With a growing number of consumers looking for cleaner and less-processed versions of their favorite food products, these candies are likely to appeal to health-conscious shoppers. The candy-coated chocolates from Little Secrets are made without the use of any artificial colors, flavors or ingredients. Instead, the company opts for [Fair Trade](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tcho-lemon-twist) chocolate, plant-based dyes and natural sweeteners to make its delicious products. Although designed as a [better-for-you snack option](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unreal-halloween-pack), Little Secrets still delivers delicious flavors such as Toasted Coconut, Sea Salted Peanut and Raspberry. Available in single-serve packets or shareable bags, the GMO-free candies are a great choice for consumers looking for a more natural snack option. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 55% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% 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 ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Clean Ingredient Foods:** The growing number of consumers looking for cleaner and less-processed foods presents an opportunity for companies to develop products made with all-natural ingredients. - **Health-conscious Snacking:** Catering to health-conscious shoppers seeking better snack options can lead to the development of candy-coated chocolates made without artificial colors, flavors, or ingredients. - **Gmo-free Products:** The increasing demand for GMO-free products creates an opportunity for candy brands to develop all-natural candies that are appealing to consumers who prioritize clean eating. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Confectionery:** The confectionery industry can capitalize on the trend of clean ingredient foods by offering candy-coated chocolates made with all-natural ingredients. - **Snack Foods:** In the snack foods industry, companies can tap into the trend of health-conscious snacking by creating candy products that are made without artificial additives and provide natural flavors. - **Food Manufacturing:** The food manufacturing industry can embrace the demand for GMO-free products by incorporating all-natural ingredients in the production of various food products, including candies. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [DTC Clean Label Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/simply-candy.md) - [Organic Nut-Based Candies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/candy-pieces.md) - [Non-Glycemic Chocolate Bites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nebula-snacks.md) - [No-Added-Sugar Chocolate Candies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rainbow-chocolate-candies.md) - [Minimal-Ingredient Chocolate Almonds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/covered-almonds.md) - [Free-From Halloween Candies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yumearth-sour-littles.md) - [Dairy-Free Crispy Chocolate Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crispy-bites1.md) - [Organic Fruit-Sweetened Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-west-chocolate.md) - [Plant-Based Low-Sugar Candies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-thingz.md)
