What are Bon Bons?

Bon bons are the classic chewy fruit-flavoured lolly wrapped in twisted cellophane — one of the longest-standing pick-and-mix staples in Australian candy culture. Each 120g bag holds 30-35 individually twist-wrapped pieces in a single intense flavour. The texture is firm-chewy (somewhere between a taffy and a fudge), with a concentrated fruit flavour burst that takes 30-60 seconds to chew through.

Classic uses: lolly bars at kids’ parties, wedding bomboniere, school canteen treats, pick-and-mix bowls, office conference buffets. The twist-wrapped format keeps each piece food-safe, stackable, and easy to portion out — which is why bon bons have survived every candy trend since the 1960s.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where to buy bon bons in bulk in Australia?
SweetsWorld stocks Kingsway 3kg bulk bon bons (Bubblegum and Blue Raspberry, both gluten-free) plus 8 flavours at 120g retail size. Ships same-day from our Newcastle warehouse Australia-wide. For 10kg+ wholesale orders contact us for pricing.
Which bon bon flavours are gluten free?
The Strawberry 120g retail bag and both Kingsway 3kg bulk bags (Bubblegum and Blue Raspberry) are explicitly labelled gluten free. The other 120g retail flavours are not certified gluten free — always check the individual product pack label if you have coeliac disease.
How many bon bons are in a 120g retail bag?
A typical 120g bon bon bag contains 30-35 individually twist-wrapped pieces (roughly 3.5-4 grams each). This makes them ideal for pick-and-mix where each piece is a single serving. For party portioning, 3-5 pieces per child per treat bag is the standard ratio.
How many bon bons in a Kingsway 3kg bag?
Kingsway 3kg bulk bags hold approximately 700-800 individually-wrapped pieces. For wedding bomboniere at 10 pieces per guest that’s 70-80 guests; for lolly bar pick-and-mix you’re looking at 30+ kids worth at generous portions.
Are bon bons suitable for young children?
Bon bons are recommended for ages 4+ due to the chewy texture — smaller children risk choking on candy this firm. Supervise young children while eating. Not suitable for anyone with braces (the chewiness can dislodge brackets).
How long do bon bons stay fresh?
Unopened, twist-wrapped bon bons last 12-18 months from manufacture date in a cool, dry place (below 22°C). The individual wrappers protect each piece from moisture, so even once the outer bag is opened they stay fresh for 3-6 months. Store out of direct sunlight.
Can bon bons melt in Australian summer?
Bon bons are sugar-based not chocolate-based, so they resist melting much better than chocolate lollies. They can get soft and sticky above 30°C (the twist wrappers start sticking to the lolly) but don’t truly melt. Still recommend cool-storage in QLD summer and Express shipping during January-February heatwaves.
What’s the difference between Bon Bons and Fruit Chews?
Bon bons are firmer, denser, and individually twist-wrapped — more of a long-chew experience (30-60 seconds per piece). Fruit chews (like Starburst or Chupa Chups Chews) tend to be softer, smaller, and sometimes unwrapped or in ‘stick’ format. Bon bons are better for portion control because each piece is wrapped separately.
