Wholesale American Chocolate Covered Sweets for Retailers

Chocolate covered candy sells steadily, and we’d say this American-made group plays it safe with shapes people already know in real cocoa coatings. There are 153 SKUs in it. Some are chocolate-dipped gummies and some are enrobed nuts or filled tubs. All of it is sized for resale more than for a single snack.

What Chocolate Covered Sweets Actually Means Here

Each piece has chocolate on the outside and a different center inside, fruit in some and nuts or caramel or coffee in others. Milk Chocolate Gummy Bears and Dark Chocolate Gummy Bears come in 2/6/4oz packs. Sea Salt Caramels are packed 12/4oz. Strawberry Dusted Dark Chocolate Hazelnuts and Raspberry Dusted Dark Chocolate Almonds are the dusted pair, and we’d set those two side by side. Coffee people get New York Espresso Beans at 4/6/2oz and the Dark Chocolate Coffee Bean Cherry-Flavored 8oz Tub. Since bagged multipacks sit next to single tubs and bulk-style tubs, one order can stock a few different shelf sets.

Formats That Fit Different Retail Setups

A grab-and-go candy shop and a gift basket business don’t buy the same way, and there’s stuff for each here. The gummy bear line comes in multipacks that go straight onto a shelf. Dark Chocolate & Coconut Almond Tub suits a scoop bin or a gift basket. So do Sea Salt Caramel Cashews and the Dark Chocolate Caramel Tub, and you can repack any of them under your own label. Holiday Snow Caps Dark Chocolate Nonpareils 10oz is the seasonal one we’d mention. It keeps on a shelf and sells through the holidays, and you can just add it to your regular order.

Reading the Case Configurations

Pack sizes are usually right there in the product name. Take ‘2/6/4oz’, which means two units of six 4-ounce packs. We’d use that to work out your per-unit cost and how much shelf it’ll take before you even ask us for a quote.

Who Buys Chocolate Covered Sweets Wholesale

Chocolate covered candy fits in so many kinds of stores that the buyers here are all over the map.

• Candy shops and specialty food stores keeping chocolate bins and seasonal end caps full
• Gift basket and corporate gift businesses repacking from tubs such as the Dark Chocolate Caramel Tub
• Movie theaters and other concession stands wanting add-ons that keep on a shelf
• Convenience stores and independent grocers with impulse racks near the register

Every one of them buys by the case. Since the formats go from small multipack bags up to 8oz and 10oz tubs, one order can stock a couple of different spots in the same store.

Pricing and How Ordering Works

A case costs anywhere from $14.16 to $67.08, and most of that gap is a light multipack case versus a heavy tub case. If you’re testing the category we’d start cheap, maybe with Sea Salt Caramels. Once you know what sells, bring in something pricier like the Dark Choc Cherry Coffee Bean Bag.

You can order online with secure card checkout, and approved wholesale accounts see their own pricing there. For bigger volumes send us a quote request. You don’t have to hit a minimum. A case of 4oz bags and a case of 8oz tubs are pretty different things to plan around, so we work out the quantities with you on the quote.

Heat is the thing to watch with any chocolate covered candy, the gummy ones as much as the nut and caramel tubs. We’d keep spare cases of the Dark Chocolate Caramel Tub or the Dark Choc Cherry Coffee Bean Bag in a cool and dry back room away from sun and heat vents until the shelf needs them. If it gets warm the chocolate can bloom, and you’ll see it on the surface even though the candy inside is fine.

Building a First Order in This Category

For a first order we’d mix a couple of anchors, say a gummy bear multipack and a caramel tub, with one or two of the dusted almonds or hazelnuts. That’s enough to see which format your customers reach for before you buy deep on any single SKU. There are 153 listings in the category, so when a shelf set works you can keep adding to it from the same place. Reorders stay simple that way. People have liked chocolate coatings on a shelf for a long time. The list here already has fruit and nut centers along with caramel and coffee. Every format from the multipack bag to the bulk tub is packed to be resold by the case.
