Pecan Deluxe launches new range of eye-popping candy
16 Aug 2017 --- Pecan Deluxe Candy Ltd has launched its newest popping candy inclusion which is set to delight consumers with its purple hue and bubble gum taste. The range is made from completely natural colors and flavorings and offers a multitude of opportunities to food manufacturers and the catering industry.
Supplied frozen, the candy is ready for combining with almost any ice cream, be it tubs, single servings or handheld sticks. Equally, the new candy makes the perfect decoration for a celebration cake or to jazz up cupcakes, doughnuts and other bakery lines.
This is the latest innovative product development from the food tailor, already well known for its extensive range of inclusions comprising ice cream, bakery, beverage and dessert solutions and featuring a choice of popping candy options, including luster. The popping candy lines boast a fat coating to form a moisture barrier and thus maintain that sensational popping mouthfeel.
In fact, many an adult trying the new candy may be transported back to their youth: it originates from the equally delicious Space Dust, coveted by children in the 1970s. That said, thanks to innovators such as Pecan Deluxe, popping candy has evolved far beyond its origins and now offers the food industry a plethora of tasty solutions limited only by their own imaginations.
Popping candy is just one example of a product that can be specially created in almost any color/flavor combinations. Pecan Deluxe works with food companies to develop completely new ingredient combinations to meet market demands; the candy can also have different barrier coatings applied, including sustainable palm oil, so it retains its “pop-ability” whatever the food application.
Pecan Deluxe R&D Director Liz Jones explained: “Our new bright purple bubble gum flavored popping candy is guaranteed to raise a smile both visually and on tasting. Its unusual color and mouth-watering flavor make it equally at home in a tub of moreish ice cream or as a cookie topping in a fast food outlet or coffee shop. It’s not the only wow-factor ingredient we have, though - as with our other products, all our customers need to do is use their imaginations and work with us to develop what they need to meet mass-market demand and stay ahead of the curve. We can do almost anything.”
All Pecan Deluxe products – which include traditionally made but innovatively flavored fudges, molded chocolate shapes, brownie pieces and praline nuts – are made using natural colors and flavorings in strict allergen controlled, BRC double A grade facilities, and the company is constantly innovating to develop new flavor and texture options.
