What is Old Dutch candy?
Traditional Dutch candy is actually candy from the Netherlands, which we all know. Popular flavors of these treats include licorice, cinnamon, licorice, salmiak, and vanilla. We offer them in many different shapes: hard, soft, and always delicious. Many countries are completely unfamiliar with our Dutch candy, which makes our candy selection even more unique than it already was!
The candy of the past
Remember those old Dutch candy treats you loved as a child? We have them all! How delicious and fun is it to step back in time and enjoy the same candy from decades ago? Candy from the past is also a great gift for children who might not be so familiar with it. Chances are they'll love it too!
All our traditional Dutch sweets are also available as scoopable candies. So, through Candy Festival, you can even mix Dutch sweets with other types of candies. What combinations will you choose? Check out our selection of scoopable candies if you're looking to combine different flavors.
Discover the wide range of traditional Dutch delicacies
We have the following delicacies that fall under the heading of Old Dutch sweets:
- Licorice and sweetwood. These are real Dutch flavors that we all know. We have sweet licorice, salty licorice, soft and hard. We have licorice laces, licorice balls, and even licorice marshmallows. And of course, traditional Dutch ' stretch licorice'! Completely back in our assortment, although we call it "stretch licorice". How do you like your licorice best?
- Wine balls/liquorice balls. These large, hard candy balls are truly Dutch. Because you have to lick them, you can enjoy them for ages! Nowhere else in the world is this delicious concept known, and that's probably a good thing, because that way there's more left for us!
- Sweet cinnamon candies. Cinnamon is also a truly Dutch flavor. Discover our cinnamon pillows or cinnamon sticks that deliver a deliciously sweet flavor.
- Salmiak candies and lollipops. Salmiak is a truly Dutch flavor that takes you right back in time. We have this unique flavor in all kinds of varieties, such as lollipops (the salmiak clubs), but also hard balls, incorporated into licorice, and even in jars of powder.

Frequently Asked Questions about Old Dutch Candy
Which types of traditional Dutch sweets are popular?
The most popular types of traditional Dutch candy include licorice, cinnamon cushions, butterscotch candies, chewy licorice, meringues, and salmiak pastilles. These classics have been around for decades and are still made according to authentic recipes. The recognizable flavors, in particular—ranging from fresh and spicy to creamy and sweet—create a nostalgic feeling for young and old alike.
How do I store old Dutch candy?
Traditional Dutch candy stays fresh the longest if stored in a cool, dry, and airtight place, for example in a tightly sealable jar or tin. Avoid direct sunlight and damp areas, as this can cause the candies to stick together or lose their flavor. Sugary candy often remains edible for months at room temperature, provided it is properly sealed.
Why is traditional Dutch candy fun as a birthday or treat?
Traditional Dutch candy is perfect as a birthday treat because it evokes recognition and a sense of coziness. It takes people back to their childhood and sparks fun conversations about 'the good old days'. Moreover, the candies are colorful, individually wrapped, and easy to share, making them ideal for parties, school treats, or as a thank-you gift with a present.
What makes traditional Dutch candy different from regular candy?
Old Dutch candy distinguishes itself through its traditional recipes, pure ingredients, and recognizable flavors. While modern candy often focuses on bright colors and new trends, Old Dutch candy is all about craftsmanship and simplicity. The flavors, such as licorice, cinnamon, anise, or butter caramel, have an authentic character that you won't easily find in contemporary candies.
What is the oldest candy in the Netherlands?
The oldest candy in the Netherlands is often attributed to licorice and butterscotch candies. Licorice was already used as a delicacy in the Middle Ages, while butterscotch candies became known in Zeeland in the 19th century. Both types of candy form the basis of our Dutch candy tradition and are still made traditionally according to original recipes.
Are there also vegan options for traditional Dutch sweets?
Yes, more and more vegan versions of traditional Dutch candy are becoming available. Think of fruity sour candies, cinnamon cushions, and some types of licorice that are made without animal gelatin or beeswax. At Candy Festival, you can check the product description to see if a candy is completely plant-based, so that vegan candy fans can also responsibly enjoy these nostalgic treats.
Can I send old Dutch candy as a gift?
Absolutely! Traditional Dutch candy is an original and cheerful gift that appeals to young and old alike.
At Candy Festival, you can easily create an assortment and have it delivered to the recipient. Add a personalized card or festive packaging, and you have the perfect gift for birthdays, anniversaries, or just to surprise someone.
