American Licorice is leaning into an early Halloween with new and returning treats from Sour Punch, Red Vines, and Torie and Howard. The 100 year old confectioner pitches the collection to candy fans young and not so young.
Sour Punch adds Frankenstraws, a sweet and sour take featuring pear, melon, and Midnight Mystery flavors. Ghost Pepper Roulette Straws return with spicy ghost pepper pieces hidden among fruity options. Individually wrapped Sour Punch Halloween Twists come in the Frankenstraw flavors and are sized for parties or trick or treaters, with 18 ounce and 32 ounce bags offering 85 or 160 pieces.
Red Vines Original Red Twists arrive in a 4 ounce tray with ghoulish graveyard themed packaging. As it celebrates its seventy fifth Halloween, the brand also introduces VINES Halloween Twists in blood orange and grape. The individually wrapped chewy twists are positioned for parties or solo snacking.
For those seeking organic options, Torie and Howard offers lollipops in Blood Orange Honey and Pomegranate Nectarine. The company says the flavors are made with natural ingredients, rounding out a seasonal lineup that spans licorice, lollipops, and sweet and sour candy.
