Truffle Hot Chocolates

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Lindt Chocolate Hot Chocolate Bar Concoctions are Overwhelming

— November 7, 2014 — Lifestyle
When the weather gets worse in the winter, one of the few perks to the cold and sunshine-deficient season is enjoying all of the hot chocolate all of the time -- which is where these Lindt Chocolate Hot Chocolate Bar recipes come in. From How Sweet It Is, the overloaded hot chocolate is described as "trashed up" and comes in different Lindt chocolate-featuring variations.

How Sweet It Is started with two different bases: one made from dark hot chocolate and one from white hot chocolate. She incorporated Lindt chocolates in different ways, including whisking in truffles to warm milk. By adding different ingredients in (like chocolate chip cookies, mint, cayenne pepper, peanut putter and marshmallows), you add onto these bases and make your own hot chocolate bar.
Trend Themes
1. Overloaded Hot Chocolates - There is an opportunity to create innovative and unique winter beverages by combining hot chocolate with various flavors
2. DIY Hot Chocolate Bar - By providing customers with different hot chocolate bases and toppings, businesses can provide customers with personalized experience and drive sales.
3. Specialty Chocolatiers - Specialty chocolatiers can take advantage of the increasing market for unique and high-end chocolate products.
Industry Implications
1. Hospitality - By adding unique and personalized hot chocolate options to their menu, cafes and restaurants can attract more customers during the winter season
2. Food and Beverage - There is an opportunity for food and beverage companies to create premium hot chocolate mixes and toppings for gourmet at-home hot chocolate bar experiences.
3. Luxury Goods - Specialty chocolatiers can take advantage of the increasing market for unique and high-end chocolate products, creating new market segments for their luxury goods.
