In fact, the Easter treats are called 'Nutritional Chocolate Eggs.' A pack of Nutritional Chocolate Eggs contains 12 solid, colorfully wrapped egg shapes that are made with a base of 85% Belgian chocolate and a total of flavors that includes Orange, Raspberry Crisp and Mint Crisp. These [gluten-free chocolate eggs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lindt-easter-range) boast a high amount of Vitamin E and fiber, and promise "no sugar spikes" because they include "low-glycemic, tooth-friendly sugars" like isomaltulose and galactose. Outside of Easter, Dr. Coy's also offers products like chocolate bars, chocolate-covered almonds and other confections with a similar focus on health. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 17% | Activity: 28% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Nutritional Easter Treats:** Opportunity for producing more healthy and nutritious Easter candy and confections. - **Low-glycemic Sweeteners:** Opportunity for developing new products utilizing low-glycemic sweeteners like isomaltulose and galactose. - **Health-focused Confections:** Opportunity for expanding product lines with additional health-focused chocolate products and confections. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Confectionery Industry:** Opportunity for companies to stand out by offering healthier, nutritional candy and confections. - **Health and Wellness Industry:** Opportunity for health and wellness companies to expand into the confectionery market with healthier options. - **Food and Beverage Industry:** Opportunity for food and beverage companies to incorporate low-glycemic sweeteners into their products to appeal to health-conscious consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Vegan-Friendly Chocolate Eggs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salted-caramel-chocolate-egg.md) - [Low-Sugar Easter Gummies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/low-sugar-easter-candies.md) - [Carob-Based Easter Eggs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-free-easter-eggs.md) - [Vegan Easter Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salted-caramel-easter-egg.md) - [Luxurious Eco-Friendly Easter Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxury-giant-milk-chocolate-egg.md) - [Textural Flat Easter Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gnaw-chocolate-eggs.md) - [Filled Chocolate Easter Eggs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/filled-chocolate-easter-eggs.md) - [Artisan Flavor Easter Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/happi-easter-eggs.md) - [Ethical Easter Chocolate Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coxco-cacao.md)
