Good news, “swicy” fans: You’re about to have another treat to try that balances a sweet, familiar candy with an iconic (and spicy!) flavor profile. Swicy food and drink items have been, well, everywhere lately, mixing flavors that bring the heat with sugar’s sweetness to create concoctions that wake up your taste buds in a manner, à la hot honey.

And now, a new collaboration between Huer and Frank’s RedHot is turning up the heat on gummy bears, taking them from adorably sweet to straight-up swicy.
The Huer x Frank’s RedHot Collab
Huer, a beloved Canadian confectionary brand, is bringing a new kind of sweet treat to life with the help of Frank’s RedHot, an iconic American hot sauce brand. (But don’t worry—this one-of-a-kind collab doesn’t involve dunking gummy treats into hot sauce!)
Huer and Frank’s RedHot have created a very on-trend candy: Spicy Gummy Bears. Inspired by the classic act of seasoning fresh fruit, these gummies are meant to take classic sweet, fruit-like flavors and elevate them with a little hit of heat.
And although the combination of gummy bears and Frank’s RedHot sauce might seem surprising, it’s a layered bite. At first, you’ll taste the juicy fruit flavors of the gummy bears themselves (which include familiar favorites like cherry, pineapple, and mango). Then, thanks to an exterior dusting of authentic Frank’s RedHot Original Seasoning Blend, you’ll wake up your mouth with spicy cayenne pepper and a hint of garlic. They’re bright but warm, tangy but still totally sweet.
This isn’t the first time Huer has teamed up with a beloved sauce brand—or jumped on a still-rising food trend. The candy-making company has also created fun spins on classics with Cholula Chamoy Tropical Gummy Rings. So, if Frank’s RedHot is a sauce you love, you’ll want to get your hands on Huer’s other swicy collabs, too.
