3 MUSKETEERS® Gives Fans a Reason to Celebrate with Debut of New Birthday Cake Flavor

HACKETTSTOWN, N.J., Oct. 10, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- 3 MUSKETEERS® is releasing the brand's first new flavor in six years – Birthday Cake. The candy bar features vanilla-flavored nougat and colorful sprinkles covered in rich milk chocolate. Available this month at Walmart, the product will roll out nationally in January 2019.

"The birthday cake flavor is a growing trend and one that we knew would be a perfect center to the iconic 3 MUSKETEERS bar," said 3 MUSKETEERS Brand Manager, Rosemary Nocito. "Our mission is to spread small moments of joy with our fans and this latest flavor brings that celebratory feeling to the everyday."

3 MUSKETEERS Birthday Cake will be available in a Share Size bar (2.14 oz.) and Miniatures Stand Up Pouch (8.4 oz., approximately 28 pieces).

In addition to launching 3 MUSKETEERS Birthday Cake, the brand will continue its #ThrowShine campaign, encouraging teens across the country to spread moments of positivity and kindness among their peers – giving props instead of throwing shade.
