If you’re a fan of Skittles, you might want to sit down—because this news will blow your mind. No, the brand isn’t reviving Zombie Skittles (although we’re not even sure we want them to), but this news is totally epic. Like, we’re ready to taste the rainbow in a cool new way.
The brand is releasing sour Skittles ice cream bars, and we cannot possibly calm down. Here’s everything we know about these brand-new treats!
What’s in the Sour Skittles Ice Cream?
These desserts sound delightful—if you’re a fan of sour food, that is. The bars are described as “fruity flavour ice cream with candies, wrapped in a sour fruit sorbet.” In other words, fruity ice cream studded with sour Skittles, wrapped in more sour sorbet! So at least two of the three components here are sour, which we’re totally OK with.
It looks like every package only contains three bars, so we’re guessing the sour is pretty powerful. It sounds like a mouth-watering treat!
Where Can I Buy Them?
OK, we have bad news. Right now, it looks like these are limited to the U.K. only. (They get all the good stuff, right?!) It’s not clear when they’ll hit stores in the U.S., but we certainly hope it’s soon.
If you’re desperate to chomp on Skittles in frozen form, there is a silver lining. Earlier this year, the brand came out with Skittles ice pops—they come in packs of 10, with strawberry, green apple, orange and grape all included in one pack. And yes, those are available in the United States.

Talk about playing with your food! Edible color spray lets you create ombre and color blends unlike any other decorating technique. To re-create my ombre lines, hold a sheet of paper over desired sections as you spray to layer the color. —Shannon Roum, Cudahy, Wisconsin

Homemade Oreo-style cookies are pretty great on their own, but they're even better when you add graham cracker crumbs to the cookie dough, stuff them with marshmallow creme, and then roll them in sprinkles. You can change the color of the sprinkles depending on the holiday or occasion you're baking them for. —Colleen Delawder, Herndon, Virginia
