At this year’s Sweets & Snacks Expo, Mount Franklin Foods introduced a few new brands of its own, including Sweet Valley Organics, which makes organic fruit snacks.
The brand offers products like Dark Chocolate Tart Cherries, Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Toffee Almonds and Dark Chocolate Chewy Bananas, each of which are simultaneously decadent and better-for-you snack options. These fair trade fruit snacks were specifically developed for "chocolate aficionados who prefer their snacks to be as certifiably delectable as they are organic." As such, the pouch packaging designs for the products call out the exclusion of GMO ingredients, as well as other "weird stuff."
The indulgent organic fruit snacks offer an elevated take on simple fruit, as well as a healthier approach to many other chocolate-covered confections.
