Mermaid-Themed Fruit Candies

Brach's New Mermaid Fruity Candy Corn is Here for Halloween

It seems as though Brach's is here to make Halloween a little bit less spooky with its colorful new Mermaid Fruity Candy Corn.

Branch's is perhaps best known for its candy corn, which is why the release of a new Mermaid Fruity Candy Corn has people talking. The magical new treat was spotted by Instagrammer @junkfoodmom, who appears to have found the product as Kroger. According to the packaging, the new Mermaid Fruity Candy Corn includes six fruity flavors, which range from Strawberry and Green Apple, to Grape and Lemon. And of course, each candy corn piece comes in a sea-themed shape, such as a shell or starfish.

With the release of yet another mermaid-themed food product, it seems as though the sea creature craze has yet to wane in popularity.
