Zombie-Themed Sour Candies

Sour Patch Kids Zombie Candy is Here for Halloween 2019

— September 7, 2019 — Lifestyle
September may have only just begun, but Sour Patch Kids Zombie candy has already arrived on store shelves. Last year, the zombified treats were only available in limited-edition packs from 7-Eleven, but this year they are rolling out at all your favorite retailers.

The new Sour Patch Kids Zombie candy is a seasonal creation that features just two of the standard sour flavors. Instead of cherry, blue raspberry, grape, orange, lime, and lemon flavors, the zombie version features just the grape and orange treats. Naturally, the candies also come in a special Halloween-themed packaging that boasts a Frankenstein-style Sour Patch Kid on the front.

Whether you plan to give them to trick-or-treaters or hoard them for yourself, these new candies are the perfect Halloween treat.
