Halo Top melts into frozen yogurt treats
Low-calorie dessert maker Halo Top is entering another new category: frozen yogurt pops.
Halo Top’s Frozen Yogurt Bar It’s basically a snack of Icelandic skyle yogurt on a stick. Made with frozen yogurt but also containing chunks of fruit and granola, Pops comes in two flavors: Blueberry, Raspberry, and Strawberry Triple His Berry and Strawberry.
“Our fans know and love our ice cream and other frozen dessert options, but they can always count on it for all the fun of Halo Top plus an explosion of protein and flavor.” We wanted to provide a snack that was delicious,” Halo Top brand manager Pete Gargula said in a statement. “His Skyr-style frozen yogurt in Iceland His pop was the perfect solution.”
Halo Top, once the best-selling pint ice cream brand in the United States, has jumped into a new category as sales of its once meteor ice cream have dwindled. In 2020, the brand launched its own ice cream his bar. A year later, Halo Top started making frozen fruit popsLast year it launched a pint of Reduced sugar fruit sorbet.
Halo Top Frozen Yogurt Bars are the second big innovation of the year for the brand owned by Wells Enterprises. In 2023, Halo Top looks to expand the brand further from its ice cream roots, launching baking mixes in January and now its frozen yogurt his bars. Halo Top currently does not have any other frozen or chilled yogurt options.
Not many brands have entered the frozen yogurt bar space. The only widely distributed bar in the space is made by Yasso, the leader in frozen Greek yogurt treats, but mostly in more indulgent flavors such as birthday he cake and chocolate he chip he cookie dough. . Nestlé-owned and Fronelli-licensed Outshine previously had a line of healthier yogurts His Pops, but they’ve been discontinued.
Wholesome treats are Halo Top specialties. There’s not much that feels extravagant about frozen versions of healthy yogurt snacks, but that might be the point. Sometimes I enjoy a snack that feels like it.

Unique Snacks puts a new twist on pretzels
Unique Snacks has spent most of its history making pretzel snacks, but today, the six-generation family business is bringing insight into new categories not far from its roots.
The Pennsylvania-based food manufacturer is moving into other snack categories through the introduction of an all-new option called Puffzels, a combination of puffs and pretzels.
This gluten-free, non-fried snack is made from puffed corn and oats and shaped into a pretzel. “Delightful Pretzel Crunch” snacks come in his four flavors: Honey Mustard, Aged His Cheddar, Wild His Buffalo, and Homestyle (Garlic and Butter).
“It was a fun challenge to live up to the Unique Snacks brand name. We wanted to create a new snack that was unlike anything else on the market.
The 100-year-old company says it hasn’t changed much in how it makes pretzels since its inception. It still uses five main ingredients and eschews added sugar to prove pretzels. I’m speeding up.
Puffzels allow Unique to take advantage of the growing demand for both puffs and pretzels while bringing a new dimension to the popular snack category.
The $36 billion savory snack category is dominated by companies such as PepsiCo, which has brands such as Doritos and Cheetos, and recent entrants such as confectionery maker Hershey, which has purchased brands such as SkinnyPop popcorn and Dot’s pretzels. monopolized by
As wealthy giants use their innovative strength and marketing expertise to grow their market share, smaller players like Unique are finding new ways to grab consumer attention through products like Puffzels. You have to find novel ways.
