Quaker Chewy Limited-Edition Valentine Minis have been announced by the brand just ahead of Valentine's Day season to provide consumers with the perfect option to pick up ahead of card swapping traditions.
The snack features miniature versions of the brand's signature granola bars that come in specially branded wrappers with a dedicated section to write names right on the front. This makes the snacks the perfect replacement for conventional Valentine's Day cards, while the product comes in 28-packs to accommodate being handed out in the classroom. The snack bars also feature red and white sprinkles to further drink home the themed nature of the treats.
Marketing Director of PFNA Bars Maggie Mcclanahan commented on the Quaker Chewy Limited-Edition Valentine Minis saying, "This Valentine's Day, we're making snack time extra special with our interactive packaging and delicious limited-edition Quaker Chewy Valentine Minis. Not only are the bite-sized treats ideal for sharing, but we’re also encouraging families to fuel their creativity with our revamped packaging that makes preparing for card exchange that much easier."
