Mars’ 2027 snack lineup also includes Buffalo Wild Wing Pringles and Skittles Gummy Crystals
While the rest of us are busy stockpiling Halloween candy, Mars is already looking to next year. The company just previewed its upcoming snack lineup, including a protein-packed Cheez-It, Buffalo Wild Wings-flavored Pringles, and a new Twix Frosted Cookie made without the caramel layer.
Mars will showcase its new salty-and-sweet snacks at the 2026 NACS Show in Las Vegas, Oct. 7-9. (They’ll be at booth #N2605 if you’re in town.) Most are expected to hit shelves nationwide next year, while Skittles Gummy Crystals will launch early via TikTok Shop.
“The true magic of Skittles lies in delivering the unexpected,” Ro Cheng, Marketing Vice President, Mars Snacking North America, said in a press release. “Skittles Gummy Crystals answers the growing demand for dynamic, multi-textured treats by pairing a soft gummy center with a crystal crunch — giving fans an entirely new way to experience the rainbow.”
What’s coming in Mars’ 2027 snack lineup
- Cheez-It Protein: The classic cheese cracker is getting a functional upgrade. Each serving has 7 grams of protein, along with the sharp cheese flavor and crunch Cheez-It fans expect.
- Pringles Buffalo Wild Wings: Pringles is partnering with Buffalo Wild Wings on three sauce-inspired flavors: Parmesan Garlic, Medium Buffalo, and Asian Zing.
- COMBOS Honey Sriracha: Mars is filling its baked pretzel shells with a sweet-and-spicy honey sriracha center. This one sounds like it was made for the “I’ll just have one more” crowd.
- M&M’S Peanut Butter Cinnamon Roll: Smooth peanut butter meets cinnamon-roll flavor inside M&M”s familiar candy shell. It’s giving breakfast dessert, and we’re not mad about it.
- Twix Frosted Cookie: This new Twix has a shortbread cookie base, then adds a vanilla-flavored crème and a milk chocolate coating. Unlike the original, there’s no caramel layer.
- Skittles Crystals: This is the one to watch. The new candy combines soft, squishy gummies with tangy, crunchy edible crystals, so every bite has that chewy-meets-crunchy thing people clearly cannot get enough of right now (we get it). It’ll come in Original and Tropical Splash varieties, and fans can get an early-access bundle exclusively through TikTok Shop starting Nov. 2, while supplies last. After that, it’ll arrive at select retailers before going nationwide in 2027.
- Snickers Almond Xtreme: The new bar layers extra almonds with caramel and milk chocolate, giving it a nuttier, chewier bite than the original.
