\"cc_cauldron-skittles-and-starburst-halloween-mix-new-for-2016-title-plate-b\"For the Halloween season this year, Wrigley delighted candy fans by releasing a new Skittles flavor mix with a seasonal theme called “Cauldron”.\u00a0\u00a0 This follows up their release last year of a super-fun Halloween Mix for their Starburst brand that featured Frankenstein’s Monster on the packs.\u00a0 Make the jump to check them both out!<\/p>\n

I’ll be covering the fun new Cauldron Skittles launch for 2016, but before I do that I’d like to showcase what Wrigley brought us last year with their Starburst Halloween Mix, because they’re pretty cool (and they’ve returned for the season again this year).<\/p>\n

I first found Starburst Halloween Mix in the standard-size packs.\u00a0 Here’s a wrapper:<\/p>\n

I love the Frankenstein’s Monster illustration – it’s such a fun touch and I always love to see Frankenstein evoked on candy packages<\/a>.\u00a0 If you look closely on that Starburst wrapper, you can see the individual flavors highlighted; bewtiched blueberry, batty blackberry, chilling cherry kiwi, and mysterious mango.\u00a0\u00a0 Each Halloween-themed flavor Starburst also received a neat graphical wrapper.<\/p>\n

Available in more than just the individual packs, Starburst Halloween Mix were sold in a larger 11 oz bag as well as a Fun Size multipack.<\/p>\n

\"Wrigley

The Fun Size multi-pack package offered up its Halloween Mix in little two-packs of individually wrapped Starbursts, providing yet another bit of unique packaging:<\/p>\n

I thought Starburst doing a Halloween mix last year was a pretty dynamite idea and they must have liked the response they got to it because not only did it return in 2016 but it was joined by the release of a new Halloween-themed Skittles – Cauldron!<\/p>\n

I first found the Cauldron Skittles in a small counter top display box at my local deli:<\/p>\n

The packaging is pretty cool for these, with a witches cauldron illustration at the base of the wrapper and the “Cauldron” name spookily spelled out on top:<\/p>\n

\"Wrigley

Wrigley – Cauldron Skittles – 2oz Halloween candy package wrapper – October 2016<\/p><\/div>\n

I love the descriptions used for the individual Cauldron Mix flavors; Petrified Pear, Lurking Lemon, Twisted Tangerine, Gripping Grape, and Bogey Berry.\u00a0 Fun stuff!<\/p>\n

Like the Halloween Mix Starburst before them, Cauldron Skittles have also been released in a larger pack size along with a Fun-Size version.\u00a0 I haven’t picked up the Fun-Size version but I do have an example of the larger 10 oz package here:<\/p>\n

As you can see, the Halloween season has gotten a lot more colorful and fun thanks to these new seasonal releases from Starburst and Skittles.\u00a0 I suspect this is just the beginning.<\/p>\n

That’s everything I’ve got to share on Starburst Halloween Mix and the newest Skittles release for Halloween 2016, Cauldron Skittles!\u00a0 See you next time!<\/p>\n
