What Are Haribo Rhubarb & Custard Sweets?
Haribo Rhubarb & Custard sweets are soft fruit-and-cream-flavoured chews inspired by one of Britain’s most enduring pudding and confectionery combinations. The lively rhubarb character provides a fruity tang, while smoother custard notes introduce a creamy sweetness that balances every piece.
Unlike traditional boiled rhubarb and custard sweets, Haribo’s interpretation has a tender, chewy texture. This gives a familiar flavour combination the playful character associated with the wider collection of Haribo Sweets.

Why Rhubarb and Custard Works So Well
Rhubarb and custard is a flavour partnership built on contrast. Rhubarb brings brightness and a gentle fruity sharpness, while custard adds rounder, creamier sweetness. One keeps the flavour lively; the other prevents it from becoming too sharp.
The result is distinctive without being aggressively sour. It has enough fruitiness to feel fresh, enough sweetness to remain comforting and enough nostalgia to remind many recipients of puddings, sweet jars and childhood visits to the local confectioner.

A Retro Sweet with Modern Haribo Texture
Rhubarb and custard has been used in puddings, boiled sweets, chews and other British treats for generations. Haribo retains that recognisable flavour contrast but presents it in a softer format with distinctive colouring and an immediately accessible chew.
This combination of old and new makes it an appealing choice for fans of Retro Sweets. Adults can rediscover a familiar pairing, while younger sweet lovers can enjoy it as a colourful Haribo favourite without requiring any knowledge of what once occupied their grandparents’ sweet cupboard.
A Letterbox Gift for Traditional Sweet Lovers
The letterbox format makes sending a thoughtful present refreshingly straightforward. There is no need to arrange an elaborate hamper or ask the recipient to wait indoors for a delivery. Instead, a box of nostalgic confectionery can arrive directly through the door, ready to be opened and enjoyed.

Traditional Flavour Without the Hard-Boiled Texture
Traditional rhubarb and custard confectionery is frequently made as a hard-boiled sweet. Haribo takes the flavour in a different direction, creating a soft chew that releases the fruity and creamy notes immediately.
This difference is useful for anyone who enjoys the familiar flavour but wants something softer than boiled confectionery. Customers interested in pear drops, sherbet lemons, barley sugar and other heritage favourites can explore our broader collection of Traditional Sweets.
Perfect for Haribo Fans
Haribo is best known for brightly coloured gummies and sharing-bag favourites such as Gold Bears, Starmix, Tangfastics, Supermix, Giant Strawbs and cola bottles. Rhubarb & Custard adds a distinctly British flavour to that varied confectionery range.
For jars, hampers, boxes and branded present ideas, browse our collection of Haribo Gifts. The familiar brand name and nostalgic flavour make this letterbox box suitable for adults as well as younger recipients.
A Distinctive Pick and Mix Favourite
Rhubarb & Custard brings welcome variety to a mixed sweet selection. Its combination of fruity tang, creamy flavour and tender texture stands apart from intensely sour gummies and straightforward fruit-flavoured sweets.
Explore our Haribo Pick n Mix for more branded favourites that can be combined with Rhubarb & Custard. Contrasting shapes and flavours create a more interesting selection, although recipients devoted to this particular variety may reasonably prefer an entire box to themselves.
More Ways to Enjoy Haribo Rhubarb & Custard
The letterbox box is ideal for sending a convenient surprise, but the same flavour is available in other formats for different occasions. Our 1kg Haribo Rhubarb & Custard bag provides a larger quantity for parties, sweet tables, jars and family sharing.
For a present with an individual touch, choose a Personalised Haribo Rhubarb & Custard Sweet Jar. The personalised presentation transforms a nostalgic favourite into a memorable birthday, thank-you or celebration gift.
Perfect for Sweet Jars and Gift Collections
The distinctive colours and recognisable flavour make these sweets an attractive addition to mixed confectionery presents. They pair particularly well with boiled sweets, mints, fruit chews and other nostalgic favourites.
Explore our collection of Sweet Jars for more traditional and branded confectionery presented in reusable gift-ready containers.
A Convenient Gift by Post
Postal sweets are useful when friends and relatives live further away or a busy schedule prevents an in-person celebration. They offer something tangible and enjoyable without creating the complications associated with fragile, perishable or oversized presents.
Our wider collection of Gifts by Post includes sweet boxes, chocolate presents, hampers and other delivery-friendly treats for birthdays and everyday surprises.
