Mike and Ike -Stocking Stuffers

It's Christmas Eve Eve... yes, that's a real thing (at least in my world!) Ü It's officially last minute!

Still searching for a few stocking stuffers or just need a little sweet to get you through the last push to the finish line? Well, let me tell you about Mike and Ike Candies! Most of us have heard and hopefully tasted Mike and Ikes! They are delicious! Well, right now they have some seasonal varieties!

They have a Merry Mix that is green and red colored, perfect for those holiday parties. The flavors are Cherry, Lime, and Holiday Punch. I particularly liked the Holiday Punch flavor. Is it rude to pick out all the dark green ones?

How about Mike and Ike Minion Mix? There are three different box designs all featuring those cute minions. The flavors are banana and blueberry. My son liked blueberry the best, I went bananas for banana!

Is spicy more your thing? Then how about Ho Ho Ho Hot Tamales! a 5 oz box of sizzling sweetness!
