World's largest Pick & Mix

Choosing your favourite lollies is part of the magic. Instead of buying a pre-packed bag with a fixed selection, Pick & Mix allows you to create a personalised mix filled with the flavours, textures and treats you love.

At Tom's Confectionery, we've transformed this much-loved tradition into one of Australia's most exciting confectionery experiences. As a proudly Australian candy company and candy store, we offer more than 1,000 confectionery products, including classic favourites, international candies, gourmet treats and unique sweets from around the world.

With Pick & Mix stores in Brisbane and Melbourne, as well as an online Pick & Mix service available across Australia, customers can discover an incredible variety of gummy candy, chocolate candy, sour candy, chewy candy and nostalgic favourites all in one place.

Whether you're searching for childhood classics, imported candy brands, colourful treats or something completely new, Tom's Confectionery makes it easy to create your perfect mix.

What is Pick & Mix?

Pick & Mix (also known as Pick 'n' Mix or Pick and Mix) is a fun and interactive way to buy confectionery. Instead of choosing a ready-made bag, customers select individual lollies and combine them into their own personalised assortment.

The concept is simple: choose your favourites, try something new and create a mix that reflects your own tastes.

Love fruity flavours? Choose strawberry, raspberry, watermelon or peach-inspired sweets. Prefer something sour? Discover sour candies, sour gummies and tangy favourites. Looking for something classic? Pick from timeless treats like jelly beans, gummies and hard candy.

Every Pick & Mix bag tells a different story because every customer creates something unique.

The history of Pick & Mix

While sweets have been enjoyed for centuries, the modern Pick & Mix experience became especially popular in the United Kingdom during the twentieth century. Traditional sweet shops introduced self-service displays where customers could choose individual treats, fill a bag and pay by weight.

This simple idea changed the way people enjoyed confectionery. Instead of purchasing the same assortment every time, customers could experiment with different flavours, textures and combinations.

Over the years, Pick & Mix became a favourite in candy shops, cinemas and confectionery stores around the world. It created a unique shopping experience that combines discovery, nostalgia and personal choice.

Today, Tom's Confectionery brings this iconic tradition to Australia with a huge selection of local favourites, imported sweets and unique international treats.
