Here are some of the most interesting new treats arriving in stores across the United States this summer.

✨ Dippin’ Dots Are Coming to Grocery Freezers

Dippin’ Dots are no longer reserved for amusement parks, movie theaters and sporting events.

New grocery-friendly multipacks are beginning to appear in select freezer aisles. The regular ice cream cups come in:

• Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

• Cookies ’n Cream

• Ultimate Brownie Batter

  
  

There are also layered Dippin’ Dots Sundaes in:

• Cool Mint Crunch

• Banana Split

• Cookies ’n Cream

• Cotton Candy

  
  

The sundae versions combine Dippin’ Dots with traditional ice cream, sauces and other toppings. Look for them in select grocery stores, including participating Kroger-family retailers.

✨ Nutella Ice Cream and Nutella Ice Cream Cones

Nutella has officially entered the U.S. freezer aisle in two different forms.

Nutella Ice Cream comes in a 14-ounce container with creamy hazelnut-cocoa ice cream, layers and swirls of real Nutella and plenty of different textures.

Nutella Ice Cream Cones feature Nutella ice cream and swirls of the famous spread inside a crispy sugar cone. The cones come in four-packs and are individually sized for an easy frozen treat.

Look for both at Walmart and other grocery, convenience and mass retailers as distribution continues to expand.

✨ Pokémon Goldfish

Goldfish crackers have teamed up with Pokémon!

The limited-edition crackers include fun Pikachu and Poké Ball shapes mixed with the familiar Goldfish crackers. Some packages also feature favorite Pokémon characters, including Pikachu, Squirtle and Bulbasaur.

Look for Pokémon Goldfish at Target, Walmart, Sam’s Club and other major snack retailers while supplies last.

✨ Welch’s Real PB&Js

Welch’s is entering the frozen sandwich aisle with its own take on the classic peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

Welch’s Real PB&Js are larger frozen sandwiches made with creamy peanut butter and Welch’s fruit spreads. The first flavors include:

• Concord Grape Jelly

• Strawberry Jam

• Mixed Fruit Spread

  
  

Six-count boxes are beginning to appear at select Walmart stores, with wider distribution expected later.

✨ Hot Pockets Snack Breaks

Hot Pockets has created a smaller snack for those moments when you do not want a full meal.

Hot Pockets Snack Breaks are warm, bite-size snacks with flavorful fillings and seasoned outer crusts. Varieties being introduced include savory options inspired by cheddar crackers and nacho-flavored snacks, along with sweeter treats inspired by gooey apple pie.

Look for them in the frozen aisle at Walmart and other major grocery stores as the rollout continues.

✨ Lay’s World Cup-Inspired Chips

Lay’s created dozens of World Cup-inspired flavors around the world, but only three are being released in the United States:

Brazilian-Style Garlic Sauce

Inspired by Brazil’s creamy molho de alho, these chips combine garlic, buttery flavor, cheese and a light touch of lemon.

Wavy French Onion Soup

Ridged chips seasoned with savory onion, aged cheddar and herbs inspired by a warm bowl of French onion soup.

Argentinian-Style Steak With Chimichurri

A returning flavor combining savory steak seasoning with the bright garlic, cilantro and herb flavors associated with chimichurri sauce.

The three limited-edition varieties are available at major U.S. retailers through the World Cup season.

✨ Boulder Canyon Sweet & Spicy Chili Tortilla Chips

Boulder Canyon has a new tortilla chip with a sweet, spicy and slightly tangy chili seasoning.

The chips are cooked in avocado oil. The large 17-ounce bags are appearing at Sam’s Club, with availability depending on the individual club.

✨ Sour Patch Kids Chews

Sour Patch Kids Chews turn the familiar candy inside out.

Instead of having sour crystals coating the outside, these soft, chewy candies hide little bursts of crunchy sour sugar inside. You begin with a sweet chew and then suddenly reach the sour center.

Look for them at Target, Sam’s Club and other major candy retailers.

✨ Nerds Peach Strawberry Candy

Nerds is pairing two fruity flavors—peach and strawberry—in new candy releases.

The combination is expected to appear in products such as Nerds Gummy Clusters and Nerds Rope, bringing sweet strawberry together with a softer peach flavor.

This collection has been previewed for U.S. stores, but the full national rollout is still upcoming.

✨ Reese’s Pieces With Chocolate Cookie

Reese’s Pieces is receiving its first major U.S. addition in a decade.

The new candy combines peanut-butter flavor with a crispy chocolate-cookie center and the familiar crunchy Reese’s Pieces shell.

Pouches begin arriving nationwide on July 17, 2026, with king-size packages expected later in the year. Online ordering through Hershey begins July 25.

✨ Airheads Xtremes Mega Bites

Airheads is celebrating its 40th anniversary with bigger pieces of sour candy.

Airheads Xtremes Mega Bites combine two flavors in every oversized bite. The first announced pairing is Cherry and Blue Raspberry.

The candies will be available nationwide in 5.5-ounce and 8.5-ounce bags beginning this winter.

✨ Ring Pop Wedding Collection

Ring Pop is leaning into the fact that its famous candy already looks like a colorful engagement ring.

The new Ring Pop Wedding Collection was previewed at the 2026 Sweets & Snacks Expo. It could be an adorable addition to:

• Engagement parties

• Bridal showers

• Bachelorette parties

• Wedding favors

• Proposal celebrations

  
  

The collection has been announced and displayed, but it has not yet received a confirmed nationwide store date. We will be watching for it because this may be one of the cutest candy ideas of the year.

✨ New Ghirardelli Premium Milk Chocolate Bars

Ghirardelli is introducing three new premium milk chocolate bars:

Premium Milk Chocolate

A smooth and creamy milk chocolate bar with a rich cocoa flavor and balanced sweetness.

Premium Milk Chocolate Sea Salt Almond

Milk chocolate filled with roasted almonds and a touch of sea salt for a sweet-and-salty crunch.

Premium Milk Chocolate Caramel Crisp

Creamy milk chocolate mixed with crunchy caramel pieces and crisped rice.

The bars are rolling into Walmart, Target, Kroger-family stores, CVS and Walgreens, along with online retailers.

New Drinks and Soda Flavors

✨ Dr Pepper Creamy Coconut Returns

Dr Pepper Creamy Coconut is back for another limited summer run.

It combines the familiar Dr Pepper flavor with smooth, tropical coconut. It is available in both regular and Zero Sugar versions.

Look for it at Walmart, Target, Fry’s and other major soda retailers while supplies last.

✨ Sprite Chill Mango Citrus

Sprite Chill Mango Citrus combines lemon-lime soda with tropical mango and the cooling sensation used in the Sprite Chill line.

It was released as a Walmart exclusive in regular and Zero Sugar versions.

✨ 7UP Endless Summer Mandarin Orange

7UP Endless Summer Mandarin Orange adds juicy mandarin-orange flavor to the classic lemon-lime soda.

Both regular and Zero Sugar varieties are being offered through Kroger-family stores.

✨ Monster Strawberry Lemonade

Juice Monster Strawberry Lemonade combines strawberry flavor with tart lemonade and the energy-drink formula Monster fans already know.

The summer release is appearing at convenience stores, Walmart, Target and other major beverage retailers.

✨ Bubly Melted Ice Pop

Bubly Melted Ice Pop sparkling water returns with a flavor inspired by the classic red, white and blue frozen treat.

The unsweetened sparkling water blends cherry, lime and raspberry flavors without turning the drink into a sugary soda.

Look for the limited summer flavor at major grocery and mass retailers.

✨ Snack Pack × Dr Pepper

This is not Dr Pepper pudding—it is even stranger!

Snack Pack and Dr Pepper have teamed up to create Dr Pepper Flavored Juicy Gels. The jiggly gelatin cups are designed to capture the soda’s famous blend of 23 flavors in a spoonable snack.

The collaboration comes in four-count packs and is currently appearing at Target and other major grocery retailers. Dr Pepper has been showing up in all kinds of unusual collaborations lately, including Tic Tacs and even food seasonings.

More New Frozen Treats and Grocery Finds

✨ GoodPop’s French Fry Ice Cream Pop

GoodPop has created a frozen treat inspired by the strangely delicious habit of dipping salty french fries into a chocolate milkshake.

The Fudge N’ Vanilla French Fry Pop brings vanilla frozen dessert and chocolate-fudge flavor together with a salty-sweet twist.

Look for it in the frozen-dessert section at participating Whole Foods Market locations.

✨ Clio Drizzled Greek Yogurt Bars

Clio has added colorful drizzled Greek yogurt bars in dessert-inspired flavors, including:

• Strawberry Dream

• Strawberry Banana Milkshake

• Raspberry Cotton Candy

  
  

The bars combine creamy Greek yogurt with a chocolate-style coating and decorative drizzle.

We cannot wait to try that Raspberry Cotton Candy flavor! The large multipacks have been appearing at Sam’s Club, while other Clio flavors can be found at Target and major grocery stores.

✨ Trader Joe’s Wildberry Cheesecake Ice Cream

Trader Joe’s has combined sweet-cream ice cream with a mixed-wildberry swirl and pieces of cheesecake.

This seasonal pint is available at Trader Joe’s for a limited time, so it may disappear when the summer supply is gone.

✨ Trader Joe’s Spicy Queso

Trader Joe’s has turned up the heat on its creamy white queso.

The new Spicy Queso contains jalapeños and chipotle-pepper purée, giving it a smoky kick that should be perfect with tortilla chips, tacos, nachos or roasted potatoes.

Find it in the refrigerated section at Trader Joe’s.

✨ Trader Joe’s Peach Black Tea Concentrate

This new concentrate blends black tea with real peach juice.

Add water and ice for a quick pitcher of peach tea, or use it in lemonade, sparkling drinks, mocktails and summer cocktails.

It is available for a limited time at Trader Joe’s.

✨ Torani Dirty Soda Syrups

Dirty soda has become one of the biggest drink trends of summer.

The basic idea is simple: combine soda with flavored syrup, cream or non-dairy creamer and sometimes fresh citrus. Torani syrups make it easy to experiment at home with flavors such as coconut, vanilla, lime, blue raspberry, peach and strawberry.

Torani syrups are available through Torani, Walmart, Amazon and restaurant-supply retailers. You can also find many of the flavors in grocery-store coffee aisles.

✨ Fly By Jing Roasted Garlic Noodles

Fly By Jing is best known for Sichuan chili crisp, but its new Roasted Garlic Noodles offer a milder choice.

The noodles come with a savory roasted-garlic sauce that delivers plenty of flavor without the intense heat found in some of the brand’s other products.

Look for them at Whole Foods Market and through Fly By Jing online.

New Adult Drinks

✨ Cuervo Ready-to-Drink Cocktails

Cuervo has released a new line of sparkling canned cocktails made with real Cuervo tequila.

The flavors are:

• Classic Margarita—with tart lime and a light fizz

• Paloma—with grapefruit, lime and a tangy finish

• Strawberry Margarita—with strawberry and zesty lime

• Pink Lemonade—with raspberry, strawberry, orange and lemon

  
  

The cocktails contain 5.9% alcohol and are available in variety packs and individual flavor packs at participating liquor stores and alcohol-delivery retailers.

✨ Buffalo Trace Bourbon Lemonade

Buffalo Trace has created a ready-to-drink Bourbon Lemonade made with Buffalo Trace bourbon and real lemon juice.

There is one important catch: it is currently available only at the Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky. Visitors can sample it and purchase four-packs from the distillery gift shop.

This is one to watch in case it eventually receives a wider release. And we hope it does!

A New Costco Bakery Find

✨ Kirkland Signature Pretzel Bagels

Costco has combined a chewy bagel with the dark outer crust and salty flavor of a Bavarian-style pretzel.

The new Pretzel Bagels come in eight-count packages and can be used for breakfast sandwiches, burgers, deli sandwiches or simply toasted with butter or cream cheese.

They are beginning to appear at Costco warehouses nationwide, although availability varies by location. Since Costco has not said whether they will be permanent, you may want to grab them when you see them.

Coming Soon to U.S. Stores

A few of the products we are most curious about are not fully available nationwide yet:

• Airheads Xtremes Mega Bites: Arriving nationwide this winter.

• Nerds Peach Strawberry candies: Previewed for an upcoming U.S. rollout.

• Ring Pop Wedding Collection: Announced and displayed, but a nationwide release date has not been confirmed.

• Welch’s Real PB&Js: Beginning at select Walmart stores before a broader expansion.

• Hot Pockets Snack Breaks: Rolling into more frozen aisles throughout summer.

• Dippin’ Dots grocery multipacks: Expanding gradually into participating U.S. grocery stores.

  
  

One more major collaboration to watch is the upcoming Oreo Reese’s Cookie and Reese’s Oreo Cup, which bring two of America’s biggest snack brands together. The products combine Oreo cookies with Reese’s peanut-butter flavor and Reese’s cups with Oreo cookie pieces.

We will keep watching the grocery aisles for more unusual foods, nostalgic flavors and surprising collaborations.
