# Confetti Party Nachos The Cupcake Project's Sweet Nachos Swap a Base of Tortilla Chips for Cookies By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2015-01-10 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweet-nachos References: [cupcakeproject](http://www.cupcakeproject.com/2015/01/loaded-funfetti-dessert-nachos.html) & [cupcakeproject](http://www.cupcakeproject.com/) Inspired by [classic Super Bowl snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/game-day-party-box), this recipe from the [Cupcake Project](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ready-to-serve-mimosas) blog imagines an ordinary savory snack as sweet nachos instead. Rather than being made with tortilla chips, the 'Loaded Funfetti Dessert Nachos' are actually thin triangular cookies that you can whip up yourself and bake in the oven. Although the recipe could stop here, to give the dish an extra festive flair, the cookie dough is completely coated in [colorful sprinkles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-confetti-cookie). Once taken out of the oven and cooled, in place of a drippy cheese dip, these fun nacho treats can be served with some sort of a sweet marshmallow fluff, or as the Cupcake Project recommends, a meringue dip, Nutella, chocolate sauce or even caramel bought from the store. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 42% | Activity: 48% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Sweet Nachos:** There is an opportunity for food manufacturers to create new sweet snack variations inspired by classic savory snacks. - **Dessert Nachos:** There is a gap in the market for new dessert variations of classic snacks that could be sold in grocery stores, restaurants and at events. - **Colorful Sprinkles:** There is potential for food manufacturers and local bakeries to innovate with colorful sprinkles and create festive and eye-catching treats for special occasions and events. ### Where This Applies - **Snack Food Industry:** Opportunities for product development in the snack food industry by introducing sweet variations on classic savory snacks. - **Bakery Industry:** Innovative bakers can create colorful and fun dessert variations of classic snacks like nachos and sprinkle toppings to make savory dishes more appealing. - **Special Events Industry:** Companies specializing in event management and catering can use unique dessert variations of classic snacks like nachos to make their events more memorable and appealing. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [DIY Nacho Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dessert-trash-can-nachos.md) - [Mythical Creature Cookie Nachos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unicorn-cookie-nachos.md) - [Nacho-Flavored Chocolate Bites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheesy-chocolate-bites.md) - [Sweetly Finished Pretzel Bites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/confetti-pretzel-nuggets.md) - [Game Day Cupcakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baked-by-melissa-and-kinder.md) - [Cookie-Based Taco Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cookie-tacos.md) - [Ranch-Flavored Chip Nachos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doritos-notchos.md) - [Snack Chip-Flavored Cupcakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cupcake-collection.md) - [Limited-Edition Dessert Taco Shells](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dessert-taco-shell.md)
