These product offerings are known as the Justin's® Classic Crunchy Peanut Butter and the Justin's® Peanut Caramel Nougat Chocolate Candy Bars. Alongside the peanut butter snacks, Justin's is also entering the frozen category through a partnership with [Rudi's Rocky Mountain Bakery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rudis-rocky-mountain-bakery), which will see [Rudi's Sandos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sandos) made with Justin's® Peanut Butter. Justin's new products answer consumer demand for "a delightful crunch and mindfully sourced ingredients." The Justin's® Classic Crunchy Peanut Butter figures as a no-stir product with the brand's signature and high-quality grind. The Peanut Caramel Nougat Chocolate Candy Bars, on the other hand, come in dark chocolate and milk chocolate varieties. Finally, the peanut butter-enhanced Rudi's Sandos will deliver 11 grams of protein per sandwich with less sugar.
