Sweets and Snacks Kids Actually Ask For

Children are honest food critics. They do not care how traditional a sweet is; they care whether it is fun to eat. After years of watching families shop, here is what younger customers keep coming back for.

Soft and milky sweets

Syrupy, spongy sweets are always a hit. Rasagulla (white) and Gulab jam are easy to eat and not too rich. Ice cream barfi looks and tastes like a treat from a party, and Kajju burfi is mild and smooth.

Bite-sized and colourful

Small pieces suit small hands. Boondi laddu can be broken into bits, and Mamidithandra, sun-dried mango sheet, is chewy, fruity and fun to tear into strips.

Mild namkeen for the lunch box

Most of our namkeen is Andhra-spicy, so for children we suggest the gentler ones. Corn flakes mixture is light and crisp. Biscuit mixture has small savoury biscuits that children love to pick out. Cashew fry is a simple, salty favourite.

A word on portions

Sweets are treats, so a small piece after a meal is plenty. Buying smaller packs more often keeps everything fresh and helps with portion control.

For birthday parties

For a children's party, a mix of one soft sweet, one bite-sized sweet and one mild namkeen covers everyone. If you are feeding a whole class, our bulk page has larger packs at better rates.
