Okay, so this isn’t your typical “I found a cute candy” post. This is a where-have-you-been-all-my-life kind of story.
A few weeks ago, I stumbled across a bag of Swedish Happy Flowers while browsing for snacks online (because apparently that’s my hobby now when owning a candy store). I wasn’t even planning on buying candy, but the name caught my eye. Happy Flowers? I mean… how could I not?
Fast-forward to now, and I’m on my third bag. No shame.
What Are Happy Flowers, Exactly?
Despite sounding like something you’d plant in your garden, Happy Flowers are actually Swedish gummies, and they're ridiculously cute. They're soft, chewy little candies shaped like flowers, with vibrant colors and fruity flavors that somehow manage to taste real. Not the weird synthetic stuff you get with some gummies.
They’re made in Sweden, which honestly makes sense—because leave it to the Swedes to create candy that’s equal parts wholesome, playful, and delicious.
So, What Do They Taste Like?
In a word: Yum.
The flavors vary, but most bags include a mix of fruit—like raspberry, blackcurrant, lemon, and sometimes even elderflower (which I had never tried in candy form before, but now I want it in everything). They have that satisfying, soft-but-chewy texture that makes it impossible to eat just one.
What I love most is that they don’t taste overly sweet. There’s a little tang, a lot of flavor, and none of that weird sugar-aftertaste you get with some other gummy brands. You can actually enjoy them without needing to chug a glass of water afterward.
Why I’m Hooked
Aside from the fact that they taste amazing? A few more reasons I’ve been telling basically everyone I know about these:
- They're adorable – Honestly, they just make me happy. The shape, the colors… it’s like eating candy that’s also a little work of art.
-
They feel kind of nostalgic – But in a cool, European way. Like something your friend from Sweden might bring back from a summer trip.
Where to Find Them
If you’re now wildly curious (I don’t blame you), there are a couple of spots online where you can get them. I ordered mine from:
👉 Swedish Candy Store – Great selection of Swedish sweets, and shipping was quick.
Both have solid reviews and carry authentic Swedish brands, so you’re not getting some knockoff version.
A Few Fun Ways to Eat Them
Not that you need ideas, but here are a few things I’ve done (because clearly this is a new personality trait now):
- Tossed a handful into a little jar and gave it as a gift. Instant hit.
- Made a snack mix with popcorn and salty pretzels—highly recommend.
- Used them as cute cake decorations for my niece’s birthday. They looked like actual flowers. She freaked out.
- Hid a bag in my nightstand drawer and didn’t share with anyone. Oops.
FAQs – Because I Had These Questions Too
Are they just for kids?
Nope. I’m a full-grown adult and I’m not even pretending to buy these for someone else anymore.
Are they super sweet?
They’re sweet, but not in a gross way. More like... juicy and flavorful with a bit of tang. You won’t feel like you just ate a spoonful of sugar.
Do we ship internationally?
Yes! we do!
Final Thoughts (a.k.a. Buy Them)
Listen. I wasn’t expecting to fall in love with flower-shaped Swedish candy. But here we are.
If you’re even a little bit curious, go grab a bag. Or two. Or be like me and end up ordering more because you “accidentally” ate the first one in two days.
Trust me—Swedish Happy Flowers are the kind of candy that actually lives up to the name. They’re happy. They’re floral. They’re perfect.
You’ll thank me later. Promise.
