If you're starting to stock up on holiday treats, you may want to consider the new Crunch Jingles from Ferrara Candy Co. and Branch's.
The new Crunch Jingles are essentially a cross between a signature Crunch Bar and Brach’s peppermint candy. The bite-sized treats consist of bell-shaped milk chocolates infused with the same crisped rice found in a Crunch Bar and Brach’s peppermint candy pieces. As Ferrara Candy Co. Senior Director of Marketing explains, "When these businesses came together we said how do we make our sum greater than our two parts? ...We were able to mash up Brach’s peppermint canes, a seasonal icon, with Crunch Jingles, another seasonal icon."
The new Crunch Jingles are available from retailers such as CVS and Pick ‘n Save.
