If we get the summer we had a few years ago, it’s going to be an absolute cracker. So what can you do to maximise on the good weather? You could stock sweets in your sweet shop that are quintessentially summer sweets, for a start.
If you have a sweet shop and you’re looking for an online wholesale sweet supplier, we have so many sweets for you to choose from here Appleton Sweets. However if you’re just a dedicated consumer, head on over to our sister site, Bulk Wholesale Sweets where you’ll find an equally extensive range of delicious summer sweets, but without the minimum order requirement.
Summer Flavours
Did you know that the weather actually affects the types of food that we crave? When it’s hot outdoors or you’re working outside, or even playing in the garden, you want something that will quench your thirst. And chocolate just tends to make you feel even more dehydrated, which is why sweets are such a popular choice during the hotter months.
Which is why you might be more inclined to quench your thirst with a watermelon lolly . Or get the juices flowing with a sour flavour sweet.
If you’re wondering what sweets you might retail in your shop however, consider stocking up on your bagged ranges as these are easy to grab and perfect for a picnic.
We have a wide selection of Haribo for you to choose from - and with Haribo breathing new life into their beloved range, including adding in exotic fruit flavours and wild berry sweets to their limited edition bags of Starmix and Tangfastic, you’ll capture both adults and kids’ attention with these new and exciting variants of perennially popular sweets.
A study by Nielsen showed that in the warmer months, we tend to look for more refreshing choices, rather than comforting ones. And chocolate is definitely thought of as a comforter. So why not put your chocolate range on the back burner for now and focus on stocking up on seasonally flavoured sweets such as fruity treats combining peach flavours, or strawberry, raspberry or berries in general?
Slush puppies for summer
What can be more refreshing than a slushie on a hot summer’s day? Kids love a cool slush puppie to slurp when the sun is out. Who are we kidding, they love them on a cold day too.

Want to expand your slush puppie shelf? How about offering customers a slush puppie dip n lick or spray candy ? Any child who loves a slushie will find it tough to resist the rest of the range.
Childhood sweet memories
When the sun’s out, the picnic blankets come out too, and what better way to end a picnic than with a sweet treat? Something light and delicious like popcorn, marshmallows or candyfloss cups perhaps?
