Candy Bar-Infused Cookies

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

These Baked by Rich’s Cookies are Made with Nestlé

— March 11, 2023 — Lifestyle
These Baked by Rich’s cookies are being launched as a series of sweet treats for helping retailers to provide shopper with a series of delicious indulgences with familiar ingredients.

The cookies were created in partnership with Nestlé Professional and come as a thaw and serve option for retailers to provide to shoppers. The cookies come in several varieties that make use of Nestlé-branded candies for their toppings including Aero Bubbles Peppermint, Quality Street Matchmakers Zingy Orange and Little Rolo. Priced at £2.29 for a bag of four cookies, the product only needs to be defrosted to be served and has a five-day shelf life.

Sals, Marketing & R&D Director John Want spoke on the new Baked by Rich’s cookies saying, "This straightforward solution to selling freshly baked goods also helps businesses to mitigate waste; retailers only need to defrost what they know will sell each day. Sites with an in-store bakery can also save on energy costs as the thaw and serve concept doesn’t require use of the oven."
Trend Themes
1. Candy-inspired Baked Goods - There is an opportunity for bakeries and food manufacturers to create baked goods that feature candy-inspired toppings and flavors.
2. Thaw-and-serve Baked Goods - Retailers and food manufacturers can look into creating more thaw-and-serve baked goods to reduce waste and lower energy costs.
3. Branded Ingredient Collaborations - Collaborations between food manufacturers can lead to new, innovative products that incorporate well-known food brands in unique ways.
Industry Implications
1. Bakery - Bakeries can create candy-inspired baked goods to offer customers a unique treat that stands out from traditional baked goods.
2. Food Manufacturing - Food manufacturers can collaborate with other popular brands to create innovative products and increase brand recognition.
3. Retail - Retailers can offer thaw-and-serve baked goods to reduce waste and save on energy costs while still providing fresh-baked options for customers.
