Haldiram’s has unveiled two new seasonal sweets for summer 2026, introducing Mango Marzipan and Pistachio Modak Marzipan to its UK confectionery range.
The launch comes as UK consumers increasingly seek fruity, globally inspired flavours and premium dessert experiences, with mango and pistachio emerging as standout flavour trends across confectionery and snacking.
The new products have been developed for sharing, gifting and summer entertaining, combining traditional Indian sweet-making influences with contemporary flavour profiles. Mango Marzipan is a gluten-free almond marzipan sweet with a mango centre, blending rich marzipan with bright tropical notes designed for summer occasions and celebrations.
Pistachio Modak Marzipan reimagines the traditional modak shape through a modern confectionery approach. The gluten-free sweet combines pistachio flavour with artisanal textures aimed at consumers seeking indulgent, premium-style desserts. Rhea Agarwal, Head of Business Development UK & EU at Haldiram’s, said: “We’re seeing strong momentum behind tropical and pistachio flavours across confectionery, desserts and snacking. Mango brings a fresh and vibrant flavour profile for summer, while pistachio continues to resonate with consumers looking for indulgent and premium experiences. These launches reflect how traditional sweets can evolve through contemporary flavours and formats.”
Pistachio in particular continues to gain traction within premium confectionery, fuelled by growing consumer interest in globally inspired desserts and trends such as Dubai-style chocolate products. And mango has featured in major launches across the cakes and biscuits category recently, too.
The new sweets are part of Haldiram’s broader focus on modernising traditional confectionery formats for contemporary UK consumers while retaining authentic flavour influences.
