Initially launched in 2022, the Minions Banana & Blueberry Squashies have steadily grown in popularity, proving lucrative for retailers. This success has prompted Swizzels to evolve the packaging in time for the latest film’s release, now featuring three different Minion character designs.

Available in 120g bags, the Minions-themed Squashies are offered in price-marked packs 110g (RSP: £1.15) and come in 12 cases per SRP. Retailers and wholesalers can benefit from seasonal displays provided by the sweet maker, themed around Illumination’s latest film. 

Swizzels’ Minions range includes:
