The Hilo-based confectionary previously created two variations on the Japanese sweet—swapping out the traditional bean paste with chocolate and pineapple—and found widespread popularity among locals in Hawaii. This spurred the addition of the newest flavor featuring rich, creamy peanut butter encrusted in a crispy cookie shell. The 6 oz. box will contain eight individually wrapped pieces.
“People just love our manju,” says Sherrie Holi, President and Chief Operating Officer. “We released three frozen, bake-at-home flavors during the pandemic, which were met with overwhelming demand, and decided to add a third already-baked version for those who prefer immediate gratification.”
