Goldfish has just unveiled a limited new snack with the launch of the Butterbeer Flavored Grahams. It is inspired by the magical world of Harry Potter and the treat will be officially on the market on Marc h2025. The campaign will be running from the first of March until the end of May.
The Grahams bring forth a nostalgic and comfortable taste of Butterbeer with a blend of sweet butterscotch and creamy vanilla. Goldfish works together with Warner Bros to bring this to life. The R&D team at Goldfish worked through 15 seasonings for over four rounds to make sure that the recipe was to their standards. The collaboration was natural as the efforts all share a playful spirit.
