Chocolate-Flavored Corn Candies

These Chocolates for Halloween Put a Spin on a Seasonal Favorite

— October 28, 2016 — Lifestyle
One of the most interesting new confectionery products on the market is Brach’s Sea Salt Chocolate Candy Corn, which puts a fresh twist on both candy corn and chocolates for Halloween.

The flavored candy corn treats boast dark brown bodies and white tips, as well as a new salty-sweet flavor that comes from real honey.

Inspired by the influence of foodie culture, consumers are now looking for more hybrid food products than ever, so that they will be able to enjoy a mix of new and familiar flavors all at the same time. Earlier this year, Brach's caught the eyes of consumers with its unique brunch-inspired candy corn flavor, which was launched early in the fall, well before the arrival of Halloween.
Trend Themes
1. Hybrid Confectioneries - The rising trend of hybrid flavors in foodie culture presents opportunities for creating unique and innovative candy products.
2. Salty-sweet Flavor Combinations - The trend of combining salty and sweet flavors in confectioneries can be leveraged to create new chocolate products with unique taste profiles.
3. Seasonal Themed Flavors - The popularity of limited edition, seasonal-themed flavors among consumers presents an opportunity for innovation and experimentation in the confectionery industry.
Industry Implications
1. Confectionery - Innovations in chocolate candy products, particularly those that incorporate hybrid flavors and seasonal themes, can provide a competitive edge for confectionery companies.
2. Food and Beverage - By following the trend of the hybridization of flavors, food and beverage companies can create new products that appeal to the adventurous taste preferences of modern consumers.
3. Packaged Goods - Creating limited edition, seasonal-themed packages of hybridized confectionery products may provide opportunities for manufacturers to increase revenue and consumer engagement.
