Handcrafted in Reykjavík by Kandís
Six ingredients, natural colour
Hard candy — no melting worry

Description

A hard, glassy sweet flavoured with Icelandic rhubarb — rabarbari. It starts sour, the sugar comes in behind, and the two settle into the tart-sweet balance rhubarb people love. It dissolves slowly, so one piece lasts. Rhubarb was the first flavour Kandís made, and they say balancing sour and sweet was the hard part.

Kandís is a small Reykjavík maker founded in 2021 by two chefs, who handcraft hard candy from beet sugar, natural plant colours and Icelandic herbs.

100 g box. Sugar, glucose, water, citric acid, natural colouring, rhubarb flavouring — no allergens in the list. Hard candy, so it does not melt in the post.

Questions people ask before they buy

What does it taste like?

Rhubarb the way it grows in Icelandic gardens: sour on the tongue first, then the sugar catches up. It dissolves slowly, so one piece lasts. One customer who first had it from friends back from Iceland called it the best rhubarb they had ever eaten, and ordered a box of their own.

Is it really handmade?

Yes. Kandís boils, colours and shapes it by hand in Reykjavík — beet sugar, colours drawn from carrots, beetroot and flowers, oils and tinctures made from Icelandic herbs.

Does it contain allergens? Is it vegan?

The ingredient list is sugar, glucose, water, citric acid, natural colour and rhubarb flavouring — no milk, nuts, gluten or gelatine in it. Kandís does not print a vegan claim, so check the box if that matters to you.

Will it melt in summer?

No. It is boiled sugar, not chocolate, so it does not melt in transit. Keep the box closed and dry at home; damp air is the only thing hard candy minds.

Why rhubarb?

It was the first flavour Kandís made. Rhubarb has grown in Iceland since the nineteenth century and has been in Icelandic cooking ever since.

Will I pay duties or customs on delivery?

Not in the US or Canada — duties and taxes are settled at checkout, so nothing is owed at the door. For other destinations, any local import charges are collected by the courier on delivery.
