The Best Purple Sweets to Buy Online

Giant Parma Violets

Parma Violets are one of those sweets that polarise people. You either love the floral, slightly perfumed flavour or you absolutely don’t, and both camps have strong opinions about it. The giant version takes the classic small tablet format and scales it up significantly. Giant Parma Violets rolls are available individually, and the full box is the one to go for if you’re a committed fan or buying for an event. Made by Swizzels, they’ve been around since the 1950s and show no signs of going anywhere.

Blackcurrant liquorice

Blackcurrant and liquorice is one of those combinations that sounds odd until you try it. The sharpness of blackcurrant cuts through the earthiness of liquorice in a way that works remarkably well. Blackcurrant liquorice is available in the standard version, and there’s also a sugar-free blackcurrant liquorice for anyone managing their sugar intake. Both are good. The sugar-free version is particularly impressive given that liquorice can be tricky to replicate without sugar.

Why purple?

Purple sweets tend to fall into a few distinct flavour camps: floral (Parma Violets, lavender), blackcurrant, blueberry and grape. The colour acts as a reliable shorthand for bold flavour, which is probably why purple picks so consistently get chosen first from a pick n mix selection. If you’re putting together a colour-themed sweet display or just want to build a bag of the best-tasting options, the purple category delivers.

Purple Sweets for Events and Displays

Colour-themed sweet tables

Purple sweets are a popular choice for sweet tables at weddings, baby showers and birthday parties where the colour scheme calls for it. Parma Violets work particularly well here because the colour is consistent and distinctive. A jar of Giant Parma Violets alongside some blackcurrant liquorice makes for a cohesive display that also tastes good. If you’re building a full colour-themed spread, the pink sweets and blue sweets categories are worth browsing alongside this one.

Buying in bulk

The full box of Giant Parma Violets is the most cost-effective way to buy if you need volume. All products start at £1, and free UK delivery applies to orders over £20. For larger sweet table orders, the full cases of sweets section has bulk options worth checking.

Frequently Asked Questions

What flavour are Parma Violets?

Parma Violets are flavoured with violet, giving them a distinctive floral taste. It’s described variously as perfumed, soapy (by those who don’t love them) or uniquely fragrant (by those who do). The flavour is unlike anything else in the British sweet range.

Are Giant Parma Violets bigger than the original?

Yes. Giant Parma Violets are substantially larger than the classic small tablet version. The flavour is the same, the format is just scaled up. They’re made by Swizzels.

Is there a sugar-free version of blackcurrant liquorice?

Yes. One Pound Sweets stocks both the standard blackcurrant liquorice and a sugar-free version, making it a good option for anyone managing their sugar intake.
