Winter Fancy Food Show offerings break down notions of what sweets should be
Chocolate-filled seaweed wafers, recycled grain snacks, maple syrup infusions among items at show.
Chocolate-filled seaweed wafers, recycled grain snacks, butter toffee worthy of royalty, maple syrup infusions, and a wide diversity of chocolate bars were some of the candy and snack trends spotted at the 42nd annual winter show.
With 80,000 specialty food and beverages from more than 1,400 exhibitors on display, the 2017 Winter Fancy Food Show was the largest to date. Held between January 22 and 24 at Moscone Center in San Francisco, the show provided the opportunity to discover emerging candy and snack product trends. While today’s political environment might seem dicey, the market for specialty foods is very bullish.
