Trade shows are back, and this summer’s scene has been one of utmost excitement, especially when it comes to innovative new products at both the Sweets & Snacks Expo and the Summer Fancy Food Show. The National Honey Board scoured the aisles for the sweetest, most innovative made-with-honey products primed to assist in the snackification explosion of America. It was tough to narrow it down, but here were a few of our honey-sweetened favorites we found in the aisles.
Mediterranean Popcorn Honey + Sea Salt, Zesty Z
Zesty Z brought a Mediterranean-inspired product Stateside to the Summer Fancy Food Show. This air-popped delight is sweetened with honey, creating a sweet and salty flavor explosion twist to a classic snack. Honey + Sea Salt is non-GMO, kosher, and gluten-free.
Dry Roasted Chickpea Snacks Honey Sesame, Talia
Chickpeas were a trending ingredient at the Summer Fancy Food Show, and Talia’s offering to the snacking space offers six grams of protein and five grams of fiber per serving. They are plant-based, gluten-free, dairy-free, grain-free, and kosher.
Honey Mustard Cheese & Pretzel Bites, Whisps
Making their debut at the Sweets & Snacks Expo, Whisps’ Honey Mustard Cheese & Pretzel Bites were a clear-cut choice. Two of America’s favorite snacks are combined to satisfy sweet tooths with honey and cheese lovers’ cravings thanks to 100% artisanal real cheese.
Dried Blueberries & Honey Pecans, Salad Pizazz
Fruit and nuts are a classic favorite mix, and this non-GMO small batch snack treats consumers with no artificial flavors or colors. Snack away on the pack, or add this product to your salad, veggies, or yogurt. The perfect pick-me-up in a 3.5-ounce package.
Honey Pineapple Habanero Sesame Sticks, Crunchy Cravings
The spicy trend was one of the hottest topics at both shows, and Honey Pineapple Habanero Sesame Sticks are 3-oz. bags chock full of flavor explosion. There’s no MSG, artificial colors, or artificial flavors in this crunchy product.
