Globally Sourced Candy from Around the World

At lil sweet treat, every piece of candy in our store has traveled from somewhere worth knowing about. We source our sweets directly from Europe and around the world - importing from Sweden, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Germany, France, and more. Our globally sourced selection is available to mix and match by the bag in store at any of our locations across New York City, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington DC, Chicago and Los Angeles, or shop online for nationwide shipping.

Why we source globally

There's a whole world of candy most people never get to try. We bring it to you, so you don't have to miss out on textures and combinations that are unlike anything made here. We import these because finding them is half the fun - and sharing them is the other half.

Where our lil sweet treats come from

Belgium has one of the most respected confectionery traditions in the world — a country where candy making is taken as seriously as chocolate. Our Belgian imports bring that same sensibility to gummies: dense, satisfying chews with flavor that lingers in a way that lighter, airier candy doesn't. Once you've tried a Belgian gummy, the difference is hard to ignore.

Sweden has a candy culture unlike anywhere else. The tradition of lördagsgodis - Saturday candy - means generations of Swedes have grown up with a genuine appreciation for quality sweets, and the candy reflects it. Swedish candy is known for bold sour notes, chewy textures, and flavor combinations that feel both familiar and completely new. It's the section of our Pick + Mix wall that tends to get the most love.

The Czech Republic produces some of the most underrated gummy candy in Europe. Czech confectionery tends toward fruit-forward flavors with vivid colors and a satisfying chew - the kind of candy that tastes exactly like what it's supposed to be. We carry a rotating selection of Czech gummies that consistently surprise customers who've never tried them before, and regularly end up among the most reached-for bins on our Pick + Mix wall.

Germany has a long and serious tradition of sugar confectionery - it's a country that takes candy craft genuinely seriously. German gummy bears, sour worms, and chewy sweets are iconic for a reason. If you grew up eating gummies and want to understand where that obsession came from, the German section of our wall is a good place to start.

French confectionery brings a more refined sensibility to candy - delicate fruit flavors, soft textures, and a lightness that balances out the bolder flavors around it. A quiet favorite for people who didn't expect to love French candy as much as they do.

And beyond... Our selection rotates regularly as we discover new sweets and treats worth carrying. We're always looking for the next great candy from somewhere new - check our Pick + Mix wall in store or browse our full selection online for the latest additions.
