Top chocolate confectionery industry trends for 2018:
- Dessert as an ingredient: Chocolate is always being used as an ingredient in desserts, but desserts being used as an ingredient in chocolate confectionery is new. From crepes to crème brulée and tiramisu –a whole other range of desserts is gradually becoming popular flavors. Beyond baked desserts, we are also seeing things like milkshakes and ice cream flavored chocolates being launched. The German company Kaoka has created an organic dark chocolate with buttery crispy crépes
- Citrus flavors: Manufacturers are progressively experimenting with types of citrus flavors other than the generally used orange flavor in chocolate confectionery. Certainly, in the past year, the number of chocolate products flavored with lemon has increased, globally. And beyond simply lemon, we are seeing more complex variations – products with lemon, yogurt, and pepper, or with lemon oil.
