(Honolulu)– Hawaiian Host®, the leader in premium chocolate-covered macadamias, is proud to present its brand new line of Snoopy edition products, which will be exclusively available this March in travel retail shops T Galleria by DFS, Hawaii and DFS, Hawaii Daniel K. Inouye International Airport. This latest collection comprises both creamy milk chocolate as well as rich dark chocolate covered macadamias — all artfully packaged in playful Snoopy-themed designs. Snoopy and Peanuts fans will love the thoughtfully created illustrations which feature Snoopy “living aloha,” from images of him driving with the top down with sidekick Woodstock to trying to catch a wave on his surfboard.
“Expanding our licensed portfolio with the new Snoopy designs has been one of those projects you can really enjoy and have fun with,” says Theresa Tuxhorn, Director of Global Marketing for Hawaiian Host. “We combined our signature product with carefully chosen illustrations to create a light-hearted gift from Hawai‘i that not only tastes delicious but also appeals to customers of all ages because of its fun designs.”
Snoopy and the rest of the Peanuts gang have been fan favorites since the Peanuts comic strip premiered in seven U.S. newspapers in 1950. Whether he’s being his loveable self or portraying his Joe Cool persona, the beloved beagle has made his way into becoming a pop-culture icon. And thanks to Hawaiian Host, travelers can take a box of these delightful chocolate-covered macadamias back with them as gifts and souvenirs. Boxes are available in various sizes as well as in multipacks. To celebrate the launch, DFS Hawaii shoppers have a chance to take home a limited-edition Snoopy tote with purchase (promotion subject to change).
