The Sweets and Snacks Expo displayed the latest and soon-to-come snacks and confections, with some capitalizing on new flavor combinations, some eschewing trends entirely and some returning to their roots.
Seasonal offerings are nothing new in the confectionery aisles, with virtually every holiday having a corresponding packaging from candy manufacturers around the country.
Jelly Belly is no stranger to fusing flavors. The confectionery giant has jelly beans in the flavors of popular alcoholic beverages (its Cocktail Classics line includes Mojito and Pomegranate Cosmo), jelly beans with sour fruits and Bertie Bott’s Every Flavor Beans, centered around the sweet treats (and sometimes tricks) from the Harry Potter universe.
