The candy aisle is about to get sweeter, thanks to Nerds Gummy Clusters. While it was rumored that the new candy would be coming out soon, Best Products can now exclusively confirm that they are indeed on their way to shelves.

The Nerds Gummy Clusters consist of crunchy mini Nerds around a sweet gummy center. The poppable treats include the Nerds Rainbow variety, which includes strawberry, grape, orange, and lemonade, so there will be no shortness of flavor.

You will start seeing the new Nerds Gummy Clusters on shelves in August 2020, and they’ll be more widely available in October, a Nerds rep told us. The candy will come in a 3-ounce Share Pouch, 3-ounce Value Peg, 3-ounce Theater Box, 5-ounce Medium Peg, and 8-ounce DOY sizes.

Best Products got a sneak peek of Nerds’ latest offering ahead of its release, and we can say that they are ridiculously tasty. The combination of crunchy Nerds and a gummy center makes it an addicting snack, so beware once you open the bag.

Calling everyone with a sweet tooth! Ferrara Candy Company’s Nerds come in a range of flavors, and a box of those crunchy candies goes a long way. Now the brand is reportedly coming out with a new variety of the candy that combines crunchy and gummy.

The new Nerds Gummy Clusters have the same idea as Nerds Rope, the chewy, fruity string that is covered in Nerds. The bite-sized clusters aren’t in a long string, however, and are basically little bundles. What’s great is that you can easily pop when in your mouth and get the crunchy and chewy textures.

Instagram account @junkfoodleaks_ was the first to unveil the anticipated treat. While the company hasn’t confirmed that they’re actually happening, this is the same account that spilled the beans on the Kit Kat Birthday Cake bars, Chips Ahoy! Sour Patch Kids Cookies, and Fudge Brownie M&M’s. Since all of those ended up on shelves, we have faith that the Nerds Gummy Clusters will make their way to stores soon enough.

“Nerds Gummy Clusters are a new addition to the easy to grab lineup of snacks found at your local convenience store,” the caption says. According to the packaging, which might not be the final look, the candy has a sweet and gummy inside, and a tangy and crunchy outside.

It’s almost strange that the clusters are just coming out now, since they seem like a natural evolution from the Nerds Ropes. Plus, these seem much easier to eat now that you don’t have to bite through them or rip them apart. We’re definitely excited for them to get here!
