The Rowntree’s Lollies candies are a series of ice pop-inspired treats that will bring the flavor of summertime treats to any snacking occasion. The candies come in three varieties including Sour Watermelon Flavour, Fruit Pastilles and Mango Flavour, which are each inspired by one of the brand's signature Ice Lollies flavor and are made with real fruit juice. The treats come in 130-gram sharing bags to encourage consumers to enjoy them with a friend and keep enough on hand for sporadic snacking occasions.
Senior Brand Manager Hayley Nixon spoke on the Rowntree’s Lollies candies saying, "We’re thrilled to bring the bold, fruity flavours of our iconic ice lollies into a new sweet format. This launch means fans can enjoy the taste they love, whatever the season, in a fun and shareable way. It’s all about giving people more of what they enjoy, vibrant flavours and real fruit juice.”
