lly Belly Candy Company, in partnership with Warner Bros. Consumer Products, is excited to announce five new additions to its collection of Harry Potter-inspired confections, now available year-round nationwide. Hitting stores just in time for the holidays, Wizarding World fans and candy connoisseurs can now gift their loved ones with unforgettable treats inspired by the beloved films. New additions include the first-ever Butterbeer-inspired chewy candies and milk chocolate bars available in creative packaging ranging from festive barrel tins to glass mugs, as well as a Harry Potter™ House Points Counter Dispenser, a new jelly bean dispenser that will provide an answer to the most coveted fan question: who will win the house cup, Slytherin™, Hufflepuff™, Gryffindor™ or Ravenclaw™?
“We’re thrilled to celebrate the magic of the holiday season with these new additions to our Harry Potter collection,” said Rob Swaigen, Vice President of Global Marketing at Jelly Belly Candy Company. “At Jelly Belly, we pride ourselves on true-to-life flavor in every candy we create, so we’re excited to offer Wizarding World fans the taste of Butterbeer in a candy form for the first time ever.”
With the holidays right around the corner, treat lovers are not going to want to miss out on these must-have items. New items include:
- Harry Potter™ Butterbeer™ Chewy Candy tastes and looks like Butterbeer. Now you can enjoy one of the most beloved drinks from the Wizarding World in an all-new form, served in the shape of a traditional Butterbeer glass mug.
- Harry Potter™ Butterbeer™ Milk Chocolate Bar is a decadent milk chocolate treat that is complete with a smooth and creamy Butterbeer-flavored filling. Detailed barrel shapes are formed on each of the bar’s six squares.
- Harry Potter™ Butterbeer™ Barrel Tin is a barrel-shaped tin filled with the new Harry Potter Butterbeer Chewy Candy, allowing fans to stock up on enough new candies to last the Hogwarts school year.
- Harry Potter™ Butterbeer™ Glass Mug is a beautiful glass mug adorned with the metal crests of all four Hogwarts Houses. The glass is filled with Harry Potter Butterbeer Chewy Candy and includes a collectible Butterbeer coaster.
- Harry Potter™ House Points Counter Dispenser is a new jelly bean dispenser inspired by the famed house points counter in the Harry Potter films, with an “hourglass” shape and a Jelly Belly flavor that represents each Hogwarts House: Slytherin, Hufflepuff, Gryffindor, and Ravenclaw. The manual candy dispenser includes sound, with voiceover from the famous Sorting Hat. With a press of the button, the Sorting Hat will tell fans which Hogwarts House they belong to and get a taste of green apple, lemon, cherry and blueberry jelly beans.
Since 2000, Warner Bros. and Jelly Belly have collaborated on an array of enchanting treats. These new innovations join fan-favorite confections including Bertie Bott’s Every-Flavour Beans™, Chocolate Wands, Chocolate Frogs and Jelly Slugs.
