About Us
Dollar Sweets has many years’ experience working closely with large industrial businesses in the baking,
confectionery and ice cream industries to specifically tailor ingredient solutions.
Our factory is HACCP and SQF Accredited and has ample capacity to develop individual ranges of confectionery and cake
toppings to assist businesses in the retail, food service and industrial markets in Australia and New Zealand.
In addition, we have RSPO, Halal and Kosher Certification for certain products.
Our bestselling retail lines are Australian favourites. Products such as our Extra Strong Peppermints and 100s and 1000s
have been enjoyed by Australians for decades.
Our retail product range is also constantly evolving to keep up with the latest trends. Through continued investment in our brand and facility, we want to be known as the Australian family-owned business, providing local and overseas markets with affordable and quality sweets and decorations.
Apart from our established Dollar Sweets and Creative Kitchen brands, we also have the capacity to manufacture house brands, or own branded retail products. Large pack sizes are available for food services, as well as bulk industrial products for companies wishing to value-add to their own manufacturing process.

Fairy Bread Day
Back in the day (November 24th, 2014 to be precise), founder Adam Schell was enjoying a snack of Fairy Bread and jokingly said, “There should be a day to celebrate this!”. “Well mate, why don’t you make one?”, was his friend’s response. That simple moment was how Fairy Bread came to exist and be celebrated every year on November 24th. Each year, avid Fairy Bread lovers get together, create their favourite version of this iconic treat and make a donation to support Australian Children’s charities.
In 2020, we were asked to take over the reins – a proud moment for us. Fairy Bread is so quintessentially Australian and as an Australian manufacturer of the key fairy bread ingredient - 100s and 1000s, it just seemed like the perfect fit!
We’ve partnered with ReachOut Australia as the day’s official charity partner for the amazing work they do supporting youth mental health programs. Fairy Bread evokes meaning to so many people. Whether it’s the nostalgic throwback from your own childhood or present-day kids parties, it’s inherently fun and a light-hearted way to raise money for such a worthwhile cause.
