Fizzy Sweets in Singapore: Sherbet Dips, Flying Saucers and Fizzy Candy (2026)

There is a special kind of joy in a sweet that fights back. You tip the powder onto your tongue, it crackles, tingles and foams, and suddenly you are eight years old again at the school tuck shop. If you have been hunting for fizzy sweets in Singapore, from sherbet dips and Flying Saucers to fizzy candy belts and lick-and-dip lollies, this guide is for you. We explain what actually makes sherbet fizz, the different styles of fizzy candy, how to pick the right one for party bags or Christmas stockings, and the fizzy favourites flying off our shelves right now. Everything below is in stock at The Candy Store, with islandwide delivery across Singapore. Unwrap the Fun.

What Makes Sherbet Fizz?

That tingle is a tiny bit of kitchen chemistry happening in your mouth. Sherbet powder is usually a mix of sugar, a food acid (most often citric, malic or tartaric acid) and sodium bicarbonate, the same baking soda you might have in your cupboard. While the powder is dry, nothing happens. The moment it touches your tongue, saliva dissolves the acid and the bicarbonate, they react, and they release little bubbles of carbon dioxide. That is the fizz you feel.

The acid also brings the sourness, which is why so many fizzy sweets taste sharp as well as bubbly. Makers can turn the dial either way: more bicarbonate gives a foamier, softer fizz, while more acid gives a sharper, more sour hit. If you love that side of things, our sour candy scale guide ranks our sourest picks from gentle to face-melting.

One practical tip for Singapore: because sherbet starts reacting as soon as it meets moisture, our humid air is its enemy. Keep packs sealed until you are ready to eat them, and store them somewhere cool and dry, or you may find the powder has clumped and lost some of its sparkle.

A Quick History of Sherbet Sweets

The word "sherbet" comes from the Middle East, where sharbat was a chilled, sweetened fruit drink. As the idea travelled to Europe, sherbet powders became a way to make a fizzy drink at home by stirring powder into water. British sweet shops then started selling the powder on its own, to be eaten with a lolly or a stick of liquorice, and a whole family of sweets was born.

That is why so many of the classics on this list are British. Flying Saucers, sherbet lollies and fizzy tablet rolls are all old sweet shop staples, and they still sit next to each other in the pocket-money aisle today. You will find plenty more of them in our Proper British Sweets collection and in our guide to British sweets in Singapore.

The Retro Fizzy Classics

Start here if you want the real old-school sweet shop experience. These are the fizzy sweets parents recognise instantly and kids discover with wide eyes.

Bonds Flying Saucers Treat Bags

Two light, crispy wafer shells pressed together around a pocket of tangy sherbet. The wafer melts on your tongue and the sherbet bursts out in a fizzy rush, which is half the fun. Small treat bags make them easy to share. Tagged halal-friendly and vegan on our store.

Barratt Refreshers Roll Fruity Fizzy Retro Sweets

A roll of pressed tablet sweets in raspberry, lemon, orange and lime, each one fizzing gently as it dissolves. Pressed tablets carry the sherbet inside the sweet itself, so the tingle lasts the whole way through. A great pocket sweet for long MRT rides. Tagged Halal on our store.

Lik-M-Aid Fun Dip, 12g

The American cousin of the sherbet dip. Lick the candy stick, dunk it into the fruity powder, repeat, then crunch the stick at the end. It is simple, a little messy and very satisfying. Tagged halal-friendly and vegan on our store.

Dip, Lick and Dunk: Interactive Fizzy Candy

Dip-style sweets take the classic sherbet-and-lolly idea and turn it into a game. You control how much powder you get on each lick, so kids can go gentle and sour fans can go all in. These are our most requested picks for birthday party bags.

Crazy Candy Factory Big Dipper

A fruity lollipop paired with tangy sherbet powder in fun flavour combos such as Blue Raspberry and Watermelon, or Strawberry and Blue Razz. Dip, lick and mix flavours however you like. One of our biggest movers for kids' parties.

Crazy Candy Factory Double Duo Dunker, 32g

Double everything: two fruit lollipops and two sour sherbet powders in one pack, so you can mix and match four ways. It is a great one for siblings who never want the same flavour. Tagged halal-friendly on our store.

Crazy Candy Factory Dummy Dipper Ring

A ring-shaped fruit lolly with a tangy sherbet dip on the side. Kids can wear it, lick it and dunk it, which keeps little hands busy at parties. Tagged halal-friendly and vegan on our store.

Fizzy Candy With a Twist

Not every fizzy sweet is a powder. Some brands coat chewy candy in fizzy sugar or pack sherbet into playful novelty shapes.

Fini Roller Fizz Strawberry Flavour, 20g

An extra-long strawberry candy belt rolled up and coated in sparkling, tangy sugar. Unroll it, tear off a strip, and enjoy the sweet-then-fizzy finish. One of our best sellers and a brilliant low-cost party bag filler. Tagged Halal on our store.

Crazy Candy Factory Candy Cans

Fruity sherbet powder packed into mini novelty cans in Strawberry, Cherry and Blue Raspberry. They look like tiny soda cans, which makes them a fun surprise in a stocking or a goodie bag. Tagged halal-friendly and vegan on our store.

Want more? The Crazy Candy Factory Sour n Pop Straws mix fruity sherbet beads with strawberry sherbet powder, and you will find plenty more dip-and-lick lollies in our Lollipops and Lick-Ems collection.

How to Choose the Right Fizzy Sweets

• For party bags: mix one interactive dip (like the Big Dipper or Dummy Dipper Ring) with a couple of small fizzy fillers such as Fini Roller Fizz or Flying Saucers. Kids get a "wow" item plus a little variety.
• For Christmas stockings: novelty formats like the Candy Cans and Double Duo Dunker fit neatly into a stocking. Browse our Christmas Sweets and Gifts collection for more stocking fillers.
• For nostalgic grown-ups: Flying Saucers and Barratt Refreshers are the ones that spark the "I used to buy these after school" stories.
• For sour fans: pick the dip-style sweets, where you can pile on as much sherbet as you dare.
• For younger kids: supervise with powders, which can make little ones cough if they inhale while eating, and with hard lollies, which can be a choking risk.

Halal and Vegan Fizzy Sweets

Sherbet powders and pressed tablets are usually made without gelatin, so a lot of fizzy candy suits plant-based diets, though it is always worth checking. On our store, Barratt Refreshers and Fini Roller Fizz Strawberry are tagged Halal. Bonds Flying Saucers, Lik-M-Aid Fun Dip, the Crazy Candy Factory Candy Cans and the Dummy Dipper Ring are tagged halal-friendly and vegan, and the Double Duo Dunker is tagged halal-friendly. Browse our Halal and Halal Friendly and Vegan collections for more options. If you have a strict dietary requirement or allergy, always check the product page and packaging before buying, as recipes can change.
