Bulk Organic Snacks

The Top 5 Types of Bulk Candy for the Summer

Summertime is just made for adventure. Whether you are a kid ready to enjoy a few months of no school and hanging out with your friends or an adult looking forward to weekend getaways to the shore, summer is the time of year to get out and explore.

For trips to your lakeside cottage or even just to the local swimming pool, you are going to need some snacks to bring along. Sure, everybody loves to cool down with an ice cream cone or a refreshing Italian ice, but they aren’t always the most practical of summertime treats. You can’t exactly bring a package of ice cream sandwiches with you on your hike to the local swimming hole. Not unless you want a gooey mess in your backpack when you get there at least!

No, summertime trips require a delicious candy that you can conveniently pack away. And buying your summer candy in bulk is a great way to save money and always be ready to roll. These five candies are by far the best for keeping on hand and ready to throw into a baggie to take with you wherever you go.

5. Licorice

Licorice is a perfect candy for the summertime. For starters, it won’t melt on you, and it also comes in a surprisingly wide array of varieties. You have your classic choice between “Australian” black or red. The Australian style simply means the swirled licorice that many people are accustomed to.
But of course, that isn’t the only type of licorice out there. You can also get black or red mixes, strawberry or black licorice wheels, a jumbo bag of all sorts of licorice, red licorice Scotties, or even some good old-fashioned Good & Plentys. Make this season reminiscent of the summers of years gone by with delicious licorice treats.

4. Bubble Gum

Bubble gum is another classic example of a perfect summertime treat. Of course gum is great for the summer, but it is also a must-have in your bag at any time of year. Not only is it a delicious treat, but it is also a great way to freshen up your breath.

A good starting option for bulk bubble gum is a gum mix. This mix comes in a paint can and has an assorted variety of different bar gums, gumballs, and larger “Very Cherry” gumballs. The pieces of gum in bar form even have fun facts tucked inside the wrappers!

If you really love the bar style of chewing gum, you can purchase a whole paint can full of delicious gum in this style. If you are more of a gumball aficionado, you can select your own packaging style of assorted gumballs. If you just want to keep things simple, a bulk lot of classic Dubble Bubble could be perfect for you. No matter what your pleasure, you can find great bubble gum treats to suit your tastes.

3. Sugar Free

With all the vacations and weekend barbeques that occur in the summer, it can be easy to get into a bad habit of unhealthy eating. A side of macaroni salad with your hot dog won’t kill you a few times over a summer, but all of that mayonnaise can add up as the months go by.

The same thing goes with sugary treats. Ice cream is a fantastic way to cool down on a hot day, but when a heat wave rolls through, you can quickly find yourself putting on weight by snacking on sugary treats and sitting in the air conditioning all day.

Cut down on calories by replacing your candy with a sugar free variety. In many cases, these candies taste just as good as the original. You can find sugar free Jelly Belly jelly beans, sugar free gummy bears, sugar free gumballs, and even sugar free malt balls. Just watch those malt balls out in the sun, as they can melt in a hurry!

2. Gummy

In many towns and cities across the country, local organizations will put on outdoor movie nights in public parks once or a twice a week. There is nothing like getting the family together and taking them out for a fun flick under the starry sky.

Gummy candies are a movie classic because you can make these treats last. Explore a world of flavor with gummy bears in cherry, apple, red raspberry or many more flavors.

1. Sour

People of a certain age remember sour candies as the ultimate summertime treat. There was a time when you could go to the corner store and get pieces of sour candy for a penny a piece. You could roll in there with a quarter and have enough snacks to last you the whole day.

Relive that excitement with a bulk lot of sour candy. You can get sour belts, a sour mix, sour gummy bears, and much, much more. Sour candies are truly the perfect treat for your summertime adventure.

Remember this year that even when the weather is sweltering, summer is the best time to get out and enjoy yourself. And don’t forget that the best way to snack during the summer months is with these delicious bulk candies.
