What are Nerds candies? They are colorful, tiny fruity bits you can eat “handful after handful” or mix and match however you like. Thanks to that playfulness and crunchy texture, Nerds have become a symbol of American candy — perfect for sharing, birthdays, and quick “sweet & fun” moments. If you want to try the classic duo right away, grab Watermelon & Cherry.
Who makes Nerds? Today the brand is developed and produced by Ferrara Candy Company (part of the Ferrero group), so alongside the iconic little boxes, new creative editions keep coming. In our Nerds collection you’ll often find modern favorites like Gummy Clusters — a soft gummy center coated with crunchy Nerds pieces — and the fun Rope Rainbow in a rope format.
Why Nerds are so loved
The mix of colors, textures, and fruity profiles appeals to both nostalgic fans and new generations. The “mix & match” approach lets you create your own perfect bite, while the viral Gummy Clusters have further boosted the brand’s popularity. If you enjoy that “chewy + crunchy” contrast, check out other American sweets — for example Sour Patch Kids for a tangy twist.
How to choose and pair them
First time? Start with Watermelon & Cherry — two chambers, two flavors, one box. Want a “pop-and-eat” snack without the mess? Grab Gummy Clusters. For a party table, the colorful Rope Rainbow is perfect. You can nicely balance the sweetness with drinks from our American drinks — fruity sodas and lemonades work especially well with Nerds combos.
A short brand story — quick and simple
Nerds come from the USA and have been a steady star on shelves since the 1980s: small, vibrant, and surprisingly addictive. Today, under Ferrara (Ferrero), the brand mixes classic flavors with new formats, so in our Nerds selection you’ll often find seasonal series and limited editions. To expand the experience, pair them with chocolate favorites from the Reese’s collection or with a refreshing drink from American drinks.
