Easter is built on surprise and delight, from not knowing what's inside a plastic egg to the mystery of where eggs might be hidden in a hunt, and the limited-time HI-CHEW Easter Mystery Mix taps into this by pairing three fan-favorite flavors with one all-new springtime Mystery Flavor.
As far as what candy lovers can be sure of, the limited-edition mix contains beloved HI-CHEW varieties like Rainbow Sherbet from the Fantasy Mix, Strawberry Lemonade from Fruit Combos, and Yuzu Lime from the Getaway Mix. Perfect for seasonal festivities and gifting, the chewy, fruity treats in the HI-CHEW Easter Mystery Mix can be found in individually wrapped pillow packs that are just the right size to tuck into Easter eggs.
