- If you enjoy licorice, look specifically for mixed bags that combine sweet, salty and caramel notes, a hallmark of Danish confectionery.
- Check opening hours in advance, as closing times are slightly earlier on Sundays and vary a little by weekday.
- Use it as a weather-proof stop on rainy or windy days in Ebeltoft, especially if you are exploring the old town on foot.

A sweet landmark on Adelgade
Mols Bolsjer sits on one of Ebeltoft’s most charming streets, a short stretch of cobblestones lined with low historic houses and independent shops. Behind the modest shopfront you step into a warm, sugary world, where rows of jars, tins and bags of candy turn the walls into a palette of reds, ambers and pastels. The space feels intimate rather than grand, more like a traditional neighbourhood shop than a polished showroom. The atmosphere is informal and welcoming. The counter is often stacked with freshly packed bags, gift assortments and seasonal specials, while simple wooden shelving and baskets echo the town’s maritime and small-town character. This is very much a working sweet shop in an everyday Danish coastal town, not a staged attraction.Handmade Danish candies and local flavours
The heart of Mols Bolsjer is its range of boiled sweets, produced by the company itself using traditional methods at a nearby facility. Across the shelves you find classic fruit flavours, cooling mints and a strong focus on various kinds of licorice, reflecting a much-loved taste in Denmark. Some mixes play with combinations such as licorice and caramel or salty and sweet, while others lean into sharper citrus or berry notes. Packaging ranges from simple bags ideal for sharing on a walk around town to more decorative tins and gift boxes that travel well as souvenirs. Labels are typically clear and practical, helping you distinguish between mild, sweet varieties and stronger, more intense options. It is easy to build a personalised selection rather than just picking up a single standard bag.Craft tradition behind the counter
Although production happens off-site, the shop is closely tied to the craft side of the business. The sweets are made in relatively small batches using techniques that preserve the look and texture associated with classic Danish “bolsjer.” That means glossy surfaces, precise stripes and a firm bite that slowly softens as you let the candy melt in your mouth. On some days, staff are happy to explain the basics of the process, from cooking the sugar to adding flavours and colours and shaping the hot mass into rods that are then cut into individual pieces. The connection between workshop and shop gives the place a different feel from generic candy chains; what you see on the shelves has not travelled far.Shopping experience for all ages
Mols Bolsjer works well as a quick, low-effort stop during a stroll through Ebeltoft. Children are naturally drawn to the colours and the idea of picking their own sweets, while adults tend to gravitate toward nostalgic flavours or carefully packed gift assortments. The layout is straightforward, so even at busy times it is easy to scan the shelves and make a choice without feeling rushed. There is no seating or cafe area, so the focus remains firmly on browsing and buying. The compact interior means prams and wheelchairs can enter, but moving around may require a little patience if the shop is crowded. For many visitors, a short visit is enough to leave with a bag or two to enjoy later on the harbour or near the town’s glass museum.Part of Ebeltoft’s old-town charm
The shop’s location makes it a natural addition to a wider wander through the old town. From the door you can look out toward timbered buildings, nearby boutiques and the gentle bustle of Adelgade. In that setting, a traditional sweet shop feels entirely at home, adding another sensory layer to the townscape: the smell of sugar and licorice mixing with sea air drifting up from the harbour. Because it is indoors and open most days of the week, Mols Bolsjer is a useful option when weather on the Djursland coast turns wet or windy. It is also a convenient last stop before leaving town, an easy place to pick up edible mementos of Ebeltoft and the surrounding Mols area without needing a lengthy detour.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
