Looking for the latest and greatest snacks to satisfy your cravings this National Candy Month? Look no further than the Sweets & Snacks Expo!
Sweets & Snacks is THE go-to event where top manufacturers unveil their innovative candy and snack creations, and we've got the inside scoop on the hottest trends hitting the shelves.
Pickles & Pickle Flavor:
Pickles were the unexpected star of this year's Sweets & Snacks. From Van Holten's hot pickles taking over TikTok challenges to Sour Punch Straws' Pickle Roulette, the pickle craze is in full swing. Even cooler (literally), Van Holten's Pickle Ice Pops bring a refreshing twist to classic ice pops with their pickle-infused flavor.
Spicy Flavors
Things are heating up with spicy flavors stealing the spotlight. Mexican candies, like Lucas, combine bold chili and Chamoy with fruity flavors like mango and watermelon for a fiery and delicious experience. We also spotted collaborations like Dentyne Fire Spicy Cinnamon.
Cone Confections
Cones are no longer just for ice cream. At this year's expo, they took center stage as bite-sized indulgences. From Muddy Bites' chocolate-filled cones to Just the Fun Part's coconut and peanut butter mix-ins, these crispy delights offer endless flavor combinations. Get ready for seasonal twists like pumpkin spice and peppermint dark chocolate!
Brand Collabs
Two favorites coming together? It's a match made in candy heaven! Dunkin Donuts-inspired chocolates, Mike And Ike Cotton Candy, and Country Time Lemonade-flavored treats are just a few examples of exciting brand collaborations that caught our eye. The best of both worlds in one delightful bite.
