1kg Haribo Rhubarb and Custard
1kg Haribo Rhubarb & Custard – Soft and Chewy Retro Sweets
Our 1kg Haribo Rhubarb & Custard bag delivers a generous helping of one of Britain’s most nostalgic flavour combinations in a distinctly modern Haribo form. Each soft, chewy sweet balances lively rhubarb flavour with mellow custard-style sweetness, creating a fruity and creamy contrast that makes returning for another piece remarkably easy.
Unlike traditional hard-boiled rhubarb and custard sweets, this colourful Haribo interpretation has a tender, satisfyingly chewy texture. It captures the familiar character of the classic British pudding while turning it into a playful confectionery favourite suited to pick and mix bags, sweet jars, parties and sharing.
What Are Haribo Rhubarb and Custard Sweets?
Haribo Rhubarb and Custard sweets are soft fruit-and-cream-flavoured chews inspired by the traditional pairing of tangy rhubarb and smooth custard. Their distinctive colours reflect the two contrasting flavours, giving them instant visual appeal in a sweet jar or pick and mix display.
Every piece brings together:
- Tangy rhubarb flavour with a bright, fruity character
- Creamy custard notes that soften and balance the sharpness
- A soft, chewy texture rather than a hard-boiled finish
- Distinctive two-colour presentation with nostalgic sweet-shop appeal
- Trusted Haribo quality from one of the world’s best-known confectionery brands
- A generous 1kg quantity for sharing, parties and keeping the cupboard properly supplied
Rhubarb Sharpness Meets Creamy Custard
Rhubarb and custard works because the two flavours perform completely different jobs. Rhubarb contributes the fruity tang, while custard supplies a rounder, creamier sweetness. One wakes up the palate; the other reassures it that everything is under control.
The result is sweet without becoming one-dimensional and tangy without turning aggressively sour. These are not fizzy rhubarb and custard sweets covered in sour sugar. Instead, the contrast is built into the flavour itself, producing a balanced chew that feels lively, creamy and pleasantly nostalgic.
Soft and Chewy, Not Hard-Boiled
Traditional rhubarb and custard confectionery is often sold as hard-boiled sweets, but Haribo takes the flavour in a different direction. These pieces have a soft and substantial bite that releases the rhubarb and custard taste immediately.
That distinctive texture makes them an excellent choice for fans of Chewy Sweets. There is no waiting for a boiled sweet to dissolve and no brittle shell to crunch through—just a tender chew and an immediate combination of fruity sharpness and creamy flavour.
The softer format also helps explain their broad appeal. Adults recognise the flavour from traditional sweet shops and childhood puddings, while younger sweet lovers can enjoy the colourful appearance and familiar Haribo chew without requiring any knowledge of what was kept in their grandparents’ confectionery cupboard.
Why Choose a 1kg Bag?
A standard packet is useful for a quick treat. A 1kg bag of Haribo Rhubarb and Custard sweets is intended for occasions requiring rather more commitment. It provides plenty for family sharing, entertaining guests, filling jars or preparing individual portions without immediately running short.
This larger bag is ideal for:
- Family movie nights and weekend treats
- Birthday parties and celebration tables
- Wedding sweet carts and candy buffets
- Filling sweet jars, bowls, cups and containers
- Preparing party bags and sweet cones
- Office kitchens, staff rooms and reception areas
- Retro sweet hampers and confectionery gifts
- Fundraising events, clubs and community gatherings
- Anyone who already knows a small packet will not be enough
Customers planning larger events can browse our Bulk Sweets for more substantial quantities and popular sweet-shop favourites. If one kilogram seems merely introductory, the Haribo Rhubarb and Custard 3kg Bulk Bag offers an even larger format for events, businesses and enthusiastic households.
A Haribo Pick and Mix Favourite
The soft texture, bold flavour and recognisable colours make these sweets a natural addition to Pick and Mix Sweets. They provide a creamy, tangy alternative to fruit gummies, fizzy bottles and heavily sugar-coated sour sweets.
Serve them alone for a coordinated rhubarb and custard selection or combine them with other Haribo Sweets to create a mixture of shapes, textures and flavours. They sit particularly well beside fruity gummies and foam sweets because their creamier character adds contrast to the bag.
The 1kg format also makes portioning straightforward. Divide the sweets between cones and party bags, place them in covered jars or add them to a larger Haribo pick and mix display. Because they are supplied loose rather than individually wrapped, they are easy to arrange and serve in quantities appropriate to the occasion.
Traditional Flavour with Modern Haribo Character
Rhubarb and custard has long been part of British confectionery culture. The pairing appears in puddings, boiled sweets, chews and other nostalgic treats because its balance of sharp fruit and gentle creaminess is difficult to improve upon.
Haribo retains that familiar flavour contrast but presents it with a softer texture and brighter personality. The result belongs just as naturally among modern gummy sweets as it does within a collection of Retro Sweets.
That mixture of familiarity and novelty is precisely the point. These sweets can remind one person of childhood visits to the sweet shop while becoming an entirely new favourite for somebody else.
Made by One of the World’s Best-Known Sweet Brands
Haribo was established by Hans Riegel in Bonn, Germany, in 1920. Its name is formed from the opening letters of Hans Riegel Bonn, while the company’s early Dancing Bear gummies eventually developed into the famous Goldbears.
The brand has since become known worldwide for gummy sweets, fruit-flavoured confectionery, foam sweets, liquorice and countless colourful creations. Haribo Rhubarb and Custard demonstrates one of its particular strengths: taking a familiar flavour and giving it an unmistakably playful texture.
Perfect for Parties, Sweet Tables and Gifts
The distinctive colour combination helps these sweets stand out on party tables and confectionery displays. Fill glass jars for a wedding sweet cart, divide the bag between birthday cones or add them to a mixed hamper for someone who appreciates classic British flavours.
For a more practical ready-to-share format, consider the Haribo Rhubarb and Custard Sweet Tub. The tub is convenient for family treats and workplace sharing, while this 1kg bag is particularly useful when you want flexibility over how the sweets are displayed or portioned.
They also make an appealing addition to confectionery gifts. Their nostalgic flavour gives the recipient something familiar, while the soft Haribo texture prevents the selection from feeling entirely predictable.
Ingredients and Dietary Information
Current Haribo Rhubarb and Custard recipes contain gelatine and are therefore not suitable for vegetarians or vegans. Ingredients, allergen information and manufacturing statements can change, so always read the label supplied with the product before purchasing for a particular dietary requirement.
Customers checking for gluten, wheat, milk or other allergens should use the information on the packaging received rather than relying on the appearance or flavour of the sweets. Similar confectionery products can use very different recipes.
How to Keep Haribo Rhubarb and Custard Fresh
Store the sweets sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat and moisture. Close the bag firmly after opening or transfer the contents to a clean, airtight food container.
Avoid leaving chewy sweets near radiators or in warm cars, as excessive heat can soften them and affect their appearance. Proper storage helps preserve the tender texture and balanced rhubarb and custard flavour—assuming the bag remains unopened long enough for storage to become a serious concern.
