Ferrera brand SweeTarts is introducing its newest innovation: SweeTarts Gummy Halos candy, according to a press release.

“SweeTarts Gummy Halos feature an airy, fluffy gummy bottom layer topped with a vibrant pink and blue chewy layer, all coated in the perfect blend of sweet and tart flavors. This new product features two exciting flavor combinations for the SweeTarts portfolio: Blue Punch and Strawberries & Cream,” Ferrera said.

SweeTarts Gummy Halos candy is available at retailers nationwide now in 3 oz, 3.5 oz, 6 oz and 11 oz packages.

Trolli announced the nationwide launch of its Trolli Sour Brite Squad. “The new product is an innovative addition to the popular Sour Brite Crawlers lineup that promises to revolutionize the sour candy experience. After rolling out at select retailers in late 2024, these distinctive crawlers are now ready to jolt taste buds across the country,” Ferrera said in a press release.

The gummies come in three shapes and flavors include blackberry-lime, strawberry-lemonade and raspberry-orange.

Meanwhile, Hershey unveiled its Milk Chocolate with Caramel bar this month. “This delicious twist on the iconic Hershey’s milk chocolate bar adds new texture with a luscious caramel center to the classic,” Hershey’s said in a press release. “From its smooth caramel core to perfectly portioned squares, every detail was made to delight.”

Elsewhere in the candy category, earlier this month Ferrero North America revealed its slate of new products for the next twelve months.

The company said these new treats “demonstrate the creativity, craftsmanship and quality that go into Ferrero's products, and will help drive the next phase of growth for the company in North America.”

The new product innovations include:
