SwedishCandy.io has added MARÄNG, The Swedest Thing, Swedish Candy World and Swedish Kändi to its comparison, with 337 new 1 lb bags to compare side by side.
Every one of the 337 new products added in this update is a 1 lb bag, so the prices below are for the same size. You can browse the full range on our Swedish candy products page, or start with the four new store pages linked in this article.
The four stores are different in useful ways. Two are based in Los Angeles, one ships within the US, and one ships from Sweden. Their starting prices for a 1 lb mix are far apart, and their free shipping thresholds differ too.
Four new stores at a glance
| Store | Ships from | 1 lb mix price from | Shipping | Free shipping |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MARÄNG | Los Angeles, US | $24.99 | Economy shipping | $40+ |
| The Swedest Thing | Los Angeles, US | $34.99 | US shipping | $35+ (free gift at $50+) |
| Swedish Kändi | Ships within the US | $19.95 | Handling 2 to 5 days, delivery 3 to 7 days | $60+ |
| Swedish Candy World | Sweden | $14.99 | Shipping from Sweden, duties included | $80+ |
MARÄNG: a Los Angeles pick and mix store
MARÄNG is based in Los Angeles and adds eight products. Its mixes are priced at $24.99, with the Pick & Mix Bag at $30.24. Orders of $40 or more qualify for free Economy shipping, while other orders are calculated at checkout. Two 1 lb mixes easily reach that threshold, which makes MARÄNG the middle option here: not the cheapest bag, and not the most expensive.
The store is built around pick and mix. Its signature MARÄNG Mix, described as the store bestseller, combines sweet, sour and foam Swedish candies in a 1 lb bag for $24.99. If you lean toward one style, the Sweet Mix and Sour Mix are also $24.99. For BUBS fans, the MARÄNG BUBS Mix is also $24.99 for 1 lb.
The Swedest Thing: 1 lb bags at a fixed price
The Swedest Thing is also based in Los Angeles, and it adds 41 products, all 1 lb bags at $34.99. Shipping is free at $35 or more, and orders of $50 or more also receive a free gift. The range is simple to understand, because the 1 lb price is the same across it.
Two good entry points are the Swedish Candy Classic Mix at $34.99 and the Swedish Candy Bubs Mix at $34.99. The first is a classic all round mix, while the second is built around BUBS. Both are 1 lb bags, so the choice is about flavor and texture, not size.
The Swedest Thing suits shoppers who value simplicity and a US based store, and who are happy to pay more per bag for a consistent price. One detail worth noting: a single $34.99 bag sits just below the $35 free shipping threshold, so check your total before checkout.
Swedish Candy World: the lowest starting price, shipped from Sweden
Swedish Candy World adds 208 products, with 1 lb mixes from $14.99. It ships from Sweden, with duties included, and delivery to the US takes about 4 to 7 business days. Shipping is $9.99 for orders under $80, and free at $80 or more, a higher threshold than the two Los Angeles stores.
The range includes familiar names at prices that stand out in this update. Gott & Blandat Giants is $14.99 for 1 lb, compared with $28.99, and S-Märke Fruit Mix is $15.99 for 1 lb, compared with $28.99. For single flavors, Swedish Fish is $13.99 for 1 lb, and Bubs Dizzy Skull, a BUBS foam skull candy with bubblegum flavor, is $23.99 for 1 lb.
Swedish Candy World suits shoppers who are planning ahead or stocking up to reach the $80 free shipping threshold. If you need candy quickly, the longer delivery time from Sweden is the trade off to weigh against the lower bag price.
Swedish Kändi: a flat $19.95 per bag
Swedish Kändi adds 80 products, and the pricing could not be simpler: every 1 lb bag costs $19.95. That puts Kändi second cheapest in this update, between Swedish Candy World and MARÄNG. Shipping is free on orders over $60, handling takes 2 to 5 days, and delivery within the US takes 3 to 7 days.
Start with the two mixes: the Sweet Mix Bag and the Sour Mix Bag, both $19.95 for 1 lb. Kändi lists no compare-at prices on these bags, so $19.95 is simply the price, not a discount.
Why the same kind of mix can cost $14.99, $19.95, $24.99 or $34.99
This is the part of the update that shows why comparing matters. The same kind of 1 lb mix now costs $14.99 at Swedish Candy World, $19.95 at Swedish Kändi, $24.99 at MARÄNG and $34.99 at The Swedest Thing, a $20 gap between the lowest and highest starting prices before shipping.
| Store | Mix | 1 lb price |
|---|---|---|
| MARÄNG | Sweet Mix | $24.99 |
| MARÄNG | Sour Mix | $24.99 |
| The Swedest Thing | Sweet Mix | $34.99 |
| The Swedest Thing | Sour Mix | $34.99 |
| Swedish Kändi | Sweet Mix | $19.95 |
| Swedish Kändi | Sour Mix | $19.95 |
| Swedish Candy World | Gott & Blandat Giants | $14.99 |
| Swedish Candy World | Gott & Blandat Sour Giants | $14.99 |
Price alone does not settle the choice. The cheapest store ships from Sweden, so delivery takes longer, while the US stores are faster but cost more. Compare the total for the order you plan to place, including shipping, rather than the bag price on its own.
For a single bag, Swedish Kändi and MARÄNG sit in the middle on price. For a larger order, Swedish Candy World is harder to beat once the $80 threshold is reached. The right store depends on how much you are buying, how soon you need it, and whether you prefer sweet, sour, foam or a classic mix.
How we list stores
