The Hershey Company has expanded its Dot’s Pretzels portfolio with a new snack product, Dot’s Original Snack Mix.

The mix marks the first time Dot’s signature Original seasoned pretzel twists have been incorporated into a snack mix format. According to Hershey, the product combines four components designed to deliver varied textures and flavours.

Dot’s Original Snack Mix includes Original seasoned mini pretzels, Original seasoned corn cereal, cheese-seasoned pita chips and garlic rye chips.

Eric Bowers, VP of salty marketing at Hershey, said: "Dot's has never been about blending in. We believe snacks should feel crafted, surprising, and worth reaching for. Dot's Original Snack Mix brings that same bold mindset to every handful: no filler, no letdowns, it's a bold combination of snacks that create the ultimate Snack Mix."

The product is rolling out at retailers across the US and will be available in 31oz, 14oz and 4.4oz packs.
