These Haldiram’s seasonal treats have been unveiled by the brand for summer 2026 as a series of globally inspired sweets that will offer consumers in the UK with something new to try out. The product range includes the Mango Marzipan and the Pistachio Modak Marzipan that each respond to consumer snacking habits and preferences. The Mango Marzipan features the bright flavor of mango that's allowed to shine through the simple almond base, while the Pistachio Modak Marzipan draws inspiration from the viral Dubai chocolate that has spiked interest in pistachio sweets.
Head of Business Development UK & EU Rhea Agarwal commented on the Haldiram’s seasonal treats saying, "We’re seeing strong momentum behind tropical and pistachio flavours across confectionery, desserts and snacking. Mango brings a fresh and vibrant flavour profile for summer, while pistachio continues to resonate with consumers looking for indulgent and premium experiences. These launches reflect how traditional sweets can evolve through contemporary flavours and formats."
