Mondelēz reveals its Hallowe’en-themed confectionery

Mondelēz International is helping retailers build excitement for the 2021 Hallowe'en season with a scarily good line-up, set to capitalise on the return of this seasonal opportunity.

Despite the challenges lockdown brought to last year’s Halloween season, Mondelēz International grew its Hallowe'en market share, with the occasion proving itself a valuable season for convenience retailers. As we move closer to normality, it is important retailers take advantage of the full return of the season this year and create some excitement for their shoppers.


Over Hallowe'en, shoppers will look to embrace returning to the rituals missed during last year’s spooky season, such as buying products for trick or treating or for hosting a family Hallowe'en party. Retailers should stock up on the MDLZ range, including self-eat and sharing products across confectionery and biscuits, to tap into these occasions, offering products for consumers to enjoy independently or to share.

New to this season are Mini OREO Spooky Bags – which are larger packs filled with eight treatsize bags containing Mini OREO, the world’s number one cookie . The pack-size means the product is great for both Trick or Treating and Hallowe'en parties too. As well as this, Spooky OREO Rollpack will be available nationwide, which has OREO’s tasty sandwich biscuit filled with a creamy vanilla flavour centre, combined with a spooky Halloween design. Cadbury Skeleton Fingers are also making a return, adding a seasonal touch to a Cadbury’s classic.

Confectionery will be the must-have category of Hallowe'en 2021 , with this year seeing the return of the popular Cadbury Goo Heads, available in Creepy Skeleton, Pumpkin, Frankenstein, Dracula or Werewolf variants. The strikingly-packaged Cadbury Goo Heads are available individually (40g), in a pack of five – which was the number one traditional Hallowe'en SKU of 2020 - or in a 78g bag of Mini Goo Heads, offering value and convenience to customers.

Cadbury Oreoooo will also return for Hallowe'en 2021 in the form of a 72g bag of Oreo Mini Filled Eggs, with Hallowe'en branding designed for strong standout on shelf. The product will help retailers to drive impulse purchases of sharing novelties in the Hallowe'en segment.

As well as this and new for the season, both Cadbury Oreooo and Cadbury Goo Heads bags will be available with cupboard clip strips for retailers (which are 100 per cent recyclable), increasing the opportunity for purchases throughout a store.

In addition to these products, Mondelēz International Cadbury Treatsize bags are available. The full portfolio includes Cadbury Family Treatsize - which was the number-one chocolate treatsize bag last season - and Freddo and Friends Treatsize, which both comprise an assortment of Cadbury favourites, perfect for trick-or-treaters. Cadbury Crunchie Treatsize, Cadbury Dairy Milk Buttons Treatsize and Cadbury Fudge Treatsize all offer a great addition to Hallowe'en parties at home.
