PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Frankford Candy, the leader in the licensed confections and gifts industry, in collaboration with Warner Bros.

The new candy bar joins the existing PEBBLES™ cereal candy bar lineup that includes a Fruity PEBBLES™ Candy Bar with a cereal milk flavor and a milk chocolate Cocoa PEBBLES™ Candy Bar with a robust cocoa flavor.

"The PEBBLES™ cereal brand has been a colorful and flavorful source of inspiration for kids and kids-at-heart for 50 years," said Leah Broeders, head of licensing at Post Consumer Brands. "Frankford Candy is a trusted partner, and it's been fun to collaborate with them to take the PEBBLES™ cereal brand beyond the cereal bowl and to keep our 50th birthday celebration going with this new birthday-cake-inspired candy bar."
