In celebration of Pippi Longstocking's 80th birthday, BonBon Swedish Candy Co. launched Pippi's Gold Coins, a snack that shares the bright, fruity flavors of pineapple and apricot with an electrifying sour kick reminiscent of the character's bold personality. These chewy, sweet and tangy candies are vegan-friendly, gelatin-free and coin-shaped, and the product of Sweden promises to delight nostalgic adults and introduce a new generation to Pippi's kindness, mischeviousness and adventurous legacy.
These limited-ediiton candies can be found at all BonBon locations, online, as well as through BonBon's TikTok Shop, and at select retailers. Additionally, exclusive Pippi Longstocking wigs and Astrid Lindgren's beloved books will be available at all BonBon stores and online. A portion of the proceeds from BonBon's sales of Pippi books and candy will be donated to the World Childhood Foundation USA.
