Vanilla ice cream, fruit punch and popcorn are some of the flavors featured in the new Tailgate mix from [Brach's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fall-festival-candy-corn), along with some more unusual savory varieties. There are also [hot dog and hamburger varieties](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hot-dog-chips) included in the mixed bags and these unusual candy corn varieties offer a well-rounded snacking experience for summer barbecues, sports games and football viewing parties.

Brach's Tailgate Candy Corn is coming to [Walgreens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/halloween-gummy-candies) stores and online channels and this unique mix certainly stays true to the top candy brand's mission of delivering ever-fresh innovations.

Just a few years back, Brach's launched football-shaped candy corns for the fall season in chocolate, caramel and original flavors and this new offering is a fun depature that promises to strike up even more conversations between sports fans and adventurous eaters.
