Kellanova has introduced a new addition to their snack lineup: Club Crisps flavored with Mike’s Hot Honey. This product marks the first-ever flavor collaboration for the brand, combining the light, buttery texture of Club Crisps with the signature sweet-heat profile of Mike’s Hot Honey, which is made from 100% pure honey infused with chili peppers. The result is a snack that promises a balance of sweetness and heat, catering to the growing consumer interest in ‘swicy’—sweet and spicy—flavors.
The new Club Crisps with Mike’s Hot Honey are available for a limited time at retailers nationwide, starting in May 2024. Each 7.1-ounce bag is priced at an SRP of $3.99. Consumers looking to try this unique flavor combination can find the product at various retail locations and are encouraged to visit the Club Crackers website for more information on where to purchase.
