Mike and Ike's Sour Spooky Treats Include Three Flavors

— August 17, 2024 — Lifestyle
Mike and Ike's Sour Spooky Treats have been announced by the Just Born-owned brand as its latest addition to the recognizable candy brand's portfolio for a seasonal spin on a classic.

The candy product will catch the eye of shoppers thanks to its Halloween-themed branding complete with jack-o-lanterns and a cauldron, while also putting special edition candy colors in the spotlight. This consists of the three new flavors being launched in the pack that include Sour Ghoulish Grape, Sour Orange Scream and Sour Wicked Watermelon.

Mike and Ike's Sour Spooky Treats are priced ranging from $1.25 to $2.19, depending on the retailer, and come in a 4.25-ounce theater box. The candies maintain a fat-free, gluten-free and Kosher profile just like the brand's other offerings.
