Jelly Snakes
Jelly Snakes are proof that sometimes, the most absurd ideas make the best sweets. Long, wiggly, unapologetically colourful—these fruit-flavoured gummies have slithered their way into Britain’s sweet jars, birthday cones and school tuck shops for good reason. And when you’re stocking in bulk, it’s hard to ignore the popularity of a product that practically sells itself.
At Monmore Confectionery—the UK’s largest sweet wholesaler—we’ve seen jelly snakes go from novelty to necessity. Loved by kids, picked up by nostalgic grown-ups, and endlessly entertaining on TikTok, these chewy reptiles are more than a treat—they’re a retail workhorse. Especially when bundled in smart formats like 1kg sweets bags designed for resale, gifting, or just satisfying the serious snackers among us.
Why Do Jelly Snakes Sell So Well?
Because they’re fun. And in confectionery, fun equals conversion. Retail buyers love them because:
- They’re bright, bendy and bold—perfect for visual merchandising
- They’re portionable—ideal for sweet cone fillers or birthday sweet bags
- They have year-round appeal—no seasonal dependencies
- They show up brilliantly in social media content—especially in rainbow candy mix videos
But above all, they’re just delicious. Soft chew, slightly elastic texture, and flavours that actually taste like fruit rather than factory air. From strawberry and blackcurrant to lemon and apple—there’s variety in every metre of gummy goodness.
Smart Packaging = Smart Profit
Monmore’s 1kg Jelly Snakes are engineered with retail flow in mind. The weight works for sweet tubs and assorted sweets 1kg bags, and the snakes themselves are long enough to add visual impact without wasting packaging space. Ideal for:
- Sweet Jar Refills in corner shops and cafés
- Gift Box Sweets as a colourful centrepiece
- Mega Sweet Bags for events, giveaways and fundraisers
- Treat Yourself Packs—yes, adults eat these too
Did You Know?
Gummy sweets date back to the 1920s, but jelly snakes are a relatively modern twist—likely born from the same logic that gave us jelly spiders and foam bananas: if it’s weird and chewy, people will buy it. In fact, the UK now eats more than 60 million metres of jelly snakes a year—that’s enough to wrap around the M25 hundreds of times (not that we’re suggesting it).
Why Buyers Trust Monmore
With decades in the trade, Monmore Confectionery understands that sweet success isn’t just about flavour—it’s about format, volume, and trust. We supply sweets that move—both literally (in bags) and commercially (off shelves). Our jelly snakes are packaged for resale, stocked year-round, and made to deliver consistent chewiness and flavour in every bite.
Retailers choose us because we get it. Parents trust us because we’re consistent. And let’s be honest—if you’re going to put a wiggly sweet in your mouth, it better be a good one.
