Snackable Spicy Cranberries

Chili Lime Craisins Enhance Dried Cranberries with Zesty Heat

Craisins Dried Cranberries debuted nearly 30 years ago and since then, consumers' flavor preferences and preferred ways to savor them have changed, prompting the launch of the new, flavor-forward Chili Lime Craisins. Tapping into the demand for all things sweet and spicy, this "swicy" flavor pairing matches the cooling, zesty qualities of lime with just the right infusion of heat from chili.

For decades, people have savored Craisins over everything from oatmeal to salads, and this bold new flavor appeals to adventurous snackers who crave flavorful ways to refuel on hikes, beach days or between everyday activities.

These boldly flavored Craisins Dried Cranberries will be featured in Ocean Spray's Flavor Rush campaign, spotlighting micro-adventures that unfold when snacking outside the ordinary.
