These novelty bacon sprinkles take inspiration from a chocolate version originating from Holland. Traditionally Hagelsalg is a Hollander sweet chocolate sprinkle that can be added as a topping to a variety of foods. Now thanks to Kristian Van Kuijk you can purchase a [savory meat alternative](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/streaky-beef-bacon) in the form of bacon sprinkles. A box comes with a bag filled with sliced bacon cut into tiny rectangular bits. A handful of fried and dried Bacon Hagelslag would be the perfect addition to [salads, pizzas and sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pepperoni-confetti) for an added crunch. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.4/10 - Popularity: 2% | Activity: 2% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Meat Toppings:** Creating new flavors of meat toppings for a variety of dishes. - **Novelty Toppings:** Expanding the horizon of unusual toppings for food products. - **Pre-packaged Meals:** Developing pre-packaged meals with unique and interesting toppings to attract consumers. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food Manufacturing:** Production of new and innovative toppings for pre-packaged meals. - **Fast Food Chains:** Creating new menu items with these novelty toppings to attract consumers. - **Online Retail:** Making these novelty toppings available for purchase on online stores to reach a larger audience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Flavor-Packed Bacon Bites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pork-clouds.md) - [Savory Cinnamon Bacon Strips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-label-cinnamon-toast-bacon.md) - [Plant-Based Bacon Crumbles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crumbled-bacon-toppings.md) - [Cereal-Flavored Bacon Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-label-cinnamon-toast-crunch-bacon.md) - [Candied Bacon QSR Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hardees-candied-bacon.md) - [Cinnamon-Bacon Cereals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinnamon-toast-crunch-bacon.md) - [Pre-Cooked Vegan Bacon Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bacon-snack-factory.md) - [Ready-to-Eat Plant-Based Bacon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crispy-bacon-style-strips.md) - [Sour Bacon-Flavored Candies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sour-punch-bacon-bites.md)
