The last couple years I’ve been impressed with Necco’s seasonal offerings.\u00a0 For a company that’s been around over a century, they’re finding ways to bring cool contemporary products to market .\u00a0 In 2012 they blew me away with their Skybar Zombie Food<\/a>, and this year they’ve created a tasty treat in a particularly groovy package with their Red Hot Cinnamon Batwing Necco Wafers!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

During all of my candy hunts and shopping trips this year, I never found Necco Batwing Wafers at retail.\u00a0 I had to find and purchase these online and of course I’m glad I did as they really are a cool package.\u00a0 I’d go so far as to call this the most edgy and fashionable Halloween candy packaging of the season.\u00a0 What do you think?<\/p>\n

Check out that UPC code fun their designer was having!<\/p>\n

Here’s what the individual packs look like:<\/p>\n

Since these are new and a product most people have probably not seen yet, I also wanted to share a photo of the actual candy.\u00a0 Here they are:<\/p>\n

Being a big fan of the cinnamon hot flavor in my candy<\/a>, these were quite enjoyable.\u00a0 Makes me wish for a roll of cinnamon hot Necco Wafers!\u00a0 How about it, Necco?<\/p>\n

I know I have a contingent of comic book enthusiasts who visit CollectingCandy.com and I’ll ask if what jumped out at me the first time I saw Necco’s Batwing Wafers packaging also occurred to them:\u00a0 Don’t you think the packaging design looks like it took inspiration from the futuristic Batman Beyond cartoon series?<\/p>\n

Whatever the case, the packaging design is awfully cool and makes Necco’s Batwing Wafers one of my favorite new releases for the Halloween 2013 season.<\/p>\n

And that’s everything for today.\u00a0 See you next time!<\/p>\n
