With assortments that first arrived in stores just last Christmas, Whitman’s has been releasing licensed Peanuts holiday-themed chocolate bars in fun, illustrated boxes.\u00a0 I first covered them for Christmas 2013<\/a> and followed that up with a piece on their Valentine’s assortment earlier this Spring<\/a>.\u00a0 Today I’m excited to share their fun new trio of Halloween-themed Peanuts chocolate bars for 2014!<\/p>\n

Peanuts is an evergreen license so I think it was a smart move for Whitman’s to pick it up and to utilize it in this way, with new seasonal releases throughout the year.\u00a0 They’re inexpensive, typically selling at a dollar each at retail, so perfect for casual gift-giving – and who doesn’t love The Peanuts Gang and The Great Pumpkin?<\/p>\n

The graphics for the packaging on these have been a mix of new designs as well as images inspired directly from some of the classic Peanuts TV holiday specials.<\/p>\n

Here are the three chocolate bar boxes that make up this years’ Halloween assortment:<\/p>\n

\"Whitman's

Whitman’s – Peanuts Happy Halloween – Snoopy Woodstock – 2oz chocolate bar box – October 2014<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Whitman's

Whitman’s – Peanuts It’s The Great Pumpkin – The Gang – 2oz chocolate bar box – October 2014<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Whitman's

Whitman’s – Peanuts The Great Pumpkin Is Coming – Linus – 2oz chocolate bar box – October 2014<\/p><\/div>\n

Beyond these single chocolate bar releases, I believe Whitman’s has begun to put the license to use with other format confectionery products<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And that’s everything I’ve got to share today on Whitman’s delightful Halloween-themed Peanuts bars.<\/p>\n

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