Tayto has introduced a limited-edition Candy Floss crisp for the summer of 2026, shifting the brand momentarily toward a sweeter flavour profile. Priced at €1.25 a packet, the novelty combines sugary notes with the brand’s signature savoury seasoning and will be on shelves only for a short time.
Sweet meets savoury in a fairground-inspired flavour
The new release is described by Tayto as “straight from the fairground” and promises “nostalgic candy floss sweetness with a sprinkle of savoury magic and sealed the whole taste adventure into a bag of Tayto crisps.” The company says the flavour is aimed at shoppers who enjoy a sweeter snack experience alongside the familiar crisp bite.
A visual departure for the pack
Tayto’s mascot appears prominently on the front of the bag, depicted holding an oversized stick of Candy Floss. The packet design adds a band of baby pink to the brand’s usual colour palette — a departure from the bold reds, navy and light blues commonly used on other flavour varieties.
Limited run for summer shoppers
The Candy Floss crisp is being offered as a seasonal, limited-edition product. At €1.25 per packet, the item is positioned as a low-cost novelty for the summer months and is likely to appeal to consumers looking to try a new flavour without a big commitment.
What this means for consumers
As with other seasonal Tayto releases, availability may vary between retailers. Shoppers curious to sample the flavour should look for it while stocks last.
