Haggis, the national dish of Scotland, is a [savory pudding](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hot-chocolate-spoon) made with the organs of a sheep or a calf that's mixed with onion, suet, oatmeal and spices, and stuffed into an animal stomach then boiled. Coco Chocolatier's new "modern reflection on haggis" features a base of single-origin 60% cacao dark chocolate from Colombia that is accented by nutmeg, allspice, cloves and pepper for a savory finish. As the dark chocolate bar features just some of the spices that are used in the making of the iconic type of pudding, the [vegan-friendly and gluten-free chocolate](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/viva-las-vegan-chocolate-truffles) appeals to a wide range of people who want a different experience of the dish. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 72% | Activity: 47% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [World](https://www.trendhunter.com/world) > [Regional](https://www.trendhunter.com/regional) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Vegan-friendly Chocolate:** Opportunity for candy companies to create innovative chocolate bars that cater to vegan consumers. - **Alternative Flavor Combinations:** Potential for candy companies to experiment with unique flavor profiles that challenge traditional expectations. - **Ethnic-inspired Treats:** Possible market for candy companies to create confections that draw inspiration from traditional dishes and flavors from different cultures. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Candy Manufacturing:** Disruption opportunity for candy manufacturers to create products that cater to specific dietary preferences and restrictions. - **Artisan Chocolate:** Potential for artisan chocolate makers to experiment with unconventional ingredients and flavor pairings to create unique and highly sought-after products. - **Ethnic Food Products:** Market potential for food companies to introduce ethnic-inspired treats and snacks that offer a modern twist on traditional flavors. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Zesty Spiced Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cocotutti-chocolates.md) - [Casserole-Inspired Chocolate Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gourmet-chocolate-bar.md) - [Spicy Umami Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/momofuku-chili-chocolate-crunch.md) - [Mexican Chocolate Marshmallow Bites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mexican-hot-cocoa-bites.md) - [Zesty Tamarind Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tamarind-chocolate.md) - [Limited-Edition Vietnamese Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dark-chocolate-bar-1.md) - [Caramelized Organ Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zotter-chocolates-brains-eggs.md) - [Nacho-Flavored Chocolate Bites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheesy-chocolate-bites.md) - [Potato Chive Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mashed-potato-swirl.md)
