HI-CHEW has reimagined its fruity chewy candy into a new frozen form. HI-CHEW Pops have arrived in two classic flavors: Grape and Strawberry. The frozen, vibrant, colored treats also have a creamy, silky center reminiscent of ice cream.

It may be a little difficult to get your hands on these, unless you're a Costco member in the San Francisco Bay Area. HI-CHEW Pops are only available while supplies last at select Costco locations in the San Francisco Bay Area. If you get lucky and snag them, you get two boxes for around $15.

Do these flavors live up to the candy versions?

I would have to say yes, these live up to the candy version. The strawberry has a vibrant, juicy flavor with a firm texture. It bursts with a sweet, slightly tart taste that closely mimics the real fruit. The grape pop is sour like a Concord grape, with a long-lasting flavor. It’s a fun and fruity candy that a lot of people really like. I can see why it's a fan favorite. I really liked the pops, but the creamy center is my favorite part.

HI-CHEW has put out many flavors of candy over the years in different variations, but I never expected them to make a popsicle.

As a longtime fan of the candy, I knew upon hearing the news, I needed to get my hands on a sample. Right now, these tasty frozen treats are only available at select Costco's in the Bay Area, but fingers crossed, they’ll be hitting shelves in more places soon. With the weather heating up, they’re the perfect way to cool down.

What candy or popsicle flavor would you love to see next? Personally, I think a Hi-Chew flavored drink would be refreshing and tasty. They've already created candies inspired by drink flavors, so why not flip the script? That fruity, juicy taste would make for a fun and refreshing beverage.
