Liquorice Gifts

There’s nothing else that compares to liquorice, which is why people don’t just like it – they love it! The sweet and aromatic flavour is truly unique and versatile, too. Whether it’s for a hit of childhood nostalgia, or simply a delicious companion on a long journey, you can count on a liquorice treat to deliver. Within our stellar range, you’ll find a wide range of diet-friendly sweets, so  if you're buying liquorice as a gift, there’s an option for everyone! You’ll find so many great choices at Wholesale Sweets that you can buy liquorice that’s perfect for any occasion.

Types of Liquorice Sweets

Here at Wholesale Sweets, we have classic liquorice treats alongside fruity flavours, gift boxes and pick and mix favourites – all at brilliant wholesale value. So, no matter the liquorice you love, we have options that will make your mouth water! There are fantastic liquorice choices for all tastes, whether they’re new or old, with favourites from top brands such as Bassetts and Walker’s Nonsuch!

For the purest hit of liquorice, we have options such as Pontefract Cakes, which won’t let any other flavours get in the way. Originating in the Yorkshire town of the same name, these are one of the first examples of liquorice being used in confectionery and are often stamped with an image of Pontefract Castle.

Liquorice Wheels & Sticks

Wheels and sticks are classic liquorice candy. Much like liquorice whips, the Bonds Liquorice Sticks provide no distractions from the main event. The same goes for Liquorice Wheels, which are a fantastic way to unwind and enjoy a sweet treat. We also have Kingsway’s Fizzy Red Liquorice Rolls, which are a delightfully fruity option with an added sour kick. They may be less traditional, but they’re as tasty as any other liquorice snack!

The Barratt Black Jack Chews are a sweetshop staple and are likely the way many people first experienced the unique taste of liquorice. This bulk box is filled with enough individually wrapped chews to last even the most avid fan for a very long time.

A fruity option with a twist, Maxilin’s Giant Blackcurrant Flyers pair the signature liquorice flavour with a delicious blackcurrant crystal centre. But they haven’t stopped there! You can also find sherbet-filled and strawberry-flavoured Flyers, so there are options for any taste and occasion.

Liquorice Allsorts & Dolly Mix

For many people, when they think of liquorice the first thing that will come to mind is Bertie Bassett and his Liquorice Allsorts! It makes sense, because they’re an iconic assortment, pairing the liquorice and aniseed flavours with sumptuously sweet and coconutty counterparts. Did you know that they were created by accident? A salesman was showing a customer a selection of different treats when he tripped, and all of the samples got mixed together. Needless to say that the customer loved the spontaneous bundle of sweets and they have been a firm favourite ever since!

And we can’t mention Liquorice Allsorts without mentioning Dolly Mixture, can we?! Dolly Mix is another retro liquorice sweet that has been a fixture of sweetshops for decades. There are numerous versions of the iconic collection nowadays, but they’re all just as delicious as the original.

Liquorice Toffees & Boiled Sweets

Everyone enjoys their sweets in a different way. Some like to bite into a treat, whilst others want the flavour to last as long as possible. This is where the beauty of boiled sweets shines through – and we have some tastebud-tickling liquorice picks that any fan is bound to adore!

From Stockley’s Liquorice Rock to the Royale Blackcurrant & Liquorice, you can get a long-lasting liquorice hit in a variety of flavours. One of the most popular pairings comes from Walker’s Nonsuch. Yep, you guessed it, their Liquorice Toffees! In this time-tested combination, the sweetness of the toffee compliments the liquorice superbly, delivering an indulgent treat each and every time.

Other Kinds of Liquorice Sweets

It may not be to everyone’s liking, but liquorice is still very popular – why else would it have been around for so long?! It’s no surprise, then, that there are so many unique treats that make the most of it! The Taveners Liquorice Comfits are a mouthful of sugar-coated liquorice goodness. With such bright colours, you’ll often see the jar of them as soon as you walk into a sweetshop!

Despite dividing opinion, the versatility of the liquorice flavour is partly why it has been common for so long! The Royale Blackcurrant & Liquorice Humbugs are a great example of this. Not only do they have the blackcurrant and liquorice flavour pairing in the hard-boiled outer layer, but there is a soft centre of creamy toffee. The diversity of the flavours paired with liquorice goes to show just how versatile it is!

The MakuLaku range is eye-catchingly colourful and either twists or wraps other flavours into their liquorice treats. whilst the Ravazzi Black Gummy Hearts aren’t a typical liquorice sweet, with their foamy and gummy textures they’re a more modern use of the liquorice flavour.

Diet-friendly Liquorice Sweets

Many of our wholesale liquorice range is suitable for people with a range of dietary requirements. There are gluten and dairy-free options, whilst there are plenty of vegetarian and gelatine free choices, too. We also have vegan sweets, with the classic Taveners Pontefract Cakes being a standout pick. The Bonds Sugar Free Blackcurrant & Liquorice Jar is also a great way to avoid sugar but not that distinctive liquorice taste!

Here at Wholesale Sweets, we have exciting options for any liquorice lover! But, we have so much more besides – in our pick n mix range, you’ll discover all of your favourites, ranging from chewy sweets to chocolate. No matter what you’re looking for, we’ve got you covered. With our wide range of liquorice sweets, UK delivery and brilliant wholesale value, you needn’t look anywhere else.
