Today I’d like to share a few items from Black Forest, a company best known for their classic Gummy Bears.\u00a0 Black Forest released a fun new boxed Halloween edition of their Gummy Bears for 2013 and I’ll take a look at that along with some pretty awesome items they first released during last year’s spooky season.<\/p>\n

Let’s kick off today’s coverage with Black Forest’s Gummy Bears Halloween box.\u00a0 I should note that Black Forest is now part of the Ferrara Candy Company, the company created from the merged Ferrara Pan with Farley and Sathers.\u00a0 Here’s the box:<\/p>\n

That box goes to show you that sometimes all you need are the classics to transform a standard box to a Halloween seasonal; A witches hat, jack-o-lanterns, spider webs and bats.<\/p>\n

As I was getting today’s post together, I realized that I had picked up some other cool Black Forest Halloween Gummy items last year that I never got around to sharing.<\/p>\n

With the name Black Forest, this confectioner seems perfectly suited to the creation of Halloween candy and last year they released gummies based on two Halloween monster classics: Vampires and Werewolves.\u00a0 So here they are, Black Forest’s Juicy Oozers Gummy Vampires and Gummy Werewolves Halloween 24-pack:<\/p>\n

I’m sure that the success of the Twilight film franchise had something to do with the Vampire\/Werewolf combo and the graphic styling of those packages.\u00a0 Whatever the case, it’s great to see them getting a somewhat serious confectionery treatment.<\/p>\n

And that’s everything I’ve got today on Black Forest’s Halloween offerings.<\/p>\n

See you next time!<\/p>\n
