The See's Candies Scotchmallow Littles are the brand's newest product that offers an alternative take on the brand's signature dark chocolate treat.
The candies start off with honey marshmallow and vanilla caramel, which is enrobed in dark chocolate to give them the perfect blend of sweet flavor, texture and bite-sized portion. The product comes with each bite-sized piece individually wrapped, which are all packaged inside a collectible tin to make the product perfect for gifting occasions. Priced at $23 for an eight-ounce tin, the candies are available in-store and online only while supplies last.
President and CEO Pat Egan spoke on the See's Candies Scotchmallow Littles saying, "With this new offering, our classic piece is so easy to eat, and the perfect size to pop in your mouth. Scotchmallows are always special, and we made it just a little easier to taste that deliciousness. We love bringing joy to our customers, and I think they are going to love it."
