Blue sweets are one of the most searched colour categories in the UK, and it is easy to see why. Whether you are putting together a sweet table for a wedding, organising party bags for a baby shower or building a colour-sorted pick n mix selection, blue sweets look brilliant in a clear jar and the blue raspberry flavour that most of them carry is genuinely one of the best in the sweet world.
The range at One Pound Sweets covers plenty of formats. Blue raspberry bonbons are a classic pick n mix staple with a chewy, sugary coating and an intensely fruity centre. Bubblegum Millions are the small tube sweet in a vivid blue, perfect for filling a jar. Blue and white dolphins are a foam sweet that looks great in a colour-sorted bowl. And if you want everything sorted for you, the 1kg blue pick n mix selection does exactly that: a full kilogram of blue sweets ready to go. For a full breakdown of the range, check out our guide to the best blue sweets to buy online in the UK.
Blue is one of the most requested colours when it comes to pick n mix, party bags and sweet tables, and the reason is straightforward: blue sweets look brilliant in a clear jar, they are almost always blue raspberry or bubblegum flavoured which are two of the best flavours in the sweet world, and the colour is vivid and consistent enough to build a whole colour-themed event around.
This is the full guide to the best blue sweets you can buy online in the UK right now, what each one tastes like, and which ones work best for different uses.
Blue raspberry bonbons
Blue raspberry bonbons are the classic. A soft, chewy centre coated in a fine sugary shell that gives a slight crunch before you get into the chew. The blue raspberry flavour is sharp and fruity, noticeably more intense than a regular raspberry sweet. Bonbons are one of the most reliable pick n mix staples because they look great, portion easily and have been a sweet shop favourite for decades.
They are a solid starting point for any blue sweet jar or party bag setup. The colour is a consistent, vivid blue that holds up well even after sitting in a bowl for a few hours.
Bubblegum Millions
Bubblegum Millions are tiny, intensely flavoured little balls that come in a vivid blue colour. The bubblegum flavour is stronger than most bubblegum sweets, which tends to split people cleanly into those who love it and those who find it too much. The people who love it really love it.
For sweet jars and pick n mix setups, Millions are one of the best options because the small size means you fill a jar quickly, the colour is consistent, and a jar of blue Millions looks genuinely impressive on a table. The tube format is practical for party bags where you want a self-contained item rather than loose sweets.
Blue and white dolphins
Blue and white dolphins are a foam sweet in the classic dolphin shape, half blue and half white. The texture is light and marshmallowy, completely different to a jelly or a bonbon, which makes them a great addition to a mixed blue sweet selection where you want some variety. The flavour is mild and slightly sweet rather than intensely fruity, which makes them popular with younger kids and anyone who finds blue raspberry a bit sharp.
If you want a bigger bulk format, the Candycrave Baby Dolphins tub is 600g of the same style sweet, which is the right size for a large sweet table or a catering setup.
Sweetzone blue raspberry slices
Sweetzone blue raspberry slices come in a 1kg bag, which makes them one of the best value bulk blue sweet options available. The slice format is a classic British pick n mix shape: flat, chewy, intensely fruity and the kind of thing people consistently reach for at a sweet table. A kilo goes a long way in a bowl or jar.
Sweetzone sour blue raspberry rings
Sour blue raspberry rings are the option for anyone who wants a bit more edge to their blue sweets. The same blue raspberry flavour but with a sour coating that gives a sharp hit before settling into the fruit underneath. At 1kg they are good value for events and work brilliantly alongside the regular slices if you want a mixed bowl with both sweet and sour options.
Fizzy blue tongue painter dummies
Fizzy blue tongue painter dummies are exactly what they sound like: lolly-shaped sweets with a fizzy blue coating that stains your tongue blue. They are popular with kids for obvious reasons and are a reliable party bag item because the novelty factor is high and they are individually manageable in size. The fizzy coating gives a sharp first hit before the sweet underneath takes over.
Candycrave fizzy blue skulls tub
The Candycrave fizzy blue skulls tub is a 600g tub of blue skull-shaped fizzy sweets. The skull shape makes them a good choice for Halloween setups or anyone who wants something a bit more distinctive than standard jelly sweets in their blue selection. The fizzy coating gives them a similar profile to the sour rings but in a more eye-catching format.
The easiest option: 1kg blue pick n mix
If you want a proper blue sweet selection without doing the sorting yourself, the 1kg blue pick n mix selection is the simplest route. A full kilogram of blue sweets already chosen and mixed, ready to go into a jar, a bowl or a party bag setup. It covers a range of textures and flavours so you are not stuck with just one type.
