Ahlgrens Bilar – Sweden’s Most Sold Candy Car Since 1953

Ahlgrens Bilar are soft and chewy foam candies shaped like small cars. They are a true icon in the world of Swedish candy. First created in 1953 at Ahlgren’s candy factory in Gävle, these pastel colored treats were originally meant to be marshmallows. But the shape, taste and texture were such a success that the recipe was never changed. The result was Sweden’s most loved and most sold car.

A Classic with a Unique Taste and Feel

The original version comes in white, green and pink. The texture is light and airy, somewhere between a marshmallow and a gummy. The flavor is mild and fruity, easy to enjoy and hard to stop eating. New versions have been introduced over the years, but the original cars still bring back memories for many.
