Wholesale American Dried Fruit & Fruit Candy Cases
We’ve got 9 dried fruit and fruit candy SKUs, all American. None of it is imported. Sconza and Albanese make most of them, and GoLightly and Next are on the page as well. Prices go from $10.83 for the cheapest case up to $53.93. You’ll see chocolate-covered dried cherries and cranberries here. There’s crystallized ginger in slices too, plus a Sugar Free Assorted Fruit Hard Candy.
American Dried Fruit and Fruit Candy, Sourced Domestically
Most of our country pages are imports with some heritage behind them. Not this one. It’s dried fruit and fruit candy from American candy companies that have been around a while. The price spread is huge, $10.83 to $53.93 a case, because small bags share the page with big tubs of chocolate-covered fruit.
So you can grab a cheap bag to see if the category sells, and in the same order get a pricier chocolate-fruit tub for the gift shelf. One supplier covers both, and you get to see which end of the price range your customers actually go for. If most of your candy section is imported, a few American items help balance it out. We’d also point first-time wholesale buyers here, since there’s no foreign tradition to explain to anybody. A dried cherry needs no introduction, and neither does a cranberry or a slice of ginger. Familiar stuff usually gets going on a shelf sooner than a candy nobody’s seen before.
Sconza’s Chocolate-Covered Fruit
Sconza does the chocolate-covered side. Dark Chocolate Dried Cherries and Dark Chocolate Dried Cranberries are both here, and Milk Chocolate Dried Cranberries gives you the milk version of that same cranberry. Tart Cherries In Milk and White Chocolate is the one with two chocolates on it, and it’s the one we’d tuck into a gift box. There’s also Organic Dark Chocolate Coated Ginger, which takes the ginger idea and dips it. That’s cherry and cranberry plus ginger, all under one brand’s chocolate. We like the dark-and-milk cranberry pair best, because you please both chocolate camps and you’re still only carrying one fruit.
Why Chocolate-Covered Dried Fruit Sells Year-Round
Where should chocolate-covered dried fruit go? Pretty much anywhere. It can be a candy aisle item or a snack aisle item, and on a gift table it looks like something you’d bring to somebody’s house. Bulk bins handle it fine, because the coating and the dried fruit keep far better than fresh fruit or a soft-centered candy would. We’d call it a safe thing to trial in a new store. Regional gift boxes work too. Room temperature is all it asks for, which makes shipping a gift box a lot less fussy than it’d be with softer candy.
Crystallized Ginger, Fruit Slices, and the Sugar Free Option
Ginger Slices Crystallized Bag and Ginger Slices Crystallized Tub are plain crystallized ginger with no chocolate. The bag is small and turns over on a shelf. Grab the tub for a bulk bin, or if you run foodservice. Then there’s Fruit Slices Mini assorted, a little mixed-flavor pack that sits nicely in a variety bin beside the ginger and the chocolate fruit. Ginger buyers are often a bit different from fruit candy buyers. A lot of them just want something less sweet. The tub is what we’d reach for if a bakery or café wants ginger for its own kitchen.
GoLightly’s Sugar Free Option
GoLightly’s Sugar Free Assorted Fruit Hard Candy doesn’t really match the rest. It’s an ordinary hard candy, with no dried fruit and no chocolate. Still, if people keep asking you for sugar-free, here it is. You didn’t have to set up another vendor to get it either. It’ll sit happily with your other hard candies, honestly better there than with the rest of this page.
Ordering Wholesale American Dried Fruit & Fruit Candy
Every one of the nine is sold by the case. No minimum, so even one case is fine. Cases go from about $11 to $54, so think about what you’re after first. Maybe that’s a cheap entry item. Maybe it’s a premium chocolate-fruit tub, or some of both. Our two cents is that a mix makes a first order easier to read.
If it were our shelf, we’d start with these:
- A Sconza chocolate-covered fruit, say Dark Chocolate Dried Cherries or Cranberries, for the premium spot
- Crystallized ginger in the bag or the tub, for something lighter and less sweet
- GoLightly Sugar Free Assorted Fruit Hard Candy for shoppers who want sugar-free

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this dried fruit candy imported or domestic?
They’re American. Sconza and Albanese make them along with GoLightly and Next. Nothing on the page is imported. We grouped it as dried fruit and fruit candy instead of by country.
What’s the difference between the Ginger Slices bag and tub?
Same crystallized ginger slices in both. The bag’s smaller and moves faster on a shelf. The tub holds a lot more, which suits bulk bins or a foodservice kitchen if you’ve got one buying from you. Pick the bag if shelf space is tight.
Is the Sugar Free Assorted Fruit Hard Candy the only sugar-free item?
Just one item, and GoLightly is the brand to remember for it. GoLightly Sugar Free Assorted Fruit Hard Candy is labeled sugar-free. Everything else here is regular candy, the chocolate fruit and the ginger included. For exact label details, each product page is the place to look.
How do I place a wholesale order for this category?
No minimum on anything here, and it’s all sold by the case. Ordering just one case to start is completely fine. For a one-off, send a quote request. If you’ll be reordering dried fruit and fruit candy, a wholesale account gives you account pricing.
