Summer party season is upon us and if you’re planning a garden party, beach party or street party, pick & mix sweets make an excellent party favour to put out on tables or hand out to guests as they arrive.
But what are the best choice of pick & mix sweets for summer parties? Here we’ve picked out a handful of our favourite products for this time of year, to celebrate the sunniest season of all…
Kingsway Beach Mix
Kingsway Beach Mix is a colourful summer-themed gummy mix with shapes including bucket and spade, ice cream cornet, beach ball and parasol.
Flavours include real fruit juice from concentrate, with grape, pear, pineapple and peach, and the big 3kg bag will go a long way if you’re mixing up pick & mix bags of your own.
Pran Ice Batons
Pran Ice Batons need freezing but you could have them ready to hand out as a frozen refreshment or put one in each pick & mix selection for your guests to freeze when they get home.
Flavours include mango, orange, pineapple, strawberry and lychee, and they’re fat-free. We’ve often seen these used as drinks, rather than frozen, so it’s a really versatile option.
Gummi Zone Yummy Gummy Doughnuts
No trip to the beach is complete without a bag of doughnuts, but Gummi Zone Yummy Gummy Doughnuts are the perfect substitute in pick & mix for summer parties.
They’re jelly and foam doughnuts with fruit and yoghurt flavours, supplied as a 24-count of packs with three doughnuts in each pack, so one box goes a long way.
Slush Puppie Super Spray
We have a range of ice pops and slush available for delivery by pallet, but a great alternative for summer party pick & mix bags is Slush Puppie Super Spray.
It’s a liquid candy spray with the Slush Puppie brand name, so you know you’re getting the same great flavours you’ve loved for years in slush, but in a handy compact liquid spray bottle that you can pop into your party bags.
