Trader Joe's is serving up breakfast for dessert with its new Bacon & Eggs Shaped Sweet Gummy Candies.
Perfect for the candy connoisseur in your life (which just might be you), the new Bacon & Eggs Shaped Sweet Gummy Candies are a whimsical take on classic gummy candies. Each package features an assortment of sunny-side-up egg-shaped gummies, as well as little pieces of pink-ish bacon-shaped gummies. But while these may look like your favorite breakfast foods, they definitely don't taste that way. Each gummy is distinctly sweet with the "egg" gummies tasting more like mango, and the "bacon" gummies tasting more like cherry. Best of all, "there’s no pork involved—these Bacon & Eggs Shaped Gummy Candies are gelatin-free," explains Trader Joe's.

What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Whimsical Food-inspired Confections
- Gummy candies taking playful cues from breakfast foods like bacon and eggs are bringing a new level of creativity to the candy aisle.
- Gelatin-free Sweets
- Candy products that eliminate animal-derived ingredients, such as gelatin-free gummies, are appealing to both vegetarians and ethically-conscious consumers.
- Flavor Profile Innovation
- Introducing unconventional flavor pairings, like eggs that taste like mango and bacon that tastes like cherry, provides consumers with surprising and novel taste experiences.
Sectors Adopting This
- Candy Manufacturing
- The introduction of fun, thematic candy sets like breakfast-themed gummies pushes boundaries in candy production and appeals to niche markets.
- Plant-based Foods
- Gelatin-free gummy candies represent the growing trend towards plant-based alternatives in the confectionery industry.
- Novelty Food Products
- Creating edible products that mimic the appearance of popular non-sweet foods provides an avenue for innovation in the novelty foods sector.
