Barnetts Candy: Not Your Average Sour Candy

If you think you’ve tried sour, think again. Barnetts Candy brings you the original mouth-puckering lollies that have earned a loyal following across the globe. These aren’t your everyday sour sweets—they’re made in the UK with bold flavours, old-school techniques and a sour hit that lingers longer than most. From the first bite, you’ll know you’re in for something strong, sharp and genuinely different.

Whether you’re filling lolly jars, gifting something unexpected or stocking up for your store, Barnetts sour balls are the kind of treat people talk about long after the wrapper’s gone.

The Story Behind Barnetts Lollies

Handcrafted in Nottingham, England, Barnetts has been making hard-boiled sweets for over a century. Their sour candy range is a true standout, boiled in copper pans for flavour depth. Finished with a signature sour coating that sets them apart. It’s a traditional sweet-making process paired with seriously bold taste.

The best part? These lollies don’t just taste sour—they stay sour. Perfect for anyone who likes a bit of a challenge with their treats.

Why Barnetts Are Worth the Try

Their sour lollies are a standout not just because of their intense tang, but because they’re built on proper confectionery mastery. That means consistent quality, long-lasting flavour and a product that’s earned its reputation the old-fashioned way.

At Candy Co, we stock a wide variety of Barnetts candy so lolly lovers across New Zealand can enjoy the same iconic flavours that sweet shops in the UK have offered for generations. It’s heritage candy, with a twist.
