Ghirardelli Chocolate Company has announced the nationwide return of its seasonal Jack O'Lantern chocolates across US retail and club channels ahead of the autumn trading period.
Featuring pumpkin-moulded milk chocolate shapes, the limited-time collection reintroduces core caramel fillings alongside autumn fruit flavour profiles. The seasonal deployment enters the market as confectionery brand owners continue to target early holiday purchasing and trade-up opportunities across household snacking and Halloween candy bowl occasions.
The portfolio is available in standard 4.1-ounce retail bags alongside dedicated club-sized formats designed for bulk purchasing across wholesale club networks.
Lineup and Flavour Profiles
The seasonal lineup introduces two filled milk chocolate options alongside a multi-flavour variety pack:
🍎 Milk Chocolate Caramel Apple Jack O'Lanterns: Milk chocolate filled with caramel and crisp, tart apple flavour notes, packaged in a 4.1 oz bag at a suggested retail price (SRP) of US$7.99.
🍮 Milk Chocolate Caramel Jack O'Lanterns: Milk chocolate filled with a smooth, buttery caramel centre, offered in a 4.1 oz bag at an SRP of US$7.99.
🍫 Chocolate Assortment Jack O'Lanterns: A multi-product sharing mix combining Milk Chocolate Caramel, solid Milk Chocolate, and Milk Chocolate Caramel Apple in a 4.1 oz bag at an SRP of US$7.99.
Bobby Oliver, Vice President and Head of Marketing at Ghirardelli Chocolate Company, stated that chocolate remains an integral part of seasonal traditions, adding that the Jack O'Lantern shapes provide a festive adaptation of the company's core recipes.
Retail Distribution
To capture higher-volume household entertaining and party occasions, Ghirardelli is deploying the Chocolate Assortment Jack O'Lanterns across dedicated wholesale club sizes:
Costco Wholesale: Formatted in a large 15.2 oz bag configuration for club shoppers.
Sam's Club and BJ's Wholesale Club: Packaged in a 12.4 oz multi-serve bag format.
Mass and Grocery Channels: Distributed nationwide in standard 4.1 oz retail pouches at an SRP of US$7.99.
The dual-tier packaging strategy enables the manufacturer to address both self-treat impulse purchasing and multi-serving household entertaining across primary grocery and club channels.
Ghirardelli Jack O'Lantern chocolates have commenced commercial availability across major US grocery, mass, and club retail stockists, remaining available for a limited time throughout the autumn season while supplies last.
