What Halloween pick and mix is and why it matters

A pick and mix is a self selected assortment of confectionery. Instead of buying pre packed bags, you choose exactly what you want. At Tom’s, this includes gummies, sour lolly, chocolate lollies, marshmallows, licorice, popcorn, pretzel snacks and imported confection.

Tom’s Confectionery Warehouse holds the Guinness World Record for variety in a Pick & Mix, with more than 947 different types of lollies available. This huge variety gives Halloween shoppers plenty of options to create a personalised spooky selection.

During Halloween, pick and mix becomes even more fun thanks to themed shapes like:

• Eyeball gummies
• Spider gummies
• Bones and sour bones gummies
• Ear and teeth
• Skeleton gummies

Themed colours such as orange and black, green and purple or lolly corn tones help create a spooky atmosphere for any Halloween party.

Pick and mix matters because it offers flexibility, creativity and variety. It is ideal for Halloween recipes, Halloween treats, kids Halloween parties and haunted house events.
