Our Sweet Story

A Taste of New Zealand, Wherever You Are

There’s a special kind of magic in the taste of home. It’s the flavour that instantly transports you back to childhood summers, road trips with family, and Friday nights at the movies. For New Zealanders, that magic is often found in the chewy burst of a Pineapple Lump, the satisfying snap of a Whittaker’s block, or the fizzy delight of an L&P.

Kiwi Kandy was born from a simple craving for that very magic.

Like many Kiwis living and travelling overseas, we found ourselves searching for those familiar comforts in foreign supermarket aisles, only to be disappointed. We realised that the world was missing out on the unique, delicious, and sometimes quirky treats that we grew up with. A care package from home was always a highlight, but we thought, “Why should it be so hard to get your hands on a Peanut Slab or a bag of Pineapple Lumps?”

That thought sparked a bigger idea: to create a place where anyone, anywhere in the world, could easily access the best of New Zealand’s confectionery. We wanted to build more than just a candy store; we wanted to build a bridge back home.
