Pick and mix candy — choosing individual candies to build your own custom bag — has exploded in popularity thanks to Swedish candy stores and TikTok. Here are the best online pick-and-mix stores ranked by selection, quality, price, and shipping speed.
What Is Pick and Mix?
Pick and mix (called "lösgodis" in Swedish, meaning "loose candy") is the tradition of choosing individual candies by the piece to build your own custom bag. In Sweden, this is how most candy is sold — the lördagsgodis (Saturday candy) tradition makes pick and mix a weekly ritual for millions of families.

How to Build the Perfect Pick and Mix Bag
A great pick-and-mix bag includes something from each category: sour (BUBS Sour Skulls), sweet/fruity (Tutti Frutti), licorice (start with Malaco Sweet Licorice), chocolate (Plopp or Dumle), and a wild card you've never tried.
Most stores sell by weight. A good individual serving is 200-300g. For family Saturday candy, 500g-1kg is typical.
