Try our Pick N Mix, a great range of options are available.
Blue sweets have had a serious glow up.
There was a time when strawberry and cola were the first flavours people reached for in a Pick n Mix. Not anymore.
Blue raspberry has gone from being something a bit different to one of the biggest flavours in confectionery. Walk into any sweet shop today and you'll usually find people spending longer in front of the blue sweets than any other section.
After watching thousands of Pick n Mix bags being built, we've got our favourites.
You might agree with every choice. You might think we've got one completely wrong.
Either way, you'll probably end up adding a few blue sweets to your next order.

1. Blue Raspberry Rings
This was the easiest decision on the list.
If someone asked us to recommend one blue sweet without knowing anything else they liked, we'd hand them Blue Raspberry Rings.
They've become one of those sweets that almost everyone is happy to see in a Pick n Mix. They're not the newest sweet around and they don't rely on being over the top. They're just consistently good.
You can usually tell how popular they are by looking at the tub.
It rarely looks full for long.
2. Bubblegum Millions
Some sweets have changed beyond recognition over the years.
Blue Millions haven't.
That's probably why people still love them.
They're one of the few sweets customers regularly buy in more than one flavour. Bubblegum goes into the basket, then Blue Raspberry catches their eye, then someone remembers they quite fancy the Vimto ones as well.
It happens every day.
3. Fizzy Bubblegum Bottles
There are plenty of bottle-shaped sweets.
These are the ones we'd miss if they disappeared.
The bubblegum flavour is spot on and the fizzy coating gives them just enough sharpness without becoming the sort of sweet that makes your eyes water.
They're usually recommended by someone who says, "Have you tried these before?"
4. BUBS Bubblegum Skulls
BUBS didn't become one of the biggest names in Pick n Mix by accident.
The Bubblegum Skulls are a good example of why they've become so popular.
The texture is different to traditional gummies, which is usually the first thing people notice. After that, it's the flavour that brings them back.
Some sweets become popular because they're new.
These have stayed popular because people keep buying them again.
5. Fizzy Blue Tongues
Children love these.
Adults pretend they're buying them for children.
The blue tongue afterwards has become part of the experience. We've seen plenty of people check their reflection after eating one, usually because somebody else has started laughing.
If you're putting together sweets for a birthday party, these are always worth considering.
6. Blue Raspberry Watermelon Slices
This is one of those combinations that works much better than it sounds.
The watermelon takes the edge off the blue raspberry without losing what makes it popular in the first place.
They've quietly built a loyal following over the last few years and it's easy to understand why once you've tried them.
7. Blue Raspberry Bon Bons
Bon Bons never seem to go out of fashion.
They don't attract the same attention as giant cables or fizzy bottles, but they don't need to.
Every now and then we'll see an order that's full of modern sweets with a bag of blue Bon Bons tucked in alongside them.
Some favourites don't need updating.
8. Blue Raspberry Rocketz
Rocketz tend to divide opinion.
Some people add them to every order.
Others have never tried them.
If you fall into the second group, we'd change that. They're chewy, packed with flavour and deserve far more attention than they usually get.
9. Baby Dolphins
Baby Dolphins have been part of Pick n Mix for years.
They're one of those sweets that quietly stick around while trends come and go.
Children usually spot them because of the shape.
Adults often choose them because they remember buying them years ago.
10. Blue Raspberry Stars
Being tenth on this list doesn't make these an afterthought.
They're one of those sweets people often discover by chance. They weren't looking for stars, they were looking for blue sweets.
Sometimes that's how you find a new favourite.
A Few More Worth Trying
There were a few that almost made the cut.
Blue Dreams are well worth a look if you've never tried them.
Sour Blue Raspberry Skulls are a good choice if you like something a little sharper.
Blue Raspberry Mushrooms, Blue Twist Kiss and Fizzy Bubblegum Dolphins all have plenty of fans too.
That's the thing about Pick n Mix.
Ask ten people to rank their favourites and you'll probably get ten different answers.
The Sweetiz Verdict
Blue sweets have earned their place.
They've gone from filling the gaps in a Pick n Mix to becoming the reason many people stop at the blue section first.
If you're building a bag from scratch, we'd always start with Blue Raspberry Rings.
After that, don't overthink it.
One of the best things about Pick n Mix is trying something you wouldn't normally choose. Sometimes it ends up being the sweet you look for first next time.
