Dark chocolate clearly remains a consumer favourite. At the annual All Candy Expo, which ran from 6 to 8 June, a number of new products were on display.
Botticelli's Choco-Meg line, for example, is a new innovation designed to give consumers a daily fix of dark chocolate fortified with omega-3 fatty acids.
The company has launched this Belgian chocolate range in three varieties – Memory Formula (chocolate with orange flavour), Calcium Formula (milk chocolate with cookie bites) and Cardio Formula (dark chocolate with raspberry pieces).
Ghirardelli Intense Dark Gourmet Chocolate Bars on the other hand expands Ghirardelli's range of dark chocolate products. The new line comes in four new flavours, and is clearly targeted at the high-end of the market.
Twilight Delight (72 per cent cacao) is a pure, deep and rich dark chocolate. Citrus Sunset (60 per cent cacao) is dark chocolate fused with flavourful bits of orange and rich caramel crunch, while Toffee Interlude (48 per cent cacao) is a slightly sweeter dark chocolate blended with crunchy toffee and caramelised almonds.
