The “Salty Peanut Butter Malt Ball” candy made famous in the iconic _Saturday Night Live_ sketch starring Alec Baldwin, Ana Gasteyer and Molly Shannon, will jump from the TV screen to the candy aisle.

On the heels of a successful [collaboration with Ben & Jerry’s](http://time.com/2902315/ben-jerrys-introduces-two-new-snl-themed-ice-cream-flavors/), _SNL_ has partnered with the candy company It’Sugar to make Schweddy Balls in honor of the late night show’s [upcoming](http://variety.com/2014/tv/news/nbc-to-celebrate-40th-anniversary-of-snl-with-3-hour-special-1201159568/) 40th anniversary next year, [_USA Today_](http://www.usatoday.com/story/popcandy/2014/08/04/snl-itsugar/13588065/?AID=10709313&PID=6151680&SID=vcgs7fck7m2l)and[_Eater_](http://eater.com/archives/2014/08/06/schweddy-balls-have-gone-from-onenote-joke-to-real-food-item.php)report.

More than 50 other fictional snacks and novelty gifts culled from _SNL_ sketches and digital shorts will also become a tasty reality, according [to _USA Today_](http://www.usatoday.com/story/popcandy/2014/08/04/snl-itsugar/13588065/?AID=10709313&PID=6151680&SID=vcgs7fck7m2l). In addition to the balls you “can’t wait to get your mouth around” the product line will also include high-fiber Colon Blow Cereal, Stefon’s Pop n’ Rock Party Bars, Debbie Downer mints, Night at the Roxbury-themed chocolate bars and Schmitts Gay Beer.

The items will be available at It’Sugar locations, as well as [online](http://www.itsugar.com) starting September 13, so you can stock up and give all the trick-or-treaters Schweddy Balls for Halloween.
