Mall of America® welcomes Sweet Crunch Tanghulu, a modern twist on a timeless treat

BLOOMINGTON, MN — November 12, 2025

Mall of America^® is delighted to announce the opening of Sweet Crunch Tanghulu, a modern dessert brand bringing a beloved Chinese delicacy to today’s food lovers.

Tanghulu is a fresh fruit skewer coated in a crisp rock-candy glaze that has been enjoyed for centuries as a symbol of happiness, prosperity, and celebration. Sweet Crunch Tanghulu brings this traditional favorite to life with a refreshing, modern twist serving vegan, gluten-free, and additive-free treats that are as beautiful as they are delicious.

Guests can indulge in popular flavors such as shanzha (Chinese hawthorn, the original sweet-tart classic), strawberry, grape, blueberry, mandarin orange, and mixed fruit. Each skewer combines a satisfying crunch with the juicy sweetness of fresh fruit, offering a snack that feels both nostalgic and new.

Packed with vitamin C, antioxidants, fiber, and other essential nutrients, Tanghulu is more than a treat, it is a flavorful, feel-good experience. Sweet Crunch Tanghulu preserves the natural colors and textures of each fruit without artificial additives or dyes.

“Sweet Crunch Tanghulu’s innovative take on a traditional dessert perfectly complements the variety and global flavors our dining options offer,” said Ashley Hofmann, Leasing Director at Mall of America. “It’s always exciting to introduce guests to something new, especially when it connects culture, creativity, and great taste.”

Sweet Crunch Tanghulu is set to open this holiday season on Level 3, West. For more information on new and coming soon retail, dining, and attractions at Mall of America, visit https://www.mallofamerica.com/shopping/new.
