Barebells is expanding its Soft Candy line with Cherry Kicks, a chewy treat that turns a sneaker shape into a more playful low-sugar snack. The candy combines a foam-like white sole with a cherry jelly upper and a sour finish, giving each piece a mix of textures instead of a standard fruit chew.

Soft Candy entered the US with more familiar forms such as Peach Rings and Sour Cola, so Cherry Kicks pushes the line toward a more novelty-driven look. It still keeps the range at 1 g of sugar and 100 calories per bag, which lets shoppers try a more character-driven candy without leaving the lighter snack lane.

For shoppers, this means low-sugar candy can compete on personality and texture, not just on trimming sugar. A bag like this gives the aisle a more eye-catching option for people who want a sweet snack with a novelty twist.
