Just in time for summer, eagle-eyed consumers have begun spotting a cool new candy on store shelves: Sour Patch Kids Freeze. Just like the new Sour Patch popsicles and ice cream, the icy candies combine sweet and sour flavors with a fresh, cooling sensation.
Sour Patch Kids Freeze is a new candy that has been spotted on the shelves of stores such as CVS and Target. The candies come in a lemonade variety mix with blue raspberry, strawberry, cherry lime, and lemon flavors. But beyond the sour taste, the candies also deliver a unique cooling sensation that leaves the mouth feeling icy cold. As candy reviewer JunkFoodMom describes, the flavor is "not minty or menthol or over the top, just a refreshing fruity coolness."
