Consumer demand for small desserts and snacks is continuing to increase with brands responding with products like the new Mr Kipling Gooey Brownie Bites. The snack bites come in two flavors including Salted Caramel and Double Chocolate, which are both crafted with a rich brownie base for a decadent touch. After being paired with their namesake flavor, the brownies are covered in a thick coating of milk chocolate and come in boxes of 10 servings to support portioned enjoyment.
Brand Director for Sweet Treats at Premier Foods Mathew Bird commented on the launch of the Mr Kipling Gooey Brownie Bites saying, "We are excited to be expanding this popular range with brownies – and our first ever Signature Collection bite-sized treat – that will meet growing demand for evening indulgence and increase penetration with younger consumers."
