Welcome to Behind the Mix — Your Backstage Pass to Swedish Candy

You’ve found the sweet spot. 🍬
Here at Ozzie and the Danes, candy isn’t just something you eat — it’s something you experience. The colors, the flavors, the little moment of joy you get when you open the bag… we live for that. And now, with Behind the Mix, we’re pulling back the wrapper and letting you in on the fun.

Why We’re Starting This Blog

We get a lot of sweet questions from you:

• How do you choose which candies make it into your mixes?

• What’s the most popular candy in Sweden?

• What exactly is salty licorice and why do Swedes love it so much?

Instead of keeping those answers in our inbox, we’re putting them here for everyone to enjoy. Think of this as your candy library, taste test diary, and behind-the-scenes tour all rolled into one.

What You’ll Find Here

• New Drops – Be the first to know about fresh arrivals and limited editions.

• Behind the Scenes – A peek into our candy kitchen, from unboxing shipments from Sweden to late-night taste testing.

• Candy Culture – Stories, traditions, and quirky facts about Swedish sweets.

• Mixology – How we balance sweet, sour, fruity, and fizzy in every bag.

• Tips & Treats – Creative ways to gift, store, and pair your candy.

A Little About Us

Ozzie and the Danes started with a craving and a suitcase full of Swedish candy. What we found back home in the U.S. just didn’t compare — so we decided to share the real thing. Today, we’re bringing you authentic, fresh Swedish candy without the plane ticket.

Our promise?

• Always real Swedish candy

• Always fresh

• Always a little playful
