Bite-Sized Licorice Candies

The New Sweetarts Ropes Bites are a Tiny Take on a Popular Candy

After the success of its SweeTarts Soft and Chewy Ropes and Mini Chewy line, candy brand SweeTarts has debuted two new takes on its most popular products: SweeTarts Ropes Bites and SweeTarts Mini Chewy Berries & Cherries. Both are just as addictively sweet as the original versions, but come in a new bite-sized format that's perfect for sharing.

The new SweeTarts Ropes Bites are just like the original Soft and Chewy Ropes except they now come in bite-sized pieces. This means you can pop tasty licorice candies in five fruity flavors, all of which contain a tart, fruit punch-flavored filling in the center. The new Ropes Bites are also a perfect compliment to the new SweeTarts Mini Chewy Berries & Cherries, which are an extension of the brand's Mini Chewy line. These candies consist of chewy pieces in Raspberry, Blackberry, Blue Berry Punch, Dark Cherry, and Mixed Berry flavors.
