Undercover Snacks created a simple, texture-rich snack by combining quinoa with pomegranate and chocolate, offering a treat that's not only nutritious but indulgent and full of flavor. The Dark Chocolate + Pomegranate snack is like a better-for-you version of chocolate bark, as it only features 130 calories and eight grams of sugar per serving, all in a formula that features 100% Rainforest Alliance Certified cocoa, non-GMO ingredients and a free-from formula that appeals to many.
All Undercover Snacks are created to be school-safe, allergy-friendly, free from peanuts and tree nuts and certified gluten-free. This year, Undercover Snacks' Dark Chocolate + Pomegranate flavor has been selected as a NEXTY Awards Finalist in the Best New Sweet or Dessert category.

What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Nutritious Indulgence
- There's an opportunity for the creation of guilt-free snacks that satisfy cravings while still being healthy.
- Allergy-friendly Foods
- Developing snacks that are free from common allergens can open up new markets and tap into a growing demand for safe food options.
- Eco-friendly Ingredients
- Using sustainable and responsibly-sourced ingredients in snacks can appeal to environmentally conscious consumers and help differentiate products in a competitive market.
Sectors Adopting This
- Healthy Snacks
- Brands can create healthier versions of classic snacks by using less sugar, using natural ingredients, and including superfoods like quinoa and pomegranate.
- Allergy-friendly Foods
- The allergy-free food industry offers a variety of opportunities, including creating healthy snacks that are free from common allergens like peanuts, tree nuts, gluten, dairy, etc.
- Sustainable Food
- As consumers become more aware of their carbon footprint, companies can create products that emphasize the use of eco-friendly ingredients to appeal to conscious consumers.
