All the best candies of 2024

2024 best candy try it Jan 02, 2025

I've tried hundreds of candies this year.

All for you!

Ok, also for me. Mostly because I love candy, but don't want to waste time with not-so-good candies.

Here are the TOP TEN of 2024:

10. Susse Mause

The cutest marshmallow mice. Put them in a jar or add them to dirt cups. Great chew.

9. Sour Power Straws

I thought sour Spaghetti Fizz were better than the Sour Power Straws, but trying them together, realized the Sour Power Straws were more sour and flavorful.

8. Pigs

Don't mix these up with other pig candies. These are the best raspberry pig candy available. Raspberry flavored.

7. Bumix

A foamy marshmallow candy in multiple flavors and animal shapes. But it's the sweet devils that make these candies one of the top of 2024.

6. Hi-Chew Sweet and Sour

Hi-Chews aren't new or unusual, but this mix is one of the best Hi-Chews ever. They nailed the grapefruit, watermelon, and lemon flavors.

There are many flavors of sour belts that are delicious, but the mango are the absolute best. Thin belts drenched in sour sugar. (in case they're sold out, try this link: https://urlgeni.us/amzn/mangobelts2 )

4. XXL Caterpillars

30 foam caterpillars in the tub. They are so fun to eat AND deliciously light. My husband and 15yo son said these are their second favorite candy of 2024.

3. Sour Grapefruit Bottles

These Swedish gummies are straight up delightful. I imagine every gummy candy tries to have this type of chew and flavor. DE-LIGHT-FUL! Use the code WORST to get 10% off any candy (or other products) at Jolley's Corner.

2. Sour Squid/Octopus

The popular Bubs candies have been shared all over the internet, but these are their best candies, IMHO. They are a foamy gummy marshmallow-y candy covered in sour sugar. SO GOOD

(Here are two other places to buy, just in case: https://swedishcandystore.com/products/bubs-sour-octopus or https://karameller.com/products/bubs-sour-octopus )

1. Kracher Frucht

We have been eating these all year long and they never get tiresome. Always delicious. We've sold them out on Amazon more than three times this year. Trust me, get the tub. The cola flavor is added to the bags and makes the rest of the candies taste different (like, well, cola). Get the tub.

TWO BONUS CANDIES:

If I could share an even dozen candies of 2024, I would have added MILLIONS (the candy. Not the amount of additional candies to share) and Nerds Clusters.

I LOVE Nerds Clusters, but feel like they were a 2023 candy... if I had shared a 2023 candy list.

And Millions are difficult to find. So until I find an easier (and more affordable) option, they will have to wait.
