The [bite-sized chocolate drops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/proteinpacked-chocolates) have space on the inside for a functional filling that contains orange-flavored guarana. Free from added sugars, the [functional chocolate drops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/muze-cacao) are made with [dark chocolate](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dark-chocolatecovered-snacks) and packaged in pouches for sharing and solo snacking. The brand also creates milk chocolate drops with a peanut filling and white chocolate drops with a hazelnut filling, although the Energy Drops stand out as the only vegan option. These functional chocolates speak to consumers who want to mindfully indulge and receive a boost from ingredients like proteins, vitamins and minerals. With these chocolate drops, Leone, an ice cream manufacturer, is branching outside of the freezer section. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 54% | Activity: 72% | Freshness: 10% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Functional Chocolate:** Leone introduces AL!VE Energy Drops, a functional chocolate treat that caters to health-conscious consumers. - **Portable Functional Foods:** AL!VE Energy Drops offer a convenient and energy-boosting snack that can be taken on the go. - **Vegan Snacks:** Leone's Energy Drops, the vegan offering in the AL!VE line, meet the growing demand for vegan snack options. ### Where This Applies - **Chocolate Manufacturing:** Leone's AL!VE Energy Drops demonstrate opportunities for innovation in the functional chocolate market. - **Food Packaging:** The pouch packaging for AL!VE Energy Drops appeals to consumers' on-the-go lifestyle, and brands can capitalize on this trend. - **Snack Manufacturing:** Functional snacks like AL!VE Energy Drops show promise in the snack food industry and offer opportunities for brands to differentiate themselves. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Convenient Caffeinated Dark Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zenevo-driving-energy-dark-chocolate-berry.md) - [Energizing Chocolate Bites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolates-for-energy.md) - [Energy-Boosting Caffeinated Chocolate](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charge-chocolate.md) - [Functional Truffle Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/truffle-chocolates.md) - [Superfood-Infused Chocolate Bites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superfoodinfused-chocolate-bites.md) - [Functional Chocolate Truffles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/functional-chocolate-truffle.md) - [Everyday Functional Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/functional-chocolate-co.md) - [Energizing Matcha Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-delights.md) - [Adaptogenic Dark Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/limited-edition-dark-chocolate.md)
