We Tried 10 European Candies You Can Get in Canada — Here’s What Blew Us Away

 

If you've ever wandered the aisles of a European candy shop or returned from a trip abroad with a suitcase full of sweets, you know one truth: European candy just hits different. The flavors are bolder, the chocolate richer, and the textures? Out of this world.

But what if we told you that you don’t need a passport or a plane ticket to indulge in these treats? At Candyville, a leading Canadian candy store and wholesale candy supplier, we’ve brought Europe’s finest right to your doorstep.

We tried 10 must-have European candies available right here in Canada through Candyville—and we’re still buzzing from the sugar high. Here’s what blew us away:

1. Haribo Goldbears (Germany)

These iconic gummy bears are chewy, fruity, and downright addictive.

Why we loved it: Each bear is packed with real fruit juice flavor and that perfect, satisfying chew.

Snack tip: Freeze them for a firmer bite!

2. Terry’s Chocolate Orange (UK)

Imagine smooth, creamy milk chocolate infused with real orange oil—then shaped like an orange. A British holiday staple.

Why we loved it: You have to “whack” it to break it into slices. It’s a snack and an experience.

Bonus: It makes a perfect gift!

3. Milka Alpine Milk Chocolate (Switzerland)

Swiss chocolate royalty. Smooth, velvety, and dangerously easy to eat.

Why we loved it: Unlike anything you’ll find on typical supermarket shelves. The milk from Alpine cows truly makes a difference.

4. Kinder Bueno (Italy)

Crispy wafer, milky hazelnut cream, and a milk chocolate coating—it’s Kinder magic.

Why we loved it: The contrast between the crunchy shell and creamy center is a dream combo.

Fun Fact: It’s a top-seller at our candy store in Toronto!

5. Ritter Sport Cornflakes (Germany)

German engineering meets chocolate innovation. Think of it as an upscale Nestlé Crunch.

Why we loved it: Crunchy, light, and just sweet enough—not too overpowering.

Best for: Midday pick-me-ups or post-dinner treats.

6. Toblerone (Switzerland)

A Swiss classic with honey-almond nougat and unique triangular peaks.

Why we loved it: Iconic taste + fun to share (or not). Each bite has layers of texture and flavor.

Tip: The dark chocolate version is a hidden gem.

7. Maltesers (UK)

A malted milk core wrapped in milk chocolate. Airy, crispy, and poppable.

Why we loved it: Light enough to eat a dozen without feeling too guilty.

Snack idea: Sprinkle them on ice cream or milkshakes.

8. Fazer Salmiakki (Finland)

This one’s for the brave: Finnish salty licorice. An acquired taste—but a cultural icon.

Why we loved it: Bold, unexpected, and pure Finland in candy form.

Warning: Not for everyone—but if you love licorice, it’s a must-try.

9. Chupa Chups Lollipops (Spain)

The world’s most famous lollipop, designed by Salvador Dalí himself.

Why we loved it: Classic flavors like strawberry-cream or cola still stand strong today.

Kid-approved: Big hit at birthday parties and candy buffets!

10. Bounty Chocolate Bar (UK)

Moist coconut filling covered in silky milk chocolate.

Why we loved it: A tropical vacation in every bite.

Team split: You either love coconut—or you don’t. We’re firmly on #TeamBounty.
