Every year the National Confectioners Association (NCA) holds a massive convention that shows what’s the latest and greatest in candy and snack food trends called the Sweet & Snacks Expo. The 2010 convention was held this past weekend in Chicago and was full to the brim of all that is sweet and tasty. I attended the show back in 2007 when it was still called the “All Candy Expo”, and sadly haven’t been able to make it back since.
Since I couldn’t go this year (Memorial Day weekend is a bad travel time for me) I am living through others experiences though photos and blog posts. Here’s a round up of what I’ve found so far:
The NCA’s official blog Candy Dish has a Day 1 Recap.
Cybele from CandyBlog.net has a sneak peek of some of the new candies coming soon.
NBC Chicago has a gorgeoushttp://www.nbcchicago.com/around-town/food-drink/chicago-sweets-and-snacks-expo-2010-94864169.html”> photo gallery of all the sweet new treats!
Motivation and Chocolate has great coverage on what we can expect to see in stores with great packaging photos.
