The chocolate bars come in three options including Madagascar Vanilla Bean, Madagascar Plantain & Sea Salt and Madagascar Fleur de Sel, which are all made with 100% traceable ingredients. Priced at $7.99 each, the chocolate bars are rustically packaged to convey the small-batch nature of the product within and focus on the true quality of the ingredients therein. Founder and CEO Tim McCollum commented on the Beyond Good small-batch chocolate bars saying, "Brands launch new items for all sorts of reasons. We launched our small batch bars to stretch and push a couple of boundaries. We wanted to stretch the concept of local sourcing, [and we] wanted to push the boundaries of how much flavor we could deliver to our consumers through a single bar of chocolate." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 14% | Activity: 14% | Freshness: 13% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Marketing](https://www.trendhunter.com/marketing) > [Branding](https://www.trendhunter.com/branding) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Local Sourcing:** Opportunities for businesses to explore and emphasize locally sourced ingredients in artisanal products. - **Traceability and Transparency:** Opportunities for businesses to meet consumer demand for traceable and transparent sourcing of high-quality ingredients. - **Flavor Innovation:** Opportunities for businesses to experiment with and push boundaries on flavor innovation in small-batch artisanal products. ### Who This Affects Most - **Chocolate Industry:** Opportunities for chocolate manufacturers to differentiate their products and meet consumer demand for ethical and quality ingredients. - **Artisanal Food Industry:** Opportunities for artisanal food businesses to explore local sourcing of high-quality and unique ingredients to create differentiated products. - **Gourmet Food Industry:** Opportunities for gourmet food businesses to explore flavor innovation and differentiation in small-batch artisanal products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Heirloom Cocoa Bean Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beyond-good-microbatch-collection.md) - [Bite-Sized Artisan Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/singleserve-chocolates.md) - [Microbatch Chocolate Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beyond-good.md) - [High-Quality Mini Truffle Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-truffle-bars.md) - [Fine Art-Covered Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/m-cacao-artbars.md) - [Extravagant Chocolate Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/extrtavagant-chocolate.md) - [Beneficial Botanical Chocolate Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yes-cacao-bars.md) - [Textural Artisan Chocolate Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gnaw-chocolate-bars.md) - [Nutrient-Packed Chocolate Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolove-bars.md)
