The Flavor Showdown (sponsored by Snack Food & Wholesale Bakery) has become a hotly anticipated snack industry event. After two days of voting, SNAXPO 2023 attendees tasted the entries, then named the winners in each category.
Chesapeake Spice won first place in the sweet category with their French toast flavor. Their winning entry evokes the comforting flavors of this traditional breakfast treat, with melt-in-your-mouth butter flavor blended with sweet maple syrup. Elite Spice took second place with its entry, gooey butter cake with chocolate drizzle; Revela Foods took third with its strawberry cheesecake frosted chow. Other entries included chocolate truffle, salted caramel tres leches, mango sticky rice, ginger snap cashews, hot honey, and hot honey butter.
