The Makers of SKIPPY Peanut Butter Introduce P.B. Fruit Bites

Just in time for back to school, the makers of SKIPPY peanut butter announced today the launch of SKIPPY P.B. Fruit Bites, a line of bite-sized real dried fruit covered in a delicious, smooth coating made with real SKIPPY peanut butter.

"We took the classic peanut butter and jelly flavor and created a convenient, on-the-go snack, combining the undeniably smooth taste of SKIPPY peanut butter and real dried fruit," said Aly Sill, brand manager at Hormel Foods. "We are thrilled to introduce SKIPPY P.B. Fruit Bites as the next member of the iconic SKIPPY peanut butter family of products and a perfect snack for peanut butter and jelly lovers across the country."

Made with a real dried fruit center, SKIPPY P.B. Fruit Bites come in two varieties: strawberry-flavored dried cranberry and dried grape - providing the classic taste of peanut butter and jelly in one bite.

Portable and poppable, SKIPPY P.B. Fruit Bites are available in 4 oz. resealable pouches, offering a perfectly-sized snacking solution with 4 grams of protein.

Found in the peanut butter aisle, SKIPPY P.B. Fruit Bites (MSRP $3.29 - 3.69) are available in select retailers across the country.
