Swizzels launches new Halloween Squashies Squeletons sweets

The packet of sweets started out as just one flavour – Drumstick original Rasberry and Milk – but now the range has been expanded with other options.

Customers can buy Drumstick Strawberry & Cream, Drumstick Sour Cherry & Apple, Drumstick Bubblegum, Drumstick Rhubarb & Custard and Drumstick Banana & Blueberry.

A new addition is joining the fleet this Halloween as the confectionary company launches its first-ever Halloween-themed Squashies.

The new packet of sweets, called Squashies Squeletons, is filled with sweets of three flavours and they’re all skeleton shape.

Where can you buy the new Halloween Squashies?

Customers can look forward to eating the Sour Apple, Strawberry and Orange sweets but they’re only available until stocks last as the sweets have launched for Halloween.

Squashies Squeletons can be bought in major supermarkets including Asda, Sainsbury’s and Morrisons as well as B&M, Home Bargains and convenience stores across the UK now.

The sweets have an RRP (recommended retail price) of £1.15 per bag and have the same foamy, soft texture as traditional Squashies.

Fans shared their excitement as Swizzles announced Squashies Squeletons, with one commenting on its Instagram post: "Omg need these!!"

🥤 Coke Zero Oreo: Closer to Vanilla Coke than Oreo, but still a very decent effort for a change.

Another one said: "YES PLEASE".

An account on X, formerly Twitter, put the new sweets to the test and described them as "class as always".

They added: "Never trust someone that doesn't love Squashies IMO."

This Halloween, Swizzles will also be offering sweet fans its popular vegan-friendly Variety Bags, featuring Scrumptious Sweets, Luscious Lollies and Curious Chews.

They’re priced from £1.25 and they contain individually wrapped treats so they’re ideal for parties, spooky gatherings and sharing with trick-or-treaters.

If you’re looking for a bigger shareable treat with individually wrapped sweets, the Swizzels Sweet Shop Favourites Tub is a bestseller at Halloween.
