2026 Mystery Mix: The Year of More Mystery
Cayce BowserMystery Mix has always been fun.
But in 2026, we’re turning it into even more of a guessing game.
This year, you may find clear pieces with no color clues.
You may taste flavors we’ve never officially released.
You may discover something you’ve never had from us before.
Mystery Mix isn’t just constantly changing anymore — it’s intentionally more mysterious.
What Is Mystery Mix?
We make all of our candy in small batches.
Every time we make a pound of candy, we end up with a little bit left over.
Instead of throwing those extra pieces away, we mix all those little bits together — and that becomes Mystery Mix.
It’s a blend of whatever we’ve been making recently.
Because of that, it’s constantly changing and you never know what you are going to get.
It reflects what’s happening in our kitchen in real time.
New for 2026: Dye‑Free Clear Pieces
We now offer certain flavors as a dye-free option.
When we make a pound of a dye-free flavor for an order, the leftover pieces from that batch go straight into the Mystery Mix — just like any other batch we make.
That means you might come across a completely clear piece in your Mystery Mix.
And here’s where it gets fun: that clear piece could be many different flavors, depending on what people have been ordering.
No color clues.
No hints.
Just flavor.
This is one of the big ways Mystery Mix is becoming even more mysterious in 2026.
Also New for 2026: Surprise Flavors
Over the years, we’ve ordered flavors to try for new blends, possible limited editions, or ideas we were experimenting with — and some of them were never officially released.
Instead of letting those flavors sit on the shelf, we’re making them and adding them straight into Mystery Mix.
Flavors like mango, walnut, tropical punch, and others you won’t find listed on our website.
These are not year-round flavors.
They are not sold individually.
They are simply showing up in Mystery Mix.
To keep the guessing game fun, these never-before-seen flavors will also be made clear and added into our already colorful Mystery Mix.
How to Spot the New Pieces
Our dye-free option is only available in hand-cut pieces.
So if you find a clear hand-cut piece, you know it will be one of our regular year-round flavors that we already make and sell.
But if you find a clear piece that tastes like something you’ve never had from us before… you may have just discovered one of our surprise flavors.
In 2026, Mystery Mix isn’t just random.
It’s a surprise waiting to happen.
A Mystery Mix Challenge is Coming!
We’re planning a fun contest where we’ll ask you to post your Mystery Mix on Facebook and/or Instagram using the hashtag #MysteryNat.
More details will be coming soon, so get ready to taste, guess, and share!
The 2026 Mystery Mix is more fun, more surprising, and more mysterious than ever. With dye-free clear pieces and never-before-seen flavors, every bag is a guessing game that’s always changing.
Hard Tack N’at — Tastes like you remember.
