There are some kinds of fruits that naturally go well with others and the new HI-CHEW Fruit Combos Mix plays with some of these popular pairings. These chewy candies boast two layers of flavor, so that when they are combined, they form a third experience with the blended flavors.
Biting into the Passion Fruit "chewlet" with a mango-flavored center creates what HI-CHEW calls a Tropical Smoothie, while the fusion of the Creamy Coconut chewy candy with a pineapple center recreates the taste of a Piña Colada. Created with the American consumer in mind, both of these tropically inspired candies tap into the popularity of beverages and offer a fresh new take on HI-CHEW's double-layer appearance.
