Bethenny Frankel's Skinnygirl empire keeps on growing! The Real Housewives of New York City star just launched a line of candy, which includes various confections like chocolate truffles, chocolate bars, chocolate-covered almonds, and gummies. In honor of her candy launch, Bethenny stepped out at any event at Dylan's Candy Bar sporting fiery red hair.

The event took place on January 26 where she was joined by her RHONY pal, Carole Radziwill.

Don't worry, Frankel has not abandoned her signature brown locks, as she confirmed to Us Weekly that the look is only temporary. "It's a wig," she said of the color, which she described as "Skinnygirl red." "I had been wanting to [go red] and then today was such a great excuse. A gentleman named Tokyo [Stylez, who makes Kylie Jenner's wigs] … made it for me. He's lovely."

With that cleared up, elsewhere she explained why she wanted to go into candy. "I think I saw a void [in the market],” Bethenny told People. “Every woman I know has a sweet tooth and most women I know have PMS or they get emotional and they want chocolate […] It’s low calorie and they’re delicious; people are obsessed with them. And I don’t think there’s really anything else out there like that — especially with such quality. There’s a lot of chocolate, but it feels like junk food.”

The treats come ready for consumption in 100-calorie packs. “Portion control is huge,” she said. “I don’t believe in fake; I believe in good quality ingredients. I’d rather have less of something really good than a lot of something fake. I think those little portioned packets are just very female.”
