From a distance you could mistake these pint-sized treats for runaways from a dollhouse dining set, but you would be blissfully wrong. Thankfully these little beauties are not made of plastic, they are in fact delicious, so scarf away. Comprised of a dollop of white chocolate adorned with a single yellow M&M and a pretzel stick broken in half, these Bacon and Egg Candies are irresistibly salty and sweet. Unlike most cute desserts, these kitschy, kooky treats don't require fine motor skills or a Type A personality to pull off. Simply dot white chocolate along on a piece of parchment paper, plunk your [candy and pretzels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2025-easter-treats) on top and leave to set. Playful, charming and cute to boot, these sunny side up sweets are the bee's knees. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 15% | Activity: 30% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Kitschy Desserts:** The rise of kooky, playful, and kitschy desserts is disrupting the traditional dessert industry by offering dessert lovers a new and unique experience. - **Combination Flavors:** Combination flavors like salty and sweet are disrupting the traditional flavor profiles in the sweets industry by providing consumers new and unexpected taste experiences. - **DIY Desserts:** DIY dessert trends are disrupting the packaged candy industry by inspiring consumers to create their own personalized and unique treats at home. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Dessert Industry:** The dessert industry is being disrupted by the rise of new and unique dessert trends like kitschy desserts, combination flavors, and DIY desserts. - **Packaged Candy Industry:** The packaged candy industry is being disrupted by DIY dessert trends as consumers turn to making their own personalized and unique treats instead of purchasing pre-made candy products. - **Food Blogging Industry:** The food blogging industry is being disrupted by the rise of playful and kooky dessert trends being featured on social media and popular blogs, inspiring followers to share and recreate these innovative recipes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Breakfast-Inspired Easter Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-egg-easter.md) - [Easter Popcorn Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ms-fried-egg-choccorn.md) - [Candied Bacon QSR Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hardees-candied-bacon.md) - [Caramelized Organ Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zotter-chocolates-brains-eggs.md) - [Cereal-Studded Easter Eggs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rice-krispies-milk-chocolate-eggs.md) - [Pancake-Based Breakfast Taco](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bacon-egg-and-cheese-pancake-tacos.md) - [Sour Bacon-Flavored Candies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sour-punch-bacon-bites.md) - [Chocolate Yolk Easter Buns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dippy-egg-filled-hot-cross-buns.md) - [Breakfast-Flavored Dog Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheesy-over-easy-dog-treats.md)
