FLIPZ and TURTLES are best-selling chocolate covered pretzels and original caramel nut clusters in the North American market, featuring only the finest ingredients to deliver sweet and crunchy perfection.
Beanstalk will also seek new opportunities for the brands across close-to-core food categories including beverages, desserts, ice cream, baked goods, snacks and baking products as well as gifting, bakeware, housewares and publishing among other categories. It will also seek in-restaurant partnerships that would feature the brands on menu items.
