NERDS Gummy Clusters
Winner of the Sweets & Snacks 2021 ‘Best in Show’ Award, Gummy Clusters debuted in 2020 and became a beloved innovation among fans for its key features – Rainbow NERDS surrounding and accentuating a fruity gummy centre.
Building on the product's success, NERDS introduced the first flavour extension for Gummy Clusters in 2021 with Very Berry. Beyond Gummy Clusters, NERDS continues to break through in the market with transformational innovations including NERDS Candy Corn, and unique collaborations such as its recent one with Dungeons & Dragons.
