Confectionery

When choosing confectionery on Wowcher, start with the occasion and recipient. For gifting, look for gift boxes or hampers with attractive packaging. Consider dietary needs, dairy-free, vegan, sugar-free, gluten-free options are increasingly available in chocolates and gummies. Always review the ingredient list, allergen warnings, and the cocoa percentage for chocolates. Compare price per weight to gauge true value, and check the expiry date to ensure freshness for long-term storage or upcoming events.

Also pay attention to shipping times and customer reviews where available, since some Wowcher deals ship directly from artisan makers, ensuring freshness and quality. If you’re shopping bulk candy for a party, look for bulk packs and multi-pack savings that maximise the discount per kilo or per bag.

Popular confectionery categories include fine chocolates, from single-origin bars to luxury pralines and truffles, along with fudge, nougat, and caramels that melt in the mouth. You’ll also find jelly beans, gummies, and mints for every palate. For gifts, artisan gift boxes and themed hampers combine a mix of retro sweets, Belgian chocolates, and gourmet fudge to wow recipients.

If you prefer modern twists, there are vegan chocolates and sugar-free options made with natural sweeteners, so you can enjoy sweetness without compromising dietary needs. For events, bulk candy jars and party favors enable effortless planning with standout presentation.

Storage matters almost as much as the selection. Keep confectionery in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve flavor and texture. Most chocolates do best between 14–18°C (57–64°F); store in airtight containers to prevent moisture and odor absorption that can affect taste. Fudge, caramels, and nougat prefer cool, stable temperatures and low humidity to maintain their smoothness and chewiness. For large batches or gift hampers, consider individually wrapped items to extend freshness and ease transportation.

If refrigeration is necessary due to climate or bulk quantities, seal items tightly and allow them to come to room temperature before opening to avoid condensation on the surface, which can alter texture. Always check the packaging for specific storage instructions from the producer or brand.

Look for clear icons and certifications on product pages to help you shop confidently for yourself or as a gift.

If you’re shopping for someone with specific dietary needs, combine items like gourmet chocolates with vegan fudge, or select a gourmet sugar-free gift box that pairs well with birthdays, anniversaries, or corporate events.
