Chocolate

Tips & Advice to help you make your decision on Chocolate

Chocolate is a favorite candy, an important ingredient in baking and cooking and a popular choice for gift givers worldwide. This beloved sweet is available to consumers in many forms including chips, bars, syrups and powders. Most shoppers are aware of the difference between milk and dark, but many new products display their cacao percentage on the front of the label, giving shoppers a wide variety of choices in the candy aisle.

The varying cacao percentages affect the taste of the product. Higher percentages typically yield a bitter product and lower percentage bars taste mild. Bitter bars can be used for baking and are sometimes used in savory sauces for meat dishes. Additionally, baking recipes may call for bittersweet or semi-sweet chips. Bittersweet contains less sugar and semi-sweet contains equal amounts cocoa and sugar.

Customers appreciate retailers that carry a wide range of the product they are searching for. Carrying a variety of the different chocolate products outlined above ensures that your customers can find exactly what they are looking for.
