Candy Hunting - New Products from Wrigley

This is the first of several posts detailing the new confectionery offerings that I learned about at the Sweets & Snacks Expo. Wrigley has a multitude of new products they will be introducing within the next year. While most of the introduction dates are listed as 2015, Wrigley and Mars products have a tendency to appear on shelves months before their intended release. For example, Skittles Desserts and Starburst Fruity Slushies were available in Fall 2013, while their introduction date is technically 2014.
