Candy lovers are eager to experience the flavors they love in exciting new forms, and the latest innovations from Ferrara apply the viral freeze-dried candy format to fan-favorite SweeTARTS, Lemonhead and Spree candies.
While the SweeTARTS Freeze Dried candy is as sweet and tart as ever, the mini chewy SweeTARTS are uniquely crunchy. Lemonhead Freeze Dried candies are mouth-puckering, and instead of being chewy, Spree Freeze Dried candy delivers its signature tanginess with a fresh textured experience. Each bag of sweet, crispy and crunchy candies is resealable, perfect for solo snacking and sharing.
These light, airy bites bring a fresh sensory experience to beloved candies that have been around since the 60s—fans have savored Spree since its introduction in 1967, SweeTARTS since 1963 and Lemonhead since 1962.
