Haribo Sweets

Haribo Sweets

Haribo Sweets have become part of British sweet-shop culture, bringing colourful gummies, fizzy favourites, foam sweets, fruit jellies and unmistakable shapes to party bags, cinema nights, family cupboards and pick n mix counters. From Gold Bears and Starmix to Tangfastics, Supermix, Giant Strawbs and Rhubarb & Custard, Haribo has created a range with remarkably few quiet corners.

At Sweets UK, our Haribo Sweets collection brings together classic bags, individual favourites, tubs, jars, cones, mini bags, bulk formats and gift-ready selections. Whether you want one familiar bag or enough Haribo to supply a celebration, office, wedding or household with suspiciously ambitious appetites, there is a format to suit.

The Story Behind Haribo

Haribo was founded by Hans Riegel in Bonn, Germany, in 1920. The name HARIBO was formed using the opening letters of Hans Riegel Bonn, creating one of the most recognisable confectionery names in the world.

In 1922, Hans Riegel created the Dancing Bear, a fruit-gum sweet inspired by the trained bears once seen at European fairs. This early sweet became the predecessor of the modern Gold Bear and helped establish the colourful gummy category with which Haribo remains closely associated.

From those small beginnings, Haribo developed into an international confectionery brand with products enjoyed across numerous markets. Different countries now have their own flavours, ranges and pack formats, which means imported Haribo can occasionally look or taste different from familiar UK varieties.

Why Haribo Sweets Remain So Popular

Haribo has endured because the range combines recognisable products with continual variety. Customers know what a Starmix bag promises, but they can also discover unfamiliar fruit gummies, sour sweets, liquorice, marshmallows and imported releases.

  • One of the world’s most recognisable gummy sweet brands.
  • Classic fruit, cola, strawberry and sour flavours.
  • Soft jelly, chewy gummy, foam and fizzy textures.
  • Individual favourites and mixed sharing bags.
  • Party-ready mini bags, cones, jars and tubs.
  • Large 1kg and 3kg formats for events and sharing.
  • Selection boxes, hampers and personalised gifts.
  • Halal products available in a dedicated range.

Haribo Gold Bears

Haribo Gold Bears are the sweets most closely associated with the brand. Their little bear shapes, assorted fruit flavours and firm gummy chew have made them an international confectionery classic.

The standard Haribo Gold Bears are ideal for everyday snacking and sharing. Customers planning larger occasions can choose 1kg Haribo Gold Bears or a substantial Haribo Gold Bears 3kg Bulk Bag.

For parties and gifts, Gold Bears are also available in cones, cups, buckets and the Haribo Goldbears Gift Jar. It is difficult to accuse a tiny gummy bear of being versatile, yet here we are.

Haribo Starmix

Haribo Starmix is one of Britain’s best-known mixed sweet bags. Its combination of bears, rings, hearts, fried eggs and cola bottles provides several flavours and textures in one recognisable assortment.

The classic Haribo Starmix bag suits movie nights, family sharing and everyday treats. Larger groups can choose the Haribo Starmix Tub, while a Jar of Haribo Starmix Sweets turns the familiar mix into a gift-ready display.

Haribo Tangfastics

Haribo Tangfastics are made for customers who prefer their Haribo with a fizzy coating and a sharper fruit flavour. The mix includes recognisable sour shapes and cola favourites with the familiar Tangfastics sugar-coated finish.

Choose a classic Haribo Tangfastics bag for everyday sharing or a Haribo Tangfastics Tub for parties, offices and larger sweet tables.

For gift presentation, the Jar of Haribo Tangfastics Sweets provides a cheerful supply of fizzy favourites without requiring the recipient to pretend one ordinary bag was ever going to be enough.

Haribo Supermix

Haribo Supermix combines fruity gummies with softer foam-backed sweets. The varied textures make it a gentler alternative to heavily fizzy assortments while still offering plenty of shapes and flavours.

The Haribo Supermix sharing bag is a familiar family favourite. Bigger occasions can be catered for with the Haribo Supermix Tub, while the Jar of Haribo Supermix Sweets makes an easy birthday or thank-you gift.

Haribo Rhubarb & Custard

Haribo Rhubarb & Custard takes one of Britain’s most nostalgic flavour combinations and presents it as a soft, chewy sweet. The sharp fruit character of rhubarb is balanced by a smoother custard-style sweetness.

This range is available in numerous formats, including the classic Haribo Rhubarb & Custard, a Haribo Rhubarb & Custard Sweet Cone, sharing tubs, jars and large bulk bags.

Haribo Strawberry Sweets

Strawberry is one of the most popular flavours in the Haribo range. Browse our Haribo Strawberry collection for smooth, foamy and chewy strawberry favourites.

Haribo Giant Strawbs provide a satisfyingly substantial strawberry chew, while Haribo Squidgy Strawbs offer a softer texture. The Haribo Strawberry Foam Primavera adds another distinctly foamy option for strawberry fans.

For larger parties or displays, customers can choose 1kg Haribo Giant Strawbs or the Haribo Giant Strawberries 3kg Bulk Bag.

Haribo Cola Sweets

Haribo has turned cola into several enduring gummy favourites. Haribo Cola Bottles provide a smooth finish and familiar bottle shape, while Haribo Fizzy Cola Bottles add a sharper sugar coating.

Haribo Giant Cola Bottles deliver a longer chew and stronger visual impact. They are also available in tubs and 3kg bulk bags for large events, sweet tables and dedicated cola-bottle fans.

Haribo Fried Eggs, Rings and Hearts

Some Haribo shapes have become traditional pick n mix favourites in their own right. Haribo Fried Eggs combine a soft white foam base with a colourful jelly centre, while Haribo Rings bring bright colour and a satisfyingly chewy texture.

Haribo Hearts suit weddings, anniversaries and romantic gifts, while friendship rings work particularly well in party bags and sharing selections.

These recognisable shapes are available in larger formats through our Haribo Bulk Sweets collection.

Haribo Yellow Bellies and Giant Sweets

Haribo Yellow Bellies are long snake-shaped sweets with a combination of jelly and foam textures. Their size makes them a standout addition to pick n mix bags and novelty displays.

Other larger favourites include Haribo Giant Dummies, Giant Cola Bottles and Giant Strawbs. These sweets offer more chew, more visual impact and absolutely no interest in subtle presentation.

Haribo Jelly Babies and Jelly Beans

Our Haribo Jelly Babies collection includes classic and mini formats with soft textures and assorted fruit flavours.

Choose Haribo Jelly Babies for the classic shape or Haribo Mini Jelly Babies for a smaller pick n mix piece.

Customers who prefer a compact bean-shaped sweet can explore Haribo Jelly Beans. Their bright colours and small size make them useful for jars, party cups and mixed confectionery displays.

Haribo Turtles, Crocodiles and Animals

Haribo’s talent for turning animals into fruit-flavoured confectionery extends well beyond bears. Haribo Turtles, Haribo Croco, Twin Snakes, frogs and other creature-shaped gummies add variety to party bowls and pick n mix.

Animal sweets are particularly popular with children, although adults rarely require much persuasion once the bag has been opened.

Haribo Rainbow and Fizzy Sweets

Haribo’s fizzy range includes belts, strips, worms, cherries, cola shapes and mixed sour sweets. Haribo Rainbow Strips Zing combine several colours with a tangy coating, while Haribo Rainbow Worms provide a softer fruit-gummy shape.

More adventurous options include Haribo Sour Sparks, Haribo Rainbow Pixel Fizz and Haribo Happy Cherries Zing.

Haribo Liquorice and Wine Gums

Haribo is best known for colourful gummies, but the range also includes darker traditional flavours. Haribo Rotella offers coiled liquorice wheels, while Haribo Pontefract Cakes connects the brand with one of Britain’s best-known liquorice traditions.

Haribo Wine Gums provide another classic chewy option with assorted fruit flavours and a firmer texture than many soft gummies.

Haribo Chamallows

Haribo Chamallows bring a light, soft marshmallow texture to the wider range. Pink and white Haribo Chamallows are ideal for hot chocolate, dessert tables, family sharing and sweet cones.

Their soft texture creates a useful contrast when mixed with firmer gummies and fizzy sweets.

Haribo Pick n Mix

Haribo Pick n Mix allows customers to combine individual favourites rather than relying on one standard sharing bag. It is ideal when somebody loves Giant Strawbs but considers fried eggs a regrettable use of valuable bag space.

A strong Haribo pick n mix can include:

  • Gold Bears for classic fruit gummies.
  • Cola Bottles for a familiar cola flavour.
  • Giant Strawbs for a larger strawberry chew.
  • Rhubarb & Custard for a nostalgic flavour.
  • Fried Eggs for mixed jelly and foam texture.
  • Rainbow Strips or Tangfastics for fizz.
  • Yellow Bellies or Giant Dummies as statement pieces.

The ready-made Haribo Pick n Mix product offers a convenient selection, while the Haribo Pick n Mix Selection Gift Box turns the idea into a polished present.

Haribo 1kg Sweets

One-kilogram bags provide a generous quantity of a single Haribo favourite without requiring the space or commitment of the largest trade-style format. They work well for families, parties, sweet jars and customers who already know exactly which sweet they want.

Available choices include:

Haribo 3kg Bulk Bags

Our Haribo 3kg Bulk Bags are designed for weddings, large parties, sweet carts, businesses, community events and serious household restocking.

The range can include Gold Bears, Jelly Babies, Fried Eggs, Friendship Rings, Giant Cola Bottles, Giant Strawberries, Happy Cherries, Heart Throbs, Pontefract Cakes and Terrific Turtles.

For more sizes and formats, browse our complete Haribo Bulk Bags collection.

Haribo Tubs and Buckets

Haribo Tubs provide a practical format for parties, offices, sweet tables and family cupboards. The rigid container is easy to store and can be resealed between determined visits.

Available tubs can include Happy Cola, Giant Cola Bottles, Heart Throbs, Yellow Bellies, Giant Strawbs, Giant Dummies, Rhubarb & Custard, Terrific Turtles, Happy Cherries, Rotella, Tangfastics, Supermix and Starmix.

Customers looking for another reusable sharing format can explore our Haribo Buckets.

Haribo Sweet Jars

Haribo Gift Jars turn familiar sweets into attractive birthday, thank-you and celebration presents. Clear jars display the shapes and colours while keeping the sweets neatly stored.

Popular choices include:

Personalised Haribo Sweet Jars

Personalisation makes a familiar sweet gift feel more specific to the recipient. Choose a Personalised Haribo Sweet Jar for birthdays and everyday celebrations or a Personalised Haribo Heart Sweets Jar for anniversaries and affectionate gifts.

Other options include personalised Starmix, Jelly Babies and Rhubarb & Custard jars.

Haribo Sweet Cones

Haribo Sweet Cones are ideal for birthday parties, wedding favours, school events and children’s celebrations. Their clear presentation displays the sweets while providing each guest with an individual portion.

Single-variety cones can be built around Gold Bears or Rhubarb & Custard, while mixed cones offer several shapes and flavours in one party-ready format.

Haribo Mini Bags

Mini bags are useful when sweets need to be handed out quickly, cleanly and fairly. They require no scooping, weighing or emergency intervention when one party bag appears to contain three more sweets than another.

Popular formats include:

They are excellent for party bags, sweet cones, school rewards, wedding favours, fundraising events and large celebrations.

Haribo Selection Boxes

Haribo Selection Boxes offer several varieties in one ready-made present. They are ideal when the recipient enjoys Haribo generally and forcing the buyer to choose one favourite would be unnecessarily restrictive.

Options include the Haribo Sweets Classic Selection Box, Haribo Sweets Top 10 Selection Box, Haribo Gummy Selection Gift Box and Haribo Retro Selection Gift Box.

Haribo Gifts and Hampers

Browse our Haribo Gifts for birthdays, thank-you presents, graduations, Christmas, good-luck wishes and everyday surprises.

The Haribo Sweets Gift Hamper offers a generous mixed selection, while the Haribo Sweets Mega Gift Hamper is designed for occasions where modesty has quite correctly been dismissed.

More gift-ready options can be found within our Haribo Sweet Hampers collection.

Haribo Letterbox Sweets

Letterbox Haribo Sweets make it easy to send a branded sweet treat directly to friends, relatives, students or colleagues. The delivery-friendly format suits birthdays, care packages and simple “thinking of you” gestures.

The Haribo Selection Letterbox Gift provides additional variety, while individual favourites such as Giant Strawbs, Jelly Babies and Rhubarb & Custard are also available in letterbox formats.

Haribo Halal Sweets

Our Haribo Halal Sweets collection brings together specifically labelled halal varieties such as Gold Bears, Cola Bottles, Starmix, worms, berries, peaches and tropical gummies.

Not every Haribo product is halal. Recipes can vary according to the product and the country in which it was manufactured, so customers should choose a product clearly identified as halal and check the current packaging.

Gift buyers can also choose a Haribo Halal Sweets Selection Box or Haribo Halal Selection Gift Box.

Maoam Sweets

Maoam Sweets form part of the wider Haribo family and offer an intensely fruity alternative to traditional gummies. Their firmer, chewier texture gives the range a character of its own.

Popular choices include Mini Maoam Bloxx, Maoam Stripes, Maoam Pinballs Fruit & Cola and Maoam Joystixx.

Haribo Christmas Sweets

Haribo Christmas Sweets add familiar gummy flavour to festive gifting, stocking fillers and family treat cupboards. Seasonal stock can include themed shapes, gift boxes, mini bags and special Christmas presentation.

The Haribo Christmas Gift Box provides a ready-made present, while a Haribo Secret Santa Letterbox Gift can be sent directly to the recipient.

Seasonal products may be available for limited periods, so the range can change as Christmas approaches.

Haribo Sweets for Birthdays

Haribo works particularly well for birthdays because it suits several gift sizes. A mini bag can be used as a party filler, a jar makes a polished personal gift and a hamper creates a larger centrepiece.

The Haribo Birthday Gift Selection Box offers a ready-made assortment, while the Haribo Happy Birthday Personalised Gift Hamper adds a more personal touch.

Haribo Thank You Gifts

Haribo also provides a friendly alternative to formal thank-you presents. A Haribo Thank You Gift Selection Box works for teachers, colleagues, neighbours and friends, while the Haribo Thank You Personalised Gift Hamper creates a larger gesture of appreciation.

Haribo for Parties and Weddings

Bright colours, recognisable shapes and several portion formats make Haribo useful for birthdays, weddings, school events and family celebrations.

Use large bags or tubs to fill a central sweet table, jars for display, mini bags for individual guests and cones as take-home favours. Mixing smooth gummies, foam sweets and fizzy pieces gives guests more choice than a single-variety bowl.

Ingredients and Dietary Information

Haribo recipes vary between products and international markets. Different sweets may contain gelatine, wheat, milk or other ingredients that affect allergen and dietary suitability.

Always read the current packaging before consumption, particularly if you require products that are halal, vegetarian, vegan, gluten free or free from specific allergens. A product’s colour, flavour or similarity to another Haribo sweet does not confirm that the recipes are identical.

Manufacturers may also update ingredients, pack sizes and artwork, so the information printed on the supplied package remains the most reliable source.
