Tootsie Pops has brought back its best seasonal flavor!
How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop? Probably zero, if you’re trying the limited edition Candy Cane Tootsie Pops. Because if you’re anything like us, you’ll inhale them in just one bite.
Do Candy Cane Tootsie Pops Really Taste Like Candy Canes?
Yes! The hard candy shell of each lollipop tastes like peppermint and even looks just like a candy cane, sporting red and white stripes. Don’t worry, there’s a chewy Tootsie Roll smack dab in the center, too.
The flavor combo reminds us of DQ’s Peppermint Hot Cocoa Blizzard.
How Long Will Candy Cane Tootsie Pops Be Available?
The Candy Cane Tootsie Pops will only be available until the end of the holiday season. Due to the fact that they’re so darn cute (and delicious), the official Tootsie website is unable to guarantee 1-3 day shipping since the festive sweets are in “high demand.” They’re still available at select retailers like Target and Walmart, though, and you can also purchase them on Amazon.
Each bag of Candy Cane Tootsie Pops comes with 15 treats, making it a great gift for family and friends. Or you can use the lollipops as a stocking stuffer. You could also just eat the entire bag, honestly. We promise we won’t judge!
