Make Your Own Candy Mix

Saturday Candy – a Beloved Swedish Tradition

Saturday candy, or "lördagsgodis," is a cherished tradition in Sweden, where kids (and adults!) get to enjoy their favorite sweets every Saturday. The tradition started in the 1950s as a way to limit sugar consumption to one day a week, and it remains strong to this day.

A big part of the charm is getting to go to the store and hand-pick your own candy. With a little bag in hand, you can choose from sweet, sour, or salty treats – a true highlight of the week. Saturday candy isn't just a reward; it's a treasured ritual in Swedish weekend culture.
