As of January 2019, Skittles Darkside are making a return to store shelves for a limited time. With a host of mysterious new fruit flavors, the exclusive collection is a must for candy lovers.
Skittles Darkside is a limited-edition collection described as "the other side of the rainbow." Instead of the usual Skittles flavor lineup of grape, lemon, lime, orange, and strawberry, the Darkside version features dark berry, black cherry, midnight lime, blood orange, and a forbidden fruit flavor. Even the packaging is different, with the classic red bag replaced with a dark purple hue.
While the collection has been in and out of stores since 2013, in January fans will be able to easily get their hands on a bag of Skittles Darkside at their local supermarket or convenience store.
