High Five Candy Bar is an irresistible release from Jeni’s Splendid Ice Cream that combines peanut butter, caramel, chocolate and pretzels in a satisfyingly nostalgic way.
High Five Candy Bar is one of the upcoming flavors that will be debuting in the brand's upcoming Road Trip Snacks collection, along with fun-filled, new and limited-time-only flavors that will be appearing in scoop shops across the country. These travel-inspiring flavors include Salted Licorice, Frosé Sorbet, BOMBASTIX Sundae Cone and Butterscotch Popcorn. According to Jeni's, these flavors channel the essence of "the sweet and salty snacks you pick up at the gas station, the cool treats you reach for to take the edge off the sweltering heat, and the first sip of that super refreshing adult beverage when you’re done driving for the day."
