A quintessential spring and summer flavor, lemon and other
citrus fruits are experiencing increased popularity as a source of immune-boosting vitamin C. As the temperature heats up,
give your product lineup a refresh with these fresh-squeezed lemon
confections.
Lemon Twist Bark
Made with a layer of dark chocolate, topped with lemon white chocolate, then sprinkled with crushed lemon candies and lemon-twist sea salt. A drizzle of dark chocolate is the finishing touch to this sweet, salty and sour bark from Olympian Candies.
Lemon Buttercream
Take it from RCI member Winans
Chocolates + Coffees of Piqua, Ohio and add your favorite lemon flavor for a fresh spin on
your traditional buttercream recipe. To create even more interest, Winans named
the product "Cioccolato de Limone."
Lemon Blueberry Caramel
Lemon and caramel may not be the most expected flavor
combinations, but after Walker’s
Chocolates of Burlington, Ontario won best new piece at Candy Clinic in 2015 for their
Lemon Blueberry Caramel, we’d say it’s a winner! The flavor is achieved by
adding lemon oil and dried blueberries to their caramel recipe.
Lemoncello Chocolate Almonds®
Inspired by the Italian liqueur, this popular panned treat
combines roasted almonds with a coating of white chocolate and lemon cream.
Although this product is available for private label from Sconza Chocolates, you can
achieve your own lemoncello-inspired treats by adding a hint of vanilla to an
existing lemon-flavored confection.
