bit lighter. Then Klubnika so slivkami Strawberry Filled Hard Candy goes further than the plain strawberry-cream because it actually has a filled center. We’d call it the richest of the lot.
Mint Hard Candy and Citrus Mix Hard Candy are the ones nobody needs explained, since most hard candy shelves already carry mint and citrus. We’d put those two at eye level for shoppers who’ve never tried Ukrainian candy and let the cream flavors sit right beside them. A grocer next to a coffee shop or roastery could have fun with Coffee-Cream Hard Candy and Coffee-Like Hard Candy, two strengths of the same flavor on one shelf. Add Strawberry-Cream Hard Candy as a third and you’ve got a little coffee-and-cream corner, all of it from one supplier in one mixed case. Honestly we’d probably keep the mint closest to the register, since it’s the one a first-timer grabs without thinking.
Novelty Names, Familiar Flavors
Jammy Lazy Cow Hard Candy gets noticed for its name before anything else. The flavor is jammy and fruit-forward, and we think it’s a good one to drop in a bulk bin because people end up talking about it. Crunchy Caramel Dushes Pear Flav. is a pear caramel with a crunch to it. None of the cream or mint pieces have that pear-and-crunch thing going on, and we’d put the two of them in the same bin and let people pick.
We’d keep one or two odd ones like these in the mix even on a pretty standard shelf. A sampler bin by the register is a good spot for them, and from there a shopper might go looking for the cream flavors. They hold up fine in bulk too, so a vendor at a cultural festival or some other themed event could sell them loose and get a laugh out of the Lazy Cow name. If the Lazy Cow sells for you, the pear caramel is the one we’d try right next to it.
Case Pricing and Who Buys This Category
A case here costs roughly $25.61 to $35.12. That’s a fairly narrow spread for us, and it’s because all eight items are made in the same hard-candy format. Specialty grocers buy it. Ukrainian and Eastern European markets do too, and gift shops as well. Plenty of them already stock our Ukrainian chocolate next to it.
Everything here comes by the case, and you don’t have to meet a minimum to order. Approved wholesale accounts see their account pricing. When you ask for a quote just say which Roshen or Akkond or Kharkivyaka candies you’re after and roughly how many cases. If you’re picking up Ukrainian chocolate or Polish hard candy from us as well, put it all on one order so it ships together. Mixing brands on one order is normal here, and so is mixing flavors inside a brand.
