Good Humor Brings Back the Iconic Candy Center Bar

The Candy Center Bar Returns

In late 2024, Good Humor revived the Candy Center Bar, a frozen treat tied to 1990s ice-cream-truck nostalgia. This article reflects that 2024 return and our tasting of the updated version.

Flavor and Texture

This updated version of the Candy Center Bar features a rich chocolatey center with a touch of hazelnut, encased in creamy vanilla frozen dessert and finished with a decadent chocolatey coating. In our tasting, the sweetness and crunch worked well together. The result is a treat that feels both retro and refreshingly new—a true “new-stalgic” experience.

While Halloween often steals the spotlight for sweet treats, the Candy Center Bar’s revival is positioned around the 2024 holiday season. Whether served as an alternative to pie or as a fun addition to a holiday dessert spread, these bars are an easy way to bring a little joy to the table. Their rich, chocolatey hazelnut core is decadent enough for adults, while the creamy vanilla and chocolate shell will win over kids in an instant.

Nostalgia and Availability

Good Humor’s decision to bring back this fan-favorite is a reminder that some classics never go out of style—they just need a little reinvention. The updated flavor profile stays true to the bar’s nostalgic roots while offering a subtle sophistication that fits today’s palates.

The Candy Center Bar was announced as a Walmart-exclusive national release at the time, making it easy to stock up for Thanksgiving and beyond. Whether you remember chasing the ice cream truck for one in the 90s or you’re discovering it for the first time, this revamped version may appeal to shoppers who remember the original.

The Candy Center Bar remains in Good Humor’s current lineup in 2026, so the 2024 revival did not end as a one-season return. Current retailer stock can still vary by location.
