Butterfinger Green Apple Smash is officially coming in Summer 2027, pairing Marvel’s Hulk with one of Butterfinger’s strangest flavor experiments yet. Ferrero has now confirmed the limited-edition candy after early images began circulating among snack fans, as the customreceipt.com editorial team notes.
The announcement removes some of the mystery surrounding the green bar. Ferrero presented the product during the 2026 NACS Show in Las Vegas on October 7.
What is Butterfinger Green Apple Smash?
The new candy keeps Butterfinger’s familiar peanut-buttery identity but introduces a green apple theme.
Ferrero’s official announcement describes Green Apple Smash as a new flavor featuring Hulk imagery. However, the company has not yet published a complete ingredient or flavor breakdown.
Early promotional images suggest a bright green coating surrounding the familiar crunchy center. Exactly how strong the apple flavor will be remains unknown.
Here is what Ferrero has confirmed so far:
- Product name: Butterfinger Green Apple Smash
- Marvel character: Hulk
- Release window: Summer 2027
- Status: limited-edition innovation
- Market campaign: part of Ferrero’s wider Marvel collaboration
The rollout is therefore larger than a single Butterfinger promotion. Several Ferrero brands will receive Marvel-themed products during Summer 2027.
Hulk is part of a much bigger Marvel candy lineup
Green Apple Smash was unveiled alongside Crunch Infinity Chocolate featuring Loki.
Ferrero also announced Tic Tac Berry & Lime with Mister Fantastic. Kinder Joy will receive Marvel collectible toys.
Kinder Chocolate packs will include collectible cards featuring 20 different character designs.
| Product | Marvel connection | Planned release |
|---|---|---|
| Butterfinger Green Apple Smash | Hulk | Summer 2027 |
| Crunch Infinity Chocolate | Loki | Summer 2027 |
| Tic Tac Berry & Lime | Mister Fantastic | Summer 2027 |
| Kinder Joy | Marvel collectible toys | Summer 2027 |
The campaign will include special packaging, retail displays, social promotion and influencer activity.
Why does Butterfinger taste like green apple?
That question still has no complete official answer.
The combination sounds unusual, but apple and peanut butter are already a familiar snack pairing. Butterfinger simply pushes that idea into candy-bar territory.
Food publication Delish reported divided reactions from fans. Some readers were intrigued, while others questioned whether green apple belongs anywhere near Butterfinger.
The discussion also spread through snack-focused social accounts, including Markie Devo.
Is Green Apple Smash connected to Avengers: Doomsday?
Ferrero has announced the candy as part of its broader Marvel collaboration. It has not described Green Apple Smash as an Avengers: Doomsday product.
That distinction is significant. Avengers: Doomsday arrives months before the planned Summer 2027 candy release.
For now, Hulk appears to be the character chosen specifically for Butterfinger’s green experiment.
When will Butterfinger Green Apple Smash be available?
Ferrero currently gives only a Summer 2027 release window. An exact launch date and participating retailers have not been announced.
The company calls the product limited edition. That suggests availability could vary significantly between stores once distribution begins.
