Halloween is right around the corner. Are you one of those people that give away full size candy, or fun size. Do you dress up for the tricker-treaters. Put that all aside for a second. Maybe you want to be the person who gives out the odd candy, well look no further.

Kraft Heinz is making some of their iconic foods into candy gummies. Yes, you heard that correctly. They’re launching Kraft Mac and Cheese, Oscar Mayer Hot Dogs, and Claussen Pickles gummy candies. No, thankfully they don’t taste like the actual product so you can’t trick the kids. These were created in partnership with Frankford Candy , the brands have teamed up to offer a variety of fruit flavored gummies. The Mac and Cheese really isn’t a new launch as they had it listed for sale on amazon. But Hot Dog and Pickle are new launches.

The Kraft Heinz Variety Pack is rolling out now through September for $7.99 at retailers nationwide, including Walgreens, Target. A slightly smaller 30ct. bag will also be sold at Family Dollar and Dollar General in the Halloween Candy Section. Frankford Candy has a plethora of brands they remade into gummies, some other brands are Dunkin’, Lunchables, Peeps, and Oreos. They’ve also teamed up with a lot of Entertainment franchises, some including. Disney, Nickelodeon, and Nintendo.

Don't miss your chance to break that rule. You know which one I'm talking about. When your parents told don't play with your food. I can’t speak for everyone, but I’m excited to try these new gummies. This is also your chance to get your house on that famous Halloween candy map we all made as kids. Halloween is closer than you think, act now or you’ll be on the bad Halloween map where the kids will avoid. Happy Halloween everyone and be safe out there!
