**Swedish candy refers to the pick-and-mix (lösgodis) tradition built around soft gummies, wine gums, foam sweets, and salty licorice (salmiak). It has a cult following abroad because of its texture variety, bold sour and salty flavors, and the build-your-own-bag format.**

## The pick-and-mix culture

In Sweden, lösgodis — loose candy sold by weight from open bins — is a weekend ritual. The category spans soft and firm gummies, foam (skum) sweets, wine gums, chocolate-covered pieces, and licorice in both sweet and salty styles, which is why a Swedish wall offers so much textural variety.

## Salty licorice (salmiak)

Salmiak, flavored with ammonium chloride, gives Nordic licorice its distinctive salty, slightly numbing bite. It is an acquired taste that travels surprisingly well as a novelty, and it anchors the Swedish and broader [licorice category](/product-category/licorice/).

## Stocking Swedish candy

A pick-and-mix wall or a curated bagged selection both work. Lead with crowd-pleasing sour gummies and wine gums, then add salty licorice and foam sweets for the enthusiasts. See the full range under [Swedish candy](/country/sweden/).
