Wine? Lovely. A cheese board? Classy. But you know what steals the show at summer BBQs, reality TV nights, and family get-togethers?

A glorious, overflowing bucket of sweets. That’s right—scooping, munching, sharing (or not sharing) pure joy. And with Monmore’s “Build Your Own Sweet Mix” buckets, you’re not just snacking—you’re making a statement. One scoop at a time.

Step One: Pick your bucket

This isn’t Tupperware territory. We’re talking high-grade, clear-sided glory buckets that show off your sweet mix like it's jewellery in a shop window.

• 2.5lt Clear Round Bucket – When one litre simply won’t do. Perfect for parties, sharing tables, or full-throttle sweet fans who don’t want to run out.
• 1lt Clear Square Bucket – Compact, portable, and tidy. Ideal for kids’ party favours, TV snack buckets, or surprise treats in the car.

Both come with secure lids to keep your mix fresh, safe, and ready to wow.

Step Two: Choose your base mix

Your bucket, your rules. You can keep it classic or make it completely bonkers—it’s entirely up to you. But a strong base mix gives you volume, colour, and variety. We recommend starting with a bulk bag from our 1kg Sweets range. It’s the pick n mix foundation that dreams are built on.

Step Three: Get brand happy

This is where it gets exciting. Mix and match from the best bulk sweet brands in the business to create your perfect combo:

• Candycrave – Packed with playful options like Vegan Tongue Painters and fizzy brushes. Ideal for party vibes and TikTok-worthy colour.
• Haribo – The classics never fail. Think Gold Bears, Tangfastics, and Cola Bottles. Everyone’s favourite chewy icons.
• Vidal – For tropical frogs, fizzy cola bottles, rainbow pencils, and everything that makes your tongue do a happy little dance.
• King Regal – Spanish flair with fondant-filled pencils and fruity whips. An essential for soft chew fans who like their sweets with personality.
• Sweetzone – Sweetzone’s range is legendary. Vegan-friendly, colourful, and perfect for stuffing your bucket full of fizzy joy.

Mix textures. Mix flavours. Mix colours. Because building your own sweet mix is like DJing with sugar—you want variety, balance, and a few unexpected bangers thrown in for fun.

Step Four: Match the moment

Still not sure what to build? Here are some Monmore-certified suggestions:

• For a Kids Party: Go heavy on fizzy bottles, rainbow pencils, jelly shapes, and a splash of sour. Think colour, chew, and fun with every bite.
• For a Girls’ Night In: Creamy fondant pencils, hearts, strawberries, and soft gums. Add a bottle of Prosecco and let the gossip begin.
• For a Summer BBQ: Fizzy cola bottles, watermelon slices, sour apples, and frogs. Refreshing, fun, and absolutely moreish.
• For Love Island Watch Parties: You’ll need drama, fizz, and flair. Think King Regal whips, Candycrave dummies, and anything that stains your tongue and makes you laugh mid-recap.
• For On-the-Go Sweet Warriors: Keep it neat with a 1lt bucket filled with chewy classics and sugar-coated bullets. Perfect for car journeys, park picnics, or that awkward second cousin’s wedding.

Step Five: Snap the lid and make your entrance

Turn up to any event holding a clear bucket brimming with the sweets you love and watch the room change. People talk. People crowd around. Someone will say, “Where did you get that?” and you get to say, “I made it.”

Be the guest everyone remembers. Be the friend who brings sweets, not salad. Be the one who thought ahead. And best of all—bring home whatever’s left (if there’s any left at all).

Ready to build your mix?

At Monmore, we’ve made it easy: the buckets, the sweets, the joy—all in one place. Pick your bucket. Fill it your way. Then go be a legend at your next family night, picnic, party, or binge-watch marathon.

Because some people bring bottles. But you? You bring sweets.
