WHY ARE THESE FORMULATIONS ESSENTIAL?

In today’s chocolate market, nostalgic and indulgent formulations are more popular than ever. Consumers seek flavours that evoke childhood's simple pleasures, offering comfort and emotional resonance during uncertain times. Industry experts observe a “growing appeal for flavours that evoke cultural and childhood memories” as people crave familiar, comforting tastes made with better, premium ingredients (Flavour Trends, 2024).

Nearly half of North American consumers (44%) say traditional and nostalgic flavours influence their food and beverage choices (Innova Market Insights, 2024) —a clear sign that vintage flavour profiles can drive purchase decisions.

For manufacturers and product developers, leaning into indulgent nostalgia isn’t just a fad; it’s a strategic response to current trends. Even as innovations emerge, “classic confectionery is not going anywhere”, and there are plenty of opportunities for brands to connect with shoppers seeking “rich, complex and super indulgent flavour profiles” (Confectionery News, 2024).
