June is National Candy Month, and there’s more than one way to enjoy your favorite candy.

Make s’mores with your favorite chocolate bar.

Top an ice cream sundae with M&Ms.

Chop peppermint patties and mix them into yogurt or ice cream.

And now: turn them into filling for doughnuts. That’s what HI-CHEW did.
 
 
THE DOUGHNUT PROJECT X HI-CHEW

The immensely fruity, intensely chewy candy brand teamed up with New York City’s The Doughnut Project to celebrate their pouch of Fruit Combos (photo #3).

The result: Strawberry Squeeze, a one-of-a-kind doughnut that highlights the latest HI-CHEW flavor, Strawberry Lemonade (photos #1 and #2).

The doughnut creation is available for a limited time:

Thursday, June 17th through Saturday, June 19th at The Doughnut Project’s West Village location (10 Morton Street, New York City).

The first 10 customers to purchase a Strawberry Squeeze doughnut each day will receive a free HI-CHEW Fruit Combos Standup Pouch.

Pouch notwithstanding, these doughnuts are a real treat, filled with two different pockets of creamy fruit flavors that comprise Strawberry Lemonade:

 
There’s a sweet lemon curl on top.

If you love a doughnut with one filling, imagine the thrill of two!

Covered with a red glaze, they are works of art!

And may we say…DEE-licious!

Where there is candy, there is happiness. Where there are doughnuts, there are equal happiness, too.

So even if you can’t get to The Doughnut Project to buy some, and don’t have the chops to make your own filled doughnuts (join the club!), think of ways to include HI-CHEW in your other foods.

ABOUT HI-CHEW

Earlier this year, HI-CHEW launched a new Fruit Combos Standup Pouch, featuring individually wrapped Tropical Smoothie, Piña Colada and new Strawberry Lemonade. As the winner of the 2020 HI-CHEW Fantasy Flavor Games, Strawberry Lemonade continues to grow in fanfare and excitement.

The history of Morinaga, the manufacturer of HI-CHEW, stretches back more than a century when company founder Taichiro Morinaga brought his candy making skills to Japan from Americas. HI-CHEW has long been the best-selling soft candy in Japan.

And then, the chewy candy came to the U.S. It’s currently offered in Açaí, Apple, Banana, Grape, Green Mango, Kiwi, Sweet & Sour Watermelon and Strawberry.

Other flavors are available in combo bags:

 
HI-CHEW is made with concentrated fruit juices and is 100% free of gluten, cholesterol and synthetic colors. The brand continues to expand, offering new fruity, chewy flavor annually.
