1. Dubble Bubble Bubble Gum

Something about bright pink bubbles and the popping sounds just transports me to summer. Maybe it’s their sweet flavor, or it’s the act of blowing the bubble itself, but bubble gum is the perfect summer treat. 

Mint gum reminds me more of winter and the cold breezes that come with it, but classic pink bubble gum reminds me of all the sweetness that summer offers. 

These delightful chewy pink squares are America’s Best Selling Bubble Gum for a reason, the pure joy it brings to people. So if you want some chewy pleasure or just a bit of sweet flavor, Dubble Bubble will be waiting for you all summer long.

2) Mini Blue Gummy Sharks 

There is something about the duo of summer and sharks that fit together, or, if you are at the beach, hopefully not. Maybe that combination just strikes a balance between being frightened and fascinated. 

 With this candy, you no longer have to fear being eaten by a shark; they have to worry about being eaten by you! 

Except this isn’t traditional shark meat, it’s sweet, chewy, and delicious shark meat. These delightful blue raspberry shark gummies will have you reach back in the bag for more and make you want to get to the beach as fast as possible.

3) Wax Bottles 

There is nothing better than a sweet bottled drink in the summer, so it’s safe to say that this candy is perfect and refreshing and has been for decades.

Wax candies first became popular in the 1950s and have lasted every summer since then, including wax bottle candies. 

With flavors including cherry, blue raspberry, lime, orange, and lemon, these juice-based candies certainly have tastes for just about everyone. 

Drinking that liquid candy out of the wax bottle is so special and unique. This candy is a great way to quench your thirst and tastebuds this summer!

4) Jolly Ranchers 

A primary challenge of eating candy during summer is the heat. The heat that is unforgiving about chocolate melting points or making hard candies squishy. 

Jolly Ranchers doesn’t care about this heat challenge because it is still perfectly great to eat when faced with sweltering temperatures. They also have all the summer flavors that one could ever desire. 

Simply unwrap them and pop them in your mouth to suck on, and you will experience Jolly Rancher’s magic. So if you are looking for candy to beat the heat, Jolly Ranchers are here for you! 

5) Sour Patch Kids 

There is something about sour patch kids that makes me bring out my inner child. Maybe it’s because they have “kid” in the name or because of all they stand for. The candy is also basically a two-in-one. 

“First they are sour, then they are sweet,” this popular slogan from their commercials and branding just flat out says it. Sour Patch Kids are both a sour candy, and a sweet candy rolled into one. Not to mention the flavor variety they have as well. 

You want citrus. They got it; if you want some berry flavors, they also have that. So if you’re going to have some fun in the sun or just want to get a sour kick in your summer, Sour Patch Kids will be there for you all summer. 

6) Lemon Drops 

Lemonade is a necessity for summer and withstanding the summer heat. It’s refreshing and flavorful, and it’s almost impossible to say “no” when it’s chilled. 

These lemon drops deliver with the candy version of lemonade, not to mention they are more portable. 

Their pucker power, sugary sweetness, and ever-so-refreshing flavor of lemon drops will sweep you away during the summertime. 

7) Juicy Drops

Juicy Drops contain both the properties of a liquid and hard candy, making them one of the best candies for summer. 

The Juicy Drop Pop gives you the sweetness of a classic summer lollipop and the sourness of a traditional sour summer candy with its acidic gel. 

This candy is perfect if you are a person who wants the best of both worlds with having candy that is both sour and sweet this summer. 

Each bag offers multiple flavors and a customizable sour-to-sweet ratio for any candy lover who wants to enjoy the summer heat and sweets this year. 

8) Haribo Berries

 One of my favorite flavors of summer is fresh juicy berries, berries that taste like sunshine.

 This candy brings that delicious flavor to a new level. From its crunchy outer shell to its soft, flavorful inside, these berries are just what you need to get in the summer spirit.

 Each bag contains red and black berries, so you always have multiple berry flavors. 

This candy checks all my boxes for a good summer candy: sweet juicy flavor (check), can withstand the summer warmth (check), and is an excellent candy to share with friends (check). 

9) Slush Puppy Candy

If you are looking for a cool summer slushy but know it’s just too hot for it to last, this candy is there for you!

 This gel candy tastes exactly like the real thing and has both of the classic flavors of Blue Raspberry and Cherry. There also is a spray version to check out with the same tastes, and it’s just as refreshing.

 Slush Puppies are a classic summer treat, and these candies are just a more accessible way to have this yummy treat, no matter the heat. 

10) Salt Water Taffy

Recently on vacation, I discovered salt water taffy. Let me tell you, it is incredible!

 There are endless flavor possibilities to choose from; they each are like trying a completely different type of candy. If you say you don’t like salt water taffy, I don’t think you have attempted enough because I am convinced there is a flavor for everyone. 

Salt water taffy was made for summer and hot days by the beach. To me, salt water taffy is the essence of summer with its flavor, texture, name, and especially where you can find it.

Suppose you like some fruity flavor or even a decadent chocolate action. In that case, you can find it all within the beautiful, versatile salt water taffy candy. 

Lucky for you all these candies can be found on CandyFavorites.com!
