The Butterfinger Salted Caramel candy bar is the brand's latest snack creation that's expected to catch the attention of consumers with a penchant for savory taste experiences. The candy bar features the signature crispy, crunchy and nutty flavor of Butterfinger in every bite, but is formulated with the signature flavor of caramel and salt in the mix. This will work well for consumers who have an interest in artisan-inspired flavor experiences with the bar slated to be launched into the US market in April 2025 for shoppers to pick up.
Senior Brand Manager Kalyn Flournoy spoke on the Butterfinger Salted Caramel candy bar saying, "The brand has an exciting innovation pipeline, and we look forward to sharing even more details on how we plan to take the classic American crispety, crunchety, peanut-buttery taste of Butterfinger to the next level with irresistible flavor combinations."
