So what can foodies expect to find on shelves in 2025?

As well as launching Reese’s Peanut Butter Pie Miniatures and other treats, Hershey’s has come up with three new Jolly Rancher candies.

One of these, Eat This, Not That! reported, are Jolly Rancher Chewy Poppers.

The delicious sugary treat, available for just $5.99, is a “triple-layered innovation” with a candy shell, chewy core and fruity center.

“These are fire! The flavor is spot on, perfect amount of shell, perfect amount of chewy, and it’s nice to have an alternative to sucking on the same flavor forever! Edit: Oh, and I forgot the best part! They have juicy centers!” one Redditor said.

Americans can also now snap up Jolly Rancher Freeze Dried – a deliciously crunchy new treat from Hershey’s.

According to those who’ve already given this cheeky snack a go, the candy is ”light, super crunchy, and melts right in your mouth with bold, fruity flavor”.

“It’s not overly sweet or sticky like regular candy, just fun and seriously satisfying. Even as someone who doesn’t crave candy, I’d say this treat is 100% worth trying,” rea d a rave review online.

If you prefer something more chewy, it’s worth heading to the store and hunting down the new Jolly Rancher Ropes that are packed with bold flavors.

Going for a mere $3.99, the candy has ”a perfect texture and a lot of flavor,” as per one fan.

“I’ve been going back to Walmart everyday waiting for them to come back in stock because they’ve been out for several days now.

”I hope they get more in soon!”

Dubai chocolate for less than $10

A grocery chain has confirmed that it has slashed the price on a viral Dubai chocolate bar to $9.99.

The wildly popular treat has already sold out at Trader Joe’s once, meaning this supermarket rival might be your best place to go.

Earlier this month, The US Sun reported that Lidl was trying its hand at Dubai chocolate.

A representative for the company told The US Sun that the bars would be sold for $12.99 each, or two for $20.

The representative described the Dubai Chocolate as being ” filled with rich, creamy milk chocolate (like the original recipe) and stuffed with an ooey-gooey kadayif + pistachio cream center.

“It’s the same dreamy combo that made this bar a full-blown cult obsession – and now it’s hitting US shelves.”

The bars are twice as big as the ones found at Trader Joe’s, and will begin selling on shelves from Friday, June 13.

But now, a new price has been announced just days before the chocolate goes on sale at Lidl.

The US Sun has been told that Lidl’s Dubai chocolate will now be sold at $9.99 a bar instead of $12.99.

This $3 saving reaffirms that Lidl is one of the best places to go for Dubai chocolate.

Supplies of the chocolate will only be selling as long as supplies last at Lidl.
