Good Humor Candy Center Bar Review

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. We tasted the updated version during that return.

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 combination of a crisp coating and softer center brought back the original bar’s nostalgic appeal, with hazelnut adding a different flavor.

While Halloween often steals the spotlight for sweet treats, the Candy Center Bar’s revival is positioned around the 2024 holiday season. In our 2024 tasting, the hazelnut-flavored center, sweet vanilla frozen dessert, and chocolatey shell made this a very sweet novelty. Whether it appeals to kids or adults depends on individual tastes.

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.
