The Mast Store Provisioners Vanilla Bulls-Eyes Chocolate Bar has been created in collaboration between the North Carolina-based Mast General Store and the Goetze's Candy Company as a sweetly nostalgic treat.
The product comes as a modernized version of the classic Goetze's Bulls-Eyes (AKA Caramel Creams), which have been a staple at the Mast Store for many years. The new bar-style chocolate product incorporates elements of the Bulls-Eyes, while also bringing high-quality chocolate into the mix. The bar will be sampled at all Mast Store locations on December 11, 2025 from 4 to 6pm.
Mast Store Candy Buyer Stegano Tringali commented on the Mast Store Provisioners Vanilla Bulls-Eyes Chocolate Bar saying, "The Bulls-Eye Caramel is a treat loved and shared across generations. As we were looking for inspiration for a new candy bar, we kept coming back to this all-time favorite. We love them, and we know our guests do, too!"
