Best German Candy

Last Updated: Oct 19, 2021 @ 11:19 am.

What's the best German candy? We ordered in 7 brands of candy from Germany and did a blind taste test! Yes, Germany is famous for its chocolate . . . but we found several other fun treats. Here are the ones we'd recommend.

FYI: We've been reviewing and rating products for the home and families since 1994. To keep things independent, we don't take money or freebies from brands we review! Our work is 100% reader-supported!


The Best German Candy: Our Taste Test Winners!

Sure, Belgium and Switzerland may be more famous for their chocolate, but you can’t count out Germany when it comes to the best candy. 

Gummy bears from Heribo are super popular in Germany and they made our list of the best German candies. Yes, they taste a bit different than gummy bears often sold in North America (which are less chewy) . . . but we loved them.

And we loved the quirky packaging of German candy—including this top pick . . . yes, they are called Chocolate Cat Tongues! Here are the details and the rest of our top picks for German candy:
