LOS ANGELES, May 23, 2017 - Adams & Brooks invites you to punch up your non-chocolate chewy sales with an exciting addition to its successful Hawaiian Punch line: NEW Hawaiian Punch® Candy Jellies. These new soft, round jellies are made with top Hawaiian Punch® flavors and packaged in high impact bags. “Hawaiian Punch® is one of those great cross-generational brands that everyone has grown up with, knows and loves … from Boomers to Millennials and even Generation Z,” says Shelly Clarey, Vice President of Marketing and Sales for Adams & Brooks. “The Hawaiian Punch® brand and flavors are perfect for chewy candy.” The Candy Jellies are a new addition to Adams & Brooks line of Hawaiian Punch confections. “Launched last year, our Hawaiian Punch® Candy Chews have done exceptionally well,” says Clarey. “Both the Chews and new Jellies are an ideal way to cater to consumer interest in non-chocolate chewy candy which has been on fire.

Recent IRI data also shows candy jellies growing five times faster than other chewy categories.” The new Hawaiian Punch® Candy Jellies will feature five flavors: Fruit Juicy Red™, Orange Ocean™, Lemon Berry Squeeze™, Berry Blue Typhoon™ and Green Berry Rush™.
