Your favorite candy brands like nostalgic Jolly Rancher, Lemonhead, and more are releasing new candies that will make you want more. Whether you like them fruity, juicy, or even spicy, there’s something in store for you in these new releases. Get your candy salad bowls ready as we’re about to drop the latest candy news.
Jarritos
Your favorite fruit-flavored soda brand from Mexico is coming in once again in the form of candy. Now, you can taste the fruity goodness of Jaritos as they collaborate with Mexican candy brand Canel’s which has brought us treats of candy mixes, chewing gum, and caramel candies.
If you love their soda, you might just fall for the assorted gummies, which contain flavors of mango, mandarin, pineapple, lime, tamarind, and fruit punch in a chewy gummy format. But if you like lollipops, then you’re in luck, as they created two variants of their fruity Pops, one in classic and the other in spicy.
According to food blogger @Snack Betch, the Jarritos candies are beginning to show up around Walmart stores, so you better be on the watch as they could be lying on the shelves of a Walmart store near you.

This makes a great addition to your next candy salad and candy bars.

From The Club
I’m more of a chocolate fan than a candy one, yet I think I couldn’t resist any of these new candies when I see them in a grocery store near me. I guess my favorite would be the Jolly Rancher Freeze-dried candy, as someone who always has a fruity chewable inside the bag. I’m also down for the Lemonhead Ropes since it reminds me of the strawberry-flavored yogurt ropes from a candy brand that I can’t remember.
