Short answer: Shockers are soft, chewy sweet bars with a sweet outer layer and a sour centre that gives a tangy kick.

You can order Shockers online for delivery anywhere in South Africa, to a Pudo locker or your door, and King Kong Candy’s walk-in shop is at 64 Blaauwberg Road, Table View, Cape Town.
What are Shockers?
King Kong Candy describes Shockers as “soft, chewy bars with a sweet outer layer and a sour centre”. You bite into the smooth outside first, then the sour centre hits. Every flavour is a sour one.
If you have searched for “Shocker sweets”, “Shockers candy” or “sour Shockers”, these are the 20 g bars King Kong Candy stocks. On the site you will find them in Sour & Fizzy, Chewy & Soft Sweets and Local Legends, the range King Kong Candy calls “the sweets South Africans grew up with, and a few new legends”.
