Sprinkles Cupcake Bites are being launched by the brand as a series of consumer packaged goods that are crafted with the taste and texture of cupcakes in mind, but with a decidedly convenient format. The snacks consist of cupcake-style taste and texture, which comes in a bite-sized format that can be easily enjoyed in lunches, out of the house and beyond. The treats will come in four flavor options to start including Birthday Cake, Cookie Dough, Red Velvet and Cookies & Creme, which each come in pouch-style packaging.
CEO Ashley Rogers spoke on the Sprinkles Cupcake Bites saying, "We’re excited to introduce Cupcake Bites as the next evolution of our brand. It marks a meaningful step into a new snacking category, bringing the flavors and textures of Sprinkles’ iconic cupcakes into a format that fits seamlessly into today’s consumer routines.”
